Orange County's growth has slowed down, but not in Irvine
Mayor Steven Choi has worried that the new one- and two-bedroom apartments don’t lend themselves to the stable family vibe Irvine has long nurtured in its single-family neighborhoods. But he’s adjusting.
“I’ve complained and they say, ‘Mayor, the millennials, they prefer not to own a property. They prefer to live a simple life. The home prices are too expensive. Our young people cannot even afford to buy. We need to provide the housing for young people,’” Choi said.
