    Superbowl

    The game was a snoozer even at my buddy’s pad in Talega filled with locals. The h/t show was the most bizarre performance I’ve ever seen. If the idea was to showcase Puerto Rican culture it came off as pretty ghetto. Could have thrown in a couple doctors or engineers..just saying. Through...

    Portola Springs odors

    That landfill will remain, and it will be a long term albatross to affected Irvine home values , perhaps all of Irvine as the SCAQMD is now on record assigning blame to the landfill.

    President Trump

    After what Obama did deploying the intelligence agencies to subvert his campaign and later his pre-inaugural administration no amount of demonization is sufficient for that traitor

    Orchard Hills 4 - "The Summit" Updates

    The only one worth the money is Harker - that is straight up west coast Philips Exeter-level prestige with the top schools. Challenger was where all the Asians sent their kids for elementary school, especially Indians. As you’re aware however the most prestigious high schools are the publics in...

    Newer Irvine listings with crazy WTF asking prices from equity sellers

    Condos owners are a step above renters but tainted by osmosis as most condo communities have high percentages of renters

    Newer Irvine listings with crazy WTF asking prices from equity sellers

    YMMV isn’t familiar with coastal California culture - no one wants to live next to renters. I witnessed this actually much worse in the Bay Area. Our street in LN had a few at the end of the cul de sac that rented from original owners, now just 2 left as we’ve had a string of sales over the past...

    Newer Irvine listings with crazy WTF asking prices from equity sellers

    OC RE is all about appreciation - new purchases will never cash flow though a buddy with a house in the Port Streets he bought after GFC for a good price and remodeled told me he can get at least $10K/mo, which would be great cash flow relative to his mortgage payment . I just wonder how...

    ICE or EV?

    It took decades for these cars to become valuable and lots of Fed rate repression . My high school buddy sure wishes he had kept his 69 Firebird for 40 years.

    Olivewood at Portola Springs by New Home Co.

    Perhaps they could refer to Larry Agran’s interview on Petros and Money yesterday on 710am where he talked about eliminating red tape to make Irvine business friendly. How about patriotic too?

    Landfill Smell in Portola Springs or Orchard Hills Summit?

    Anyone buying near or in that Bee Canyon landfill (for which I did some IT work for the contractors in their trailer on site in 91 - such a disgusting building site) deserves to suffer those smells . Same with Newport Coast or Bonita Canyon. We haven’t even discussed long term cancer rates!

    I left out Flamingos - great booths in the TV/bar area for a game. Also great Argentine/Italian spot Villa Roma in the same strip mall.
