Count me in but for me the overpriced areas of Irvine are restricted to the new builds north of 5. I don’t find new builds attractive…cookie cutter floor plans and tiny lots. Personally if I have to stay in Orange County it will still be Irvine (dream house and location is similar to USC’s) but...

The problem is the extra $600k you will recoup when you sell, but not the private school tuitions. The more kids you have, the more money saved. But you are right, young family with kids are being priced out of Irvine

Damn I feel claustrophobic looking at those backyard pictures…at least you are going to be intimate with your neighbors

So we need IDs to shop at Costco but not needed for voting.

Toyota is dangling the carrot…the always coming soon solid state battery that charges in half the time and has twice the range…so buyers today should hold on buying EVs and wait for Toyotas solid state EVs…

ICE won https://x.com/semtexfarmhand_/status/1747193213574676550?s=46&t=-7m-TDwX9c1xkG4ipIrobw

Love or hate the Irvine Company, but they never miss in terms of schools.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-01-11/hertz-to-sell-20-000-evs-in-shift-back-to-gas-powered-cars EV for rental doesn’t make much sense because quite of bit people who rent are traveling and range anxiety is real. But high repair cost?

That’s why I always believe the best location in Irvine is south of 405. But if you don’t mind old houses and can afford upgrades for a modern facelift, SFRs built by JM Peters in WestPark are the best value in Irvine.

At this rate you would want to be armed while shopping at Costco. It will be lucrative for robbers just take the whole cart with items worth several hundreds of dollars, and the one with big screen TV would become higher priority target

Legacy autos need to do better…Tesla and Rivian have no demand issues for their EVs. For example, if Toyota does an EV version of Camry with good range it will sell like hotcakes. Legendary reliability reputation but now an EV? Bigger and more roomy than Model 3? Would be an absolute winner.

The rating of the elementary school assigned to Oak Creek look awful though. At least it is not Culverdale or College Park elementary…also the same can be said for Tustin Field. Probably one of the reasons these trade at a discount despite relatively good locations

How much will this Chinese Porsche cost? https://www.engadget.com/xiaomi-says-its-su7-ev-can-outperform-porsche-and-has-more-tech-than-tesla-095637762.html

Surprised Toyota has an EV now. It is the leader in hybrid and fuel cell; looks like this model with a funky name is just rushed effort to build an EV for risk diversification

history suggests pitchers of relative small frame (under 6 ft) don't have longevity....if he opts out after year 6 Dodgers will probably dodge a bullet, but would've enjoyed age 25 to 31 seasons before his body start to break down

So in theory a red state can prevent Biden to run using 25A?

if I recall correctly, Calbears is mostly interested in one particular lot in Cielo. and he was not able to afford later phases (prior to his RSUs hit ATH) so better to have one bird in hand because no guarantee he could get his dream home.

There is a good chance the capital gain will exceed $500k by then….

yes. renting making the most sense; my napkin math shows rent would be half of the PITI (20% down) or less for houses at this price range.

That looks like a plan 2 and I really like the idea that upstairs LOFT is overlooking the open to above greatroom; makes everything looks more open and spacious. But I still prefer unicorns like USC’s current house…
