Have fun paying the $45,000 annual tax bill for that 3 million dollar home.  The 99% are hatin'
 
Wow... so those dimensions pass for "low density residential" today?

For the equivalent of a $3,000,000 house, you could live pretty well in Laguna Beach itself, and be in a great school district to boot.
 
As long as I can sell my house for more (big if, but maybe), I can take my tax base to that house (have to get the cheapies....... lol!).

Do I want another 4200 sq foot house? Not really but I would love a new home, downstairs master, multigenerational room, casita.

Big if....

A few miles to 3 major highways, within 10 mins to several shopping centers...yeah that's definitely in the middle on no where. Might as well be living in Death Valley  ::)
 
im kind of OCD when it comes to knowing how long it takes to get from point A to point B.  From the time we exited the grove to the 5 freeway was about 7 minutes, not as bad as i first thought. this was on a weekend though.

I'm the same way. Lately it's been taking me a lot longer to get to the freeway than it did when I first moved in though :(

Oh geez. This must be a "man thing". Mr. SoCal is this way, too. He will also go to (what I consider) great lengths just to shave one minute off of a drive.  ::) Men.

I make that drive all the time and usually it's 5-7 mins to the 5.  For me to get to spectrum, the district it takes me 10 mins and the marketplace is like 5-6 mins. John Wayne down jamboree and right on Michelson 15 mins max. Going down jamboree is actually much faster than culver.

Jamboree only jams up from El Camino until Mitchell and then it opens up until you hit Barranca.

The only problem is that most drivers don't know you can go up to 65mph!!  They drive at 45mph which frustrates the crap out of me.

Just drove behind someone doing 50 in a 65mph zone.  I took a breath and just followed them.  I figured that I should try to work on my inner zen and realize that the possible 20 seconds I make up by passing him may be offset by arriving at the next light when it is red. It was very hard to keep calm the whole time.  Nearly missed the turn light while he would have made it!

5 foot side yards and 7 foot rear yards.  That's some high end shit!

7 ft rear yard setback applies to CA room, 5 ft rear yard setback applies to casita option.  Doesn't apply to all the homes.  Ideal no, but not as bad as painted by test. 

5 ft sideyard setback is standard.  I don't see them applying for admin relief on the side yards.

5 foot side yard is standard.  Bare minimum.  A $1 home has a 5 foot side yard.  Should a $3 million home also have 5 foot side yard?
 
Guard tower is up, similar in fashion with Laguna Altura.  Framing for Capri and Marabella seems to be completing as well.
