I'm not sure if your first question is rhetorical or not They're import duties paid to a government agency at ports of entry. In the US, the agency responsible for collections is the customs and board protection agency. A quick google search or AI prompt can give additional detail. The answer...

The perception of IUSD is a plus to a segment of buyers with high financial means. SVUSD does not command the same premium. Whether a child is better off in one district or another is a whole other discussion. Now, the real question... how is the marking pricing SVUSD and IUSD great park...

That's interesting. Seller A sells to trust B via seller financed note Trust B sells to Buyer C. Trust B is liquified by sale to C Trust pays A over time Seller A recognizes gain proportionally to principal payments made. Best for sellers who don't need the cash from the sale and are in a...

We're getting petty far into the land of speculation, but since we're at it... 1) I don't think it's that common for a household to be a pair of tech workers earning over $1M liquid full remote (or with in office requirements within reasonable commute from Irvine), but for the ones that do -->...

I suspect a lot of these homes will be empty safety deposit boxes for people with a high inclination for owning/trading real estate. Or perhaps they'll be house sat by college aged progeny, grandma and grandpa raising their grandchildren, or a full time mom and her son. All of whom...

My kids are big fans of that park. Almost every weekend I hear "dada, can we go to the big big big park?", and almost every weekend the answer is "sure". You live in a nice spot :-)

The fire risk is not zero. There's been fire up there before, but the incredibly brave firefighters prevented property damage. People did have to evacuate. Good insurance coverage is key. Hopefully you never need to file a claim. When the Santa Ana winds are at their strongest, maybe instead...

Awesome primary suite and covered side outdoor area. Looks like a nice lot with no rear and only one side neighbor. From what I can tell from the pictures, the house looks well cared for (healthy and well maintained plants, no major stains outdoors or in wet areas). Stonegate is one of my...

I think we agree on the basic textbook definition of DEI - welcome people from all backgrounds and give a little nudge to help certain groups, right? I think the difference we see is how it's implemented. You see DEI as implementing in a way that removes unfair biases, like personality or...

I added context to the source you cited. Agreed though, it was insulting, my bad. I stand by the general claim though - reddit is comprised mostly of young people who have spent most of their lives not producing and not earning. They seem particularly miserable, negative, and anti capitalist...

You do realize that most of reddit is filled with entitled verbose children who have never produced anything besides self centered arrogant ignorant complaints via pressing buttons on their keyboard, right? 1) Merit is the ability to effectively and efficiently execute a prescribed outcome...

+ $6,500/yr Mello Roos. Cost of ownership will be high here. Like others have mentioned, for these (expected) prices and carrying cost, Newport looks much more attractive.

1) You're pretending to care deeply for your imagined group called the "underprivileged" while simultaneously hating and demonizing your imagined group called the "privileged". This is quite divisive rhetoric. 2) DEI is racist, prejudice, and anti-meritocratic. 3) If you want compassion talk...

^^ This guy's solution to his claim of racism is.... racism!

Where were you with these points for the last 4 years man? Lol
