Unfortunately, the fatality rate for 2019nCoV appears to be 0.2% (2/1000 infected, but data is still incomplete) versus a rate of 0.01% for normal seasonal flu (though the worst strains were similar to the 2019nCoV). Fortunately, it does not appear to be killing pre-teens

personal reasons, or lack of interest by bidders?

So you favor public school teachers having to pay their 10% contribution in order to receive half the payout of social security?  in your 401k scheme, is their employer matching? personally, I think that punitive approach will result in a big decrease in the quality of teachers.

maybe the right-wing Washington examiner isn't an unbiased source? https://www.bea.gov/data/special-topics/distribution-of-personal-income https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/z1/dataviz/dfa/index.html both say for the bottom 80%, wealth is lower now than in 2007

the average american?  50% don't even have a retirement account that contains equities, and wages for the bottom 80% have not kept up with inflation.

I find it reprehensible that you, "gpquest" would call anyone "un-American" who has devoted their time to public service and who has been elected.  Are you similarly labeling each of their hundreds of thousands of voters "un-american"?

That fish-eye lens for pic 22 is super-deceptive.  It makes a 6-foot wide space seem like 18 feet!

part of the area is Laguna, but a long bus ride/parent transport to the schools the other side is Aliso schools, which are not quite so good...

One never owns in Irvine.  Always have to pay (and obey) the HOA.  Always have tax and MR (sometimes increasing).

I did the side and top seal gaskets on my 2 car and 1 car garage holes in about an hour, and as I said, the parts were under $100 for all.  just needed a pry-bar to lift off the deformed old gaskets, and a hammer to apply the new ones.  and a little caulk for the corner joints. (I've never met...

yes, normal after sun exposure that the rubber deforms, also as the house 'settles'. easy to replace with home despot supplies and a hammer for under $100.  maybe ?$300? to get it done.

Curious what do people think about the proportion of constituent populations of the homeless in SF and OC/LA: mentally ill (used to be housed in hospitals/etc): %? struggling poorly employed, but basically good citizens:  %? 'bums/hobos/druggies': %? (could be a poll, but I don't know how....)

I received a mailer from Quicken last night for 2.97% for a 15 yr fixed. If I had a 4+% mortgage, I would be all over that. Who thinks that we will see a sub-3% 30yr in the next year?

Where is the oven in this kitchen?  How can you cook your Thanksgiving turkey?

If your real estate salesperson assistant cannot answer all of these questions for you, I suggest you let them go.  USCTCPA and IR2 (Scott Gunther) are both very helpful and knowledgeable, and would be good replacements.

how much $$ do you think they invested in the renovation?

How could that have been built in 2015?  is that a typo? It looks like an 80s rehab on the cheap!

That last quote is true.  Due to decreased fed withholdings, I actually had to pay the IRS, rather than getting a refund this year. My fed tax rate went up 0.5% of my income for 2018, all due to loss of SALT on the fed taxes.

That little flower bed below the overhang of the adjacent house! Who takes care of that?  What if you overwater and damage the stucco of your neighbor?  Arghhh...only in 6-pack land!

Non-profits have no obligation to be fair. Using your argument, most religious organizations would have to lose their non-profit status also.  Is this what you are proposing?
