    OC professor tells Asian couple to ?go back to your home country'

    So I guess if a CEO says something like what happened with this lady, but not in his company, the CEO is ok and entitled?  If Trump says stupid stuff but not in his white house, then it's ok? Also is "European-American displacement" truth?  Displacement means forced to move or give up one's...

    Currently living in PS 3.  No foul smell, no noticeable pollution.  The sky is more clear and the air seems very fresh almost all the time even with all the construction in PS 5 and Altair.  PS is quite large so it depends which section and I heard Woodbrige is actually worse since the wind...

    Portola Springs Neighborhood 4B: Brisa, Celeste and Talise

    Portola Springs didn't have anything much around and near them for many years.  Things can and will be different mainly because of, if Portolar High school and all other newly open public schools go up the rank like Northwood schools and Beckman did.  Also the businesses coming to near Spectrum...

    Irvine: Rent vs Buy

    buying is almost always better with 2 condition: 1) buy what you can afford, may be stretch a little like instead of 28%/38% DTI ratio, go up to 35%/45% in good location with potential and 2) do not sell within roughly 5 to 7 years later even if you have to move because of job or something else...

    Another IUSD School Boundary Change

    That's what people said about Northwood when it was open and wanted their kids stay or go to irvine high. Similar thing for Beckman and Santa Ana students were bused in.  Look where Northwood and Beckman are. However I know and heard plenty students and parents struggle in Northwood and planned...

    Legado in PS - anyone currently live there? Any other thoughts/opinions?

    Assuming it's still PS3 versus CV thread... I currently live in PS3.  As mentioned by many, 133 or Portola Pwky is the way to go.  It adds a 5 to 10 min than living in CV but I enjoy the quietness, fresh air, clear sky, and hill background scene.  If they indeed build some stores at Modjeska and...

    Home value/Appraisal question on new construction homes

    I bought a new construction home in early phase of development about a year ago.  The lender used nearby comp to match the selling price.  Since then, about 10 phases were released and the same plan recently was sold about 11% more than what I paid while other existing homes similar to mine...

    Email Melissa Fox about cemetery landswap

    It won't be like Yosemite Valley or Oregon Coast line but it would be better than brick walls or dark painted walls like the one along Irvine Blvd.  Have you even been to any National cemetery?  Have you been to Arlington? Westwood?

    Email Melissa Fox about cemetery landswap

    I may be a minority on this issue but since I live nearby...  I rather have a nicely done national cemetery with open space and views than another a few hundred condos and homes.  What's needed in that area is actually retail shopping, not more homes, like Target, restaurants, quick bite...

    Rental Market in Irvine

    I agree with USCTrojanCPA on this 100% and that's what we did before we bought our place last year... Only thing is that many RE agents didn't think we were good enough to be their client but things worked out for me somehow.

    What are my internet service provider options in Irvine?

    Don't just go with Cox website.  When I moved into my new home, the best Cox deal on the web was about $80 per month for 100 Mb (?) but when I called both Cox and AT&T, the actual human on the phone was able to get me better deals.  I ended up getting $55 per month for 2 years for 150 Mb...

    House price appreciation

    I agree with OH being the best chance whether TUSD or IUSD.  It's on hilly area which is not that common in central Irvine and very well planned out.  I couldn't afford anything in OH even though I was waiting for it since 2009 but when 2013 came around, it was pretty obvious that I missed the...

    Landscaper suggestions in Portola Springs

    I have a small patio (about 500 sq ft) in Portola Springs.  Do I have to use a professional to get approval from HOA or can I DIY it?  Has anyone used any landscaper in PS who can do all necessary permits and paper work so I won't have to do? I'm just going to do very basic and inexpensive...
