    Orchard Hills 4 - "The Summit" Updates

    Finally, we have a builder other than IP (in this case CalPac) who also explicitly disclosed! Importantly, Danimal bought in 2009, which isn't that recent, indicating explicit disclosure is not limited to recently. I also bought CalPac (recently), but our sales office never explicitly disclosed...

    . Ok, Sleepy bought with IP and they did not tell him. So there's an exception with IP! Apparently IP is not consistent with that.

    Orchard Hills 4 - "The Summit" Updates

    I think it's smart. IP understands that people don't give a rat's butt what you tell them. They want Irvine, they want IP, and they are going to buy no matter what. The secondary benefit is that buyers will be able to compare their IP experience with other people's stories with other...

    Orchard Hills 4 - "The Summit" Updates

    So it seems that everyone who reported their salespeople explicitly went through disclosures with them bought from IP? Is that true? Is there an exception here? If so, please let us know.

    Orchard Hills 4 - "The Summit" Updates

    But that's exactly what they did. I wonder if different builders do it differently. I wonder if IP decided to preempt any brushback. Maybe it was a seller's market coming out of COVID in the second half of 2020, and IP just decided what the hell take it or leave it. Perhaps it's a recent shift...

    Thanks for a great thread, Ratchet! Lots of emotion here and lots of activity. Reminds me of the 2020 presidential election.

    Orchard Hills 4 - "The Summit" Updates

    CalBears96, you know I back you up whenever possible. But here, I don't see the controversy in what sleepy5136 has said. We bought new construction houses in Foothill Ranch and Irvine, and neither sales office volunteered anything to us verbally about anything. I also like to spend my free...

    Orchard Hills 4 - "The Summit" Updates

    I just did a quick search on landfill risks to health, and concerns include just about everything, even if they don't burn the garbage.

    Orchard Hills 4 - "The Summit" Updates

    Not sure, because I've forgotten what I learned about the landfill chemicals from 3 years ago (I focused more on wind direction in the end), about how the garbage is stored, treated, and/or processed. But I can talk about another sore subject for which I have done a bunch of research, and that...

    Not even the cancer part? Still doesn't compute? AAA is a concern but landfill isn't? Umm, ok.

    I've never met anyone who could smell COVID or cancer or evil.

    Orchard Hills 4 - "The Summit" Updates

    Except I have done what no one else here has done. I tracked wind direction not daily but virtually almost hourly for a few months and found that the wind almost never moves toward the south and even more rarely toward the south east, which means the safest places in PS include PS3, PS5, and...

    What about the proximity to the landfill?

    I'm not sure but I heard the secret priority list is kept at Frank R. Bowerman Landfill right next door.

    Orchard Hills 4 - "The Summit" Updates

    Ratchet, you should be relieved that they haven't started building, because if they had started building during this market, it could only mean the builder was Lennar, which would be a very very bad thing (and I mean on the same level as KB Home bad). In fact, if the builder were Lennar, they'd...

    For sure things are picking up. Our community has a few resale homes open houses, and traffic was heavy this weekend.
