    As much as we complain about "big government," having no government is not a good alternative.

    NYT: Study of Elite College Admissions Data Suggests Being Very Rich Is Its Own Qualification

    https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/07/24/upshot/ivy-league-elite-college-admissions.html I thought this article was interesting given the other thread about IUSD and getting into Ivies. Being in the 1% has its advantages: legacy admissions, sports, and private schools. Some interesting...

    IUSD might not be best for college admission

    If you go to a prestigious private or magnate school, then the rules are probably different. Discerning colleges will understand the difference between top 5% at average school vs top 15% at elite school. But IUSD isn't a ivy feeder so your odds are longer.

    IUSD might not be best for college admission

    I agree with IHO. I love Irvine but if your ONLY goal is to get your kid into a Ivy, going private or less competitive public school is probably the way to go. This only works if both you and your child are highly motivated. Too much money / tiger parents in Irvine. While this is great for home...

    Veterans Cemetery coming to Irvine

    Irvine successfully delayed cemetery into oblivion. Veterans got kicked out to Anaheim Hills @ scrapped Mountain Park development.

    Irvine Crime Wave

    Taking phones might delay cops in desolate area, not so much at the Spectrum. Also, phone can still be tracked when off or out of battery.

    Area between Furrow St. and Bella Vista in OH

    When push comes to shove, Irvine will take action if there are injuries. After multiple attacks in Portola, 9 coyotes were euthanized in 2015. Same happened in Woodbridge. https://www.ocregister.com/2015/11/05/coyote-responsible-for-three-irvine-attacks-euthanized-police-said/...

    Unless the criminals have a faraday bag, stealing phones would make it too easy for cops to track you.

    ICE or EV?

    Saw this blue EV9 at HMart last week. US sales don't start till the 4th QT. Must be someone who works for Kia. https://electrek.co/2023/06/19/kia-delivering-new-flagship-ev9-electric-suv/

    Orchard Hills 4 - "The Summit" Updates

    Oops...didn't read the whole VOC article about the bond being paid for by the land sale. I still wouldn't be surprised if OH4 and Gateway homes have a higher MR for land remediation and building the extensive park/trail system. Some of it could also be offset by the city's insurance policy for...

    Orchard Hills 4 - "The Summit" Updates

    Good question. Definitely on Gateway Park homes and probably OH4 to help spread the costs.

    Orchard Hills 4 - "The Summit" Updates

    Ou Ouch! It's going to cost you a lot more Mello Roos/Special Fees to live in OH4. OH3 Ravello homes (which are much cheaper/smaller homes) already have ~$4,000 in annual fees + 1% property tax. Add in another $360M bond in this high interest rate environment and maybe your fees exceed $10k...
