I think that parking rules should be enforced when a problem arise, but right now, Columbus Square is not even built out yet. It might be several more years before it is. I have no idea why people are even stressing out on parking at this time. When the time comes, I think each resident...

The CC&Rs; are net set in stone. They were created before the resdidents started living there. I think the CURRENT RESIDENTS should vote and decide what is the best solution for them. 1) I would hate to visit a friend and risk having my car towed. 2) I would hate to be a resident...

my friend rented a house with an unpermitted bed/bath. the city is making the owner demolish or change it to an outdoor patio. my friend has to move now. it can be quite serious if your neighbors snitch on you!

Honestly, this whole complex parking procedure is created to give the HOA something to do with the homeowners' money. It's also a way to generate income for the tow company. In may opinion, rather than going through this whole registration process, they should just give each household 2...

I have a friend who is a pharmacist and works 60+ hours a week. He's looking to buy a house. I'm advising him to find a place that is move-in ready. I know that there is much satisfaction in customizing your home, but it also depends on how much time you have. If you are too busy with work...

I currently live in my girlfriend's condo. We pay $1600/month for the mortgage. Since the place is a one bedroom and NOW is a good time to buy, we have been thinking about selling this place and buying a bigger home. The problem is... we only want to spend $2000/month. With that in mind, the...

ha ha... my buddy emailed me today. now, he's looking for a 2 bedroom condo in GG for 200K. Guess he realized now that he doesn't need all that space, but would prefer a more convenient location.

Those are some good points. However, I feel that you start building roots where you live. So far me, it's better to find a good location and grow around it; that is, buy a bigger house in the future when needed. He has never lived in Anaheim nor Santa Ana. I think it would be better for him...

Wow... that's quite a bit of information. Basically, he's a 25 year old accountant with a budget of 300K. His parents insist that he buys a 3 bedroom house with a yard... they think it'll make more sense in the long run. I think he should buy a 2 bedroom condo in a better neighborhood and...

I think that people tend to put a premium on "owning". That is, they rather own a crappy place than rent a nice place. In my opinion, where you live is more important than how you hold title to the property. It's all about the quality of life. I know a lot of happy/unhappy owners and...

He said something about Brookhurst and Ball. The thing is, he works in Costa Mesa and would now need to take the 5 and 55. But he doesn't seem to care about the location or neighborhood. He just insists that it's a pretty decent house. I fear that he's only focused on the house and not...

I have a friend who currently lives in Westminster. He has decided to buy a house. He wants to spend around 300K. He initially looked in Garden Grove and Westminster, but could not find anything at that price. So then he decided to look in Santa Ana and Anaheim. He says he has found a house...

i think excessive parking restrictions are lame. what if you had a party with 15 cars over? parking rules may benefit families with kids, but they sure suck for single adults with friends!

so he lives in a house with negative 300k in equity. many people would choose to just let the house go. as for buying a second home first, most lenders require the buyer to have sufficient equity in BOTH homes, so he wouldn't be able to buy that second home anyways. lenders aren't that...

hey all, i went apartment browsing last week. if i was going to move right now, I would totally want to move into one of the new ones on Jamboree. THe first place I looked at was Calypso. The place has spacious floorplans and really upgraded kitchens/baths. The second place I looked at was...

I guess that in Southern California, the only schools that matter are UCSD, San Diego State, UCR, Chapman, USC, UCI, and UCLA. UCSD has remained consistently highly ranked. UCR is just in pretty crappy location - the Inland Empire. UCI has a very bad reputation for being a dry, boring...

i'm curious too. how much do they go for?

Orange County has a lot of Whites, Hispanics, and Asians. Unless you live in Newport or Santa Ana, you should see a significant amount of diversity in any area. Personally, I think Fountain Valley is an ideal location - good schools, safe neighborhoods, proximity to the beach, and right next...
