wrong wrong wrong. Again your wrong.
Belly is 200% for Irvine besides GP and Liar is not.
Belly is about the bling bling and Liar is not. (Belly?s sports car, check it out yo, new home, latest phone)
Belly had great food reviews of popular resutaunts. I have not heard a food review from Liar.
Belly doesn?t care about politics and Liar does. (Liar forces his view on people, Belly says one thing and people agree and follow)

If you wanna say I?m wrong, then ok, you can keep saying that. Maybe YF himself can come one day and make it clear, but he didn?t really like Irvine. He saw the city as a good opportunity to make more money from RE, but he never really liked the city if you really read carefully of what he wrote. I mean, why in the world would he make the environmental hazard posts/sheets to bring down every village in Irvine if he?s 200% for Irvine? He also specifically said he doesn?t want to do any other business in Irvine because of the political corruption and whatnot. Well, most of his posts are only ?.? so you might not remember lol. But if you want to believe I?m wrong and you?re right then keep thinking that way.

Rizdak, nice to see you still around.
I?m with you, on his characters.
Many things he posted were full of sh*t and garbages.
Hence, the many hours, NOT 8, that was spent going back to delete and X out. This does tell me that those who posted and now you see an empty comments had said something with either regrets or with fears.
Posters, should just have to relax, have fun and understand that everyone are entitled to their ideas or opinions and should just leave it where his thoughts at the time.

Free Great Park balloon rides for five years due to sponsorship, Great Park Parking Garage, U.S. Olympic Water Polo Center and Field House (Indoor Gym) approved by the city today.
Home for USA Water Polo to make a splash at Orange County Great Park ? Orange County Register
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.oc...ake-a-splash-at-orange-county-great-park/amp/
?Under a partnership with developer FivePoint Holdings, which created many of the park?s existing features, the city will build a pool facility where the U.S. Olympic team will train as well as a field house for basketball and volleyball and a parking garage to serve those and the park?s other sports facilities. In another deal finalized Tuesday, rides on the Great Park balloon become free again.
I think we?ll finally be able to call Irvine our home,? two-time Olympian Maggie Steffens said in celebrating the facility where the U.S. men?s and women?s water polo teams will be able to practice together and host tournaments.
Tuesday?s decision, applauded at an afternoon Great Park board meeting and approved by the Irvine City Council the same evening, means the city will build $250 million in projects and pay for them by borrowing against future taxes homeowners pay toward the area?s community facilities. Once they?re open, the facilities will complete the 688-acre park?s sports-focused western quadrant.
Also Tuesday, FivePoint agreed to sponsor the Great Park?s iconic orange balloon ride ? originally a gift to the city from the developer ? and drop the $10 admission charge.
With financing in place, officials will complete final design of the water polo facility and may begin construction by early 2021. That gives ample time for the national teams to move in and begin preparing for the 2024 Paris Olympics, USA Water Polo CEO Christopher Ramsey said in an interview Monday.
He also stressed the community benefits of the pool complex: USA Water Polo offers water safety programs and has recreational leagues for athletes of all ages, and while it will manage the facility, the city will get guaranteed pool time for its own swimming activities.
?For us, this is a dream come true,? Ramsey said. ?We could not be doing the scale of what we?re doing without this partnership.?
The financing arrangement appears advantageous to the city, which won?t have to spend its own money on construction.
As homes are built and sold in Great Park neighborhoods, those homeowners pay taxes toward infrastructure and maintenance at the park, and some of the money will be available to the city and the developer to add more park features, FivePoint CEO Emile Haddad said. The financing arrangement does not increase the tax rate.
?If you build the right amenities, people will be willing to pay you a premium? to live near and regularly enjoy them, he said.
FivePoint is pledging the $250 million out of the pool of taxes it expects in the future, but it?s not losing revenue, because those dollars must be spent for the Great Park?s benefit, Irvine City Manager John Russo said.
The additional park amenities also benefit FivePoint: the city Planning Commission on Thursday, Oct. 17, approved the developer?s plans for a hotel, restaurants, shops and offices on the park?s edge. The businesses will have something of a captive audience of people attending sports tournaments and competitions or using the park?s trails and open space. Besides water polo, the park has soccer, baseball and softball fields, tennis courts and an ice rink where the Anaheim Ducks hold some practices.
Having the new facilities and parking ?adds a tremendous value? to FivePoint?s developments, Russo said.
The balloon has been at the Great Park since before there even was a park. But until Irvine struck the sponsorship deal with FivePoint, city leaders worried they?d have to shut the balloon down because it was running at a loss.
?This is really great news,? Mayor Christina Shea said Tuesday. ?Now we?re saving residents a million, almost a million dollars a year.?

I missed this post. Yeah... that's also why I try to protect my anonymity.
It's unfortunate that you can't have an opinion in your personal life without having it affect your job.

Well... semi-anonymous... there are a few of us who have met in real life and still stay in contact.
I'm still wary of meet-ups because one member tried to get personal information about me from someone I have met.

Maybe sending a gift as a thank you or something for all the educations and pros of buy in Irvine 
from IHO.
from IHO. It?s not to hard to figure out. When you tell blog about the spots car that you drive, village location, and model of house.
Also, don?t blame me for past incidents. I didn?t chase someone in a parking lot the other person did. I just heard about it. I thought it was fake news but I guess it was true. Lol

Let's settle it in the ring. 9 rounds at OC kick boxing. Who's in?

Someone actually wrote here what car they drive, what model and village they live?
Even if they did, what if it's not true? They could make up whole stories. Someone could say "I drive Lambo and live in OH Reserve" while they actually live in Eastwood Delano above garages.
