It's such a noisy city.  I really don't know what's worse.  The sound of gunfire or leaf blowers and lawnmowers.

for 10 worst cities for driving: http://money.cnn.com/gallery/autos/2013/02/21/worst-cities-traffic.fortune/7.html It must be all of the FCBs.

at least according to the list linked in this article: http://missionviejolife.org/2013/02/13/mission-viejo-ranked-safest-city-in-california-again/ It has Mission Viejo as the safest in California, 6th in the US.  Irvine is only 10 while Johns Creek is 2.  I don't know what the criteria of the...

Are these people dreaming, or have housing prices in Turtle Ridge really gone up nearly a million dollars in the past ten years? http://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/57-Shady-Ln-92603/home/5892632#property-details http://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/32-Cezanne-92603/home/5900801...

Don't let the secret out.  Irvine schools aren't all they're cracked up to be especially if your kid is on the non-honor/AP track. http://www.ocregister.com/news/doan-375893-grades-students.html

I accidentally took the northbound 73 toll road at Bonita Canyon.  It cost $1.50 to go one mile (I don't have fast track).  When did the price get so high?  I remember when it was 25 cents.  What a scam.

Say you got one of those 7 year ARMs in 2005 and it was scheduled to reset in a couple months, would your payments be more or less than they were? I seem to remember back in the IHB days that the consensus was that housing was going to implode around now.  But I don't think anyone guesses that...

If you inherit a house and choose to keep it, do the property taxes stay the same or do they increase based on the current value of the house?

http://www.ocregister.com/articles/schwartz-358409-hoa-douglas.html This article got me to thinking.  What actually happens if you paint your house the wrong color and refuse to change it or don't bother to do repairs that are required or violate any of the other hundreds of rules of your HOA?

What are they building off of Bonita Canyon Drive across from the Mariners Church?  Is it part of the UCI campus or are those houses going to be for sale?

How do the prices compare to Costco?  Are things really cheaper? I'm thinking of getting the $10/10 week membership to try it out since their gas is as cheap as Costco's but without the twenty minute line.

I was looking at the foreclosure listings here:http://www.mypublicnotices.com/OrangeCounty/PublicNotice.asp and noticed a couple that said YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A LIEN FOR UNPAID ASSOCIATION ASSESSMENTS. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE.  The...

Ok, I know this is a stupid question, but the other day I was wondering who actually owns the land in Home Owners Associations like the greenbelts, pools, lanscaping areas, etc?  Is it city owned property or do the home owners own 1/1000th of it?

How am I supposed to convince my out-of-state relatives that the reason why Irvine housing is at a premium is because of the weather?

What is going on?  We have been bombarded with phone calls and junk mail from all political parties.  I don't remember it ever being this bad.  Unfortunatley, I always answer the phone, but I think I am going to vote for whomever who has not sent out harassing mail or calls even if it means...
