Cambria @ Stonegate Grand Opening on Jan. 26th
- Thread starter usctrojancpa
- Start date
NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program
Start one.
Top 5 reasons Asian guys are awesome:
1) They have really cool hair!
2) You've never seen a homeless Asian man and never will.
3) (^they are smart / ambitious / always have good jobs.)
4) They're very sweet & family-oriented. O.k., that's two.
5) Some of them totally dig "us". <--- rumor sparked by popular Youtube confessionals.
Your future Asian husband sounds really controlling. Maybe you should rethink your pretend future with him?
I have never seen a hot woman on any team in my investment banking days. Throwing in a pretty woman in a room full of desk jockey nerds would be trouble.
If you wanna see pretty gals, pharmaceutical sales reps get my nod!
#5 is pretty true..
the whole "sales" process is about convincing people to buy from you, rather than the next guy. even the male sales team is commonly stocked with 'spokesmodels', and they too are euphemistically referred to as "prostitutes" (or something less printable).
that I made the observation that a white blonde woman was on the sales team that was assembled to appeal to FCB males, for the purpose of attracting their attention, was I think an 'astute observation'
if you think that such observations are too politically incorrect, while the thread has since devolved into racial stereotyping in general (which you are participating in), seems to suggest to me that *you* are the one that has a skewed sense of what is 'decent'
Freedom, I have met you. You are not Asian. Let's let somebody who would actually have a dog in this fight decide if what I wrote is indecent stereotyping. I am not too proud of a person to apologize. (Are you?) So. If any Asian men reading this are upset that I have said in my eyes you are: sweet, cute, smart, and have good values, etc.... come talk to me.
Back to your "joke", your new "astute observation" written above was not at all what you said. You seem a little defensive.
Oh, believe me. I am the last person to have a problem with politically incorrect comments. Like I already said, for example, I didn't raise an issue with women being called defensive airheads compared to their savvy male counterparts. I want people here to be free to say what they want but that means I am also free to express myself, too. I did think it was going a little too far singling out the one specific saleslady at Cambria. She's not here to defend herself. I have been in her shoes. I wouldn't have appreciated someone saying those things about me, making that kind of joke at my expense.
You can post whatever jokes you'd like. Nobody is stopping you. But when you make comments like that on a public forum, you have to be prepared for whatever reaction you may get. It is not the end of the world but it is an off-color remark.
Nope, housing is the boring stuff. It's everything else that's interesting.
for White males?

SoCal said:P.S. I CAN understand a white person wanting to live in Irvine if that person is married to an Asian spouse. (Trace. Love you!) It would make more sense.
I could easily imagine if I had an Asian husband and he insisted we live there. Then whatever he wants is what we would do. I go where he goes. If I couldn't convince him to live in my white world (kidding) then Irvine would be acceptable - not because I believe the homes are a smart buy but for cultural reasons.
My next husband is going to be Asian! So, we'll seeeee!

Was with GS and not one looker on our team. However, in the PE side there are a few... You would think the opposite.

Any news on the Cambria front? Thanks. Can we please keep these posts focused on the issue at hand?
Maybe the two of you can meet and fight about it in the parking lot. I think most of us want to keep it about housing.
Thanks!
I am going against my better judgment mentioning this but I really don't see the difference b/w either of you. Whether good or bad, stereotypes don't help any group of people. We're no longer seen as individuals but a list someone else has made for us and others believe; whether it's true or not. It makes us as small as the homes that we buy in Irvine.

I don't think I would be offended if I were the salesgirl reading the comment. Good looking people sell more than ugly people. Plus there is that TED talk by the model who said being a tall white girl put you in better standings to become a model. (better to sell stuff)

stopped by Cambria. The sales ladies wouldn't tell me how many people were on the waiting list but did mention that there were more people on the waiting list than there were homes to be sold.
The Cambria price point ($500Ks) is what I hear my rental neighbors looking for. Too bad, they are already "sold out." I wonder what will be the next products coming out in the $500ks.

Went to Cambria today on my way back home from Home Depot. I can't believe the HOA is $288 per month. You pay $110 per month to be part of the Stinkgate Community Association (who doesn't do jack about the people that leave out their trash bins until Saturday). Trash day is Wednesday.
Then there is another $178 for the Cambria Neighborhood Association. I wonder what do you get for the $178?
Residence 1 is $521K, 1503 square feet
Residence 2 is $548K, 1554 square feet
Residence 3 is $579K, 1690 square feet (still feels more cramp than San Mateo Residence 2 at 1660 square feet)
Choose from 2 unit (both 2 and 3),
3 unit (2-1-3) , or
4 unit designs (3-2-1-3).
