    What is reasonable here?

    2 of those Plan 2 units were leased back in October for $4,300 and $4,600. At your current rate, you're definitely paying under market any way that you look at it. Even at $3,900 - you'd still be paying under. I think your counteroffer needs to start with a $4,xxx. If you do decide to leave...

    coronavirus

    What exactly are the CDC admitting to? I'd call it more of an advisory rather than admitting to anything. A safety signal from a single database will be investigated - but no change in safety recommendations Although the totality of the data currently suggests that it is very unlikely that the...

    Retail Openings and Closures

    New Hmart in Northpark is nice. Really good sales going on right now for their grand opening (thru 1/31). Produce, meat, and seafood are all super fresh. I got the live lobster and it was really good. Parking is bad right now but it should settle down once the excitement dies down. Good work by...

    EV/Plug-in/Other vehicles

    There are new Superchargers in the permitting phase for 8 stalls at Zion Market shopping center on Irvine Blvd and 8 stalls at Irvine Spectrum. Guessing we'll see them sometime in late 2023 or early 2024.

    New communities in Portola Springs

    From a modern floor plan perspective, I really like the Ravello/Cielo Plan 3. It's everything that the cookie-cutter IP floor plans have with the addition of a Den downstairs. That Den is perfect for a small office, kids' playroom, or social area. It's probably my next home as my wife and I both...

    I just went to Aloha Stacks (Woodbury) earlier today. Good meal. I didn't realize this, but it's the exact same as Stacks Pancake House off Culver.

    New communities in Portola Springs

    Construction over at OHV4 looks like it's slowed. Not sure if it's because of the rain and holidays...but not as much activity over the past couple weeks.

    coronavirus

    Cardiac arrest for athletes, while unfortunate, is not anything new. See this 2016 study: https://www.acc.org/latest-in-cardiology/articles/2016/06/28/07/06/sports-participation-and-sudden-cardiac-arrest This is why AED's became required for public schools a few years ago and why many schools...

    COVID-19 Retail Openings and Closures

    I'm told (by Koreans) that the Dumpling House restaurant and Soondae (blood sausage) restaurants are really good chains and their stalls in the new food court should be good too.

    Altair Auction

    I believe there's a reserve price too - where the highest bid has to be above a certain price determined by the seller.

    EMC has closed its Irvine location off Culver Drive. It looks like NEP Cafe (https://www.nepcafe.com/) is coming in as shown by the liquor license transfer notice on the front.

    Irvine Mayor Election

    Who is every one voting for? Probably down to Simon Moon or Katherine Daigle for me. I prefer their conservative agenda over the likes of Farrah Khan and Branda Lin.

    New Listing - Marin Plan 2 detached condo @ Eastwood (78 Meander)

    Things seemed to have picked up over the past 2 weeks or so. I visited a few open houses and multiple claimed they had multiple offers already - and it seemingly checks out as those listings are in escrow now. A couple of listings I've been monitoring that have been on market 45+ days have also...

    Short Vegas trip & report

    I was there 2 weeks ago for a conference. Mon through Weds. I stayed at Aria and visited Caesars and the Wynn. The tables were decently populated at all 3 casinos for early in the week. I hit up Gen Korean BBQ at the Planet Hollywood and the Wynn buffet - both were very good and busy. Outside of...
