    Real Estate Competition

    A lot of 80s Irvine buyers like my parents were a functioning white flight from LA school districts that were heavily black/latino, which in Pasadena was the original white flight phenomenon after SCOTuS ordered PUSD desegregated in the early 70s. Today less than 30% of Pasadena school age kids...

    Economy and Climate Change

    Mimics my calculus. Just being within 4 miles of Salt Creek makes me warm and fuzzy every day and no Midwest country club McMansion could replace it.

    Orchard Hills 4 - "The Summit" Updates

    Irvine Ranch WD has the worst water quality per our plumbers though all of South OC has terrible water quality which leads to pipe corrosion and copper pinhole leaks - you can see the blue residue which we did when we did the PEX repipe and Halo 5 whole house water system after we sprung a leak...

    Toyota moving to Texas

    The roads in South OC are pretty nice, Long Beach not so much, but SoCal freeways are way better than up in the Bay Area or worse east coast

    ICE or EV?

    Absolutely - which helps Tesla, as Trump deep down knows he owes Elon. Just finished another FSD cruise up 5 as a super commuter - actually arrive more refreshed than when I fly

    Johns Creek ranks #1 Best Place to Live by U.S. News & World Report

    Good luck to them as new doctors these days don’t make near enough to buy the median OC house (well maybe in Stanton) but he’d be fine in JC. And I doubt there are many openings for him in OC, a prime destination for specialists. If you want to make the bucks as a specialist these days you need...

    Johns Creek ranks #1 Best Place to Live by U.S. News & World Report

    Let’s be real: Atlanta has way more corporate jobs than LA/OC and GA Tech is on par with USC/UCLA. Bay Area is in its own league as the best job market in the world. Lots of people like CalBruin’s wife hate the beach so for people like that ATL is a great value prop - more high paying jobs and...

    "Cry 'Havoc!', and let slip the dogs of war".

    The concept of a Sanctuary City is an act of sedition and needs to be eradicated via these lawsuits, which I predict will prevail in 6-3 rulings

    Retail Openings and Closures

    That was a mini-DFs, but pretty good . Mastros has good quality control and bigger menu and will offer a “scene” at the Soectrum if that’s what you want .

    CA public sector salaries are reflective of the power of their unions , a legacy of Jerry Brown who made the fatal live to allow collective bargaining with state employee unions. Santa Clara County sheriffs start out of the academy at $107K base, and most 2-5X that with OT. Los Gatos PD police...

    It was a good recruiting event - showcasing the legacy and power of our military - as well as a good reminder to the Axis of Evil their capabilities are still far from ours

    Martin helped us sell our San Jose house to a young couple , late 20s/early 30s where his single income qualified them (barely). Their Mom was their agent so donated her commission and I think helped a bit on the DP so they got a little help, but he was able to qualify for the $8K+ payment. Why...
