    Is this house super overpriced?

    I’ve got a controversial POV: people are getting wise to what a PITA living in Laguna Beach actually is, and memories of the 93 fire remain. Old infrastructure with many homes having sewer issues. Ingress/egress sucks. If I had a $5M budget and wanted to live by the beach it would be Niguel...

    Obamacare

    What’s funny but a real problem is the healthcare cost debate never touches on the true cost drivers: physicians and nurse and hospital compensation / pricing. AMA is a cartel and Congress works with them to limit the number of residency slots, which haven’t been increased for a long time...

    Moving to Irvine for Middle/High School: Feedback requested

    Uni High is the ultimate pressure cooker high school in Orange County. If they’re of superior IQ and work ethic it’s perfect, but can also be a prison for the average achiever.

    20+%YoY rev growth at a 24.5 PE in a 1.7T market cap - I’ll buy that all day long

    ICE or EV?

    I’ve been saying EVs would bankrupt Porsche and here we are - basically a break even business right now. Sad.

    Oil

    100%, but the physical limitations and burdensome regulation those policies have imposed on refineries are intractable in the near term - we are certainly on the road to $10/gal gas within the next 3-4 yrs. Bank on it.

    Oil

    Oh, we’ll have $10 / gal gas here soon. All the energy development will be sucked up by datacenters and without a pipeline into the state the physics of transporting the oil and limited refining capacity make me glad I went EV a few years back.

    Tustin Marketplace, Tokyo Central, Diho Bakery, etc.

    Ralph’s is so ghetto - I never go there. Fortunately here in LN we also have a giant Pavilions, Whole Foods, Gelson’s and a couple decent Albertsons. Have not seen what you describe at another store. Perhaps Irvine’s proximity to Tustin and SA draw the deplorables.

    EV/Plug-in/Other vehicles

    None - all Range Rovers, Bentleys, German usual suspects. I think I did see a Taycan now that you mention it - should have a sign on it denoting fastest depreciation in history

    EV/Plug-in/Other vehicles

    I went to a party at Newport Beach CC the other night and was shocked to see zero Teslas in the parking lot - so different from my old club in San Jose. I freaked everyone out at the end of the night with Summon .

    Admissions into UC broken down by schools

    I don’t think UCLA or Cal accept transfers into impacted majors

    New Detached Condos Coming Soon at Los Olivos

    What is the criteria for a HOPE scholarship? I have a buddy who was the Georgia STAR pupil in the late 70s from a small town his dad basically developed called Toccoa. I guess this was some kind of statewide academic recognition. He did a 5 year undergrad/MD at Emory on a full ride, maintaining...

    New Detached Condos Coming Soon at Los Olivos

    Your analogy is flawed in that GA Tech lets in 3.0 students whereas USC Marshall likely had a handful of 3.0 extreme DEI admits so the competition level at USC will be much higher and grading at USC is brutal.

    ICE or EV?

    Had my M3 Performance serviced today - tire rotation, cabin air filter etc. had a brake squeak after reversing however guidance was after “only” 52 K miles it was just dirt buildup on the Brembos - I was concerned about warped rotors. What performance car has brakes looking nearly new after 50K...

    President Trump

    The Dems are being hopelessly out maneuvered - who is their “Terminator”? Between Trump, Thune and Johnson leading the show it’s like a major league team playing a low A-ball team.

    President Trump

    Proper English = “caused an allergic reaction” I was blown away he didn’t apologize for his lie . I predict a MAGA boycott of all Disney entities that will flush him out.
