Hi all,
I've read in a few posts that Irvine is considered a liquification zone, I assume this may occur as a result of a large earthquake. In Japan those homes/structures that are in areas that have been zoned that way suffered liquefaction of varying degrees during the many earthquakes and aftershocks that have occurred since mid-March.
Many homes are repairable but not likely to be sold again. I'm unaffected as I live on very solid ground. However I'm concerned and a bit confused how Irvine could be considered zoned in this way as it's so far inland and I presume on regular land vs. reclaimed land.
So my question is - how much of a concern is this really ? I would not want to spend close to a million dollars on a home to discover it and the land are unusable after "escaping" a relatively large earthquake.
