What will happen to communities like Woodbridge and University Park one they become so outdated no one will want to live there? Get torn down and rebuilt? Is this the fate for the new communities getting built now? What will Irvine Co. build once they build on all their land? Build on their land reserves/parks?
 
Hey, stop creating new threads and stop asking questions that have already been answered. Do a search and read through all the information that's been posted many times over.



Also, one question mark will do. Two is permissible but discouraged.
 
I'll answer the questions out of boredom:



1. People will always want to live in Irvine, people still live in the oldest villages of Irvine.

2. How do you propose tearing down and rebuilding entire communities?

3. If you can answer #2, you can answer your "fate" question.

4. They probably won't be done building for many years... there is still the Great Park that can probably take 20 years at their current pace.

5. They'll just incorporate more land... since I've been living in Irvine... it's residential landspace has increased multiple times.



I think these are things you will probably not need to worry about in your lifetime.

THE only way to turn Irvine into a ghost town, then into another OC slum would be to turn all the teachers into zombies and then demolish each and every school. Then setup snipers to shoot any asian or white that tries to rebuild.

No, they will not be torn down and rebuild for many decades, unless if there's some natural disaster or redevelopment. Neighborhoods closer to the freeway will probably suffer demographic flight/shift and reduction in value over time (see: Mission Viejo and Lake Forest). However, housing near universities will retain demand from staff/student population. I have yet to see a UC or CSU close or move, and most have increasing student population over time.

Wouldn't the zombie teachers already be drawn to proportionately larger brains of the asian and white students therefore keeping their population down. Hence, we could relocate the snipers to santa ana and costa mesa.

If the citizens of irvine can't get mobile homeparks torn down at the height of the real estate bubble, what makes you think that there's even a question of whole subdivisions being rebuilt.
 
Is it true that University Park is only leased land and it goes back to the Irvine Company after 99 years?



(sorry even though I'm not a newbie I don't feel like using the search button)
 
Calling BK, I can't find another one of your posts and it's semi-related. I recall a posting that you did in which you talked about expected life of the construction components used. Can you shed light on the various Irvine Villages and the changes in components on how that changes useful life/rehab timeline.(Note it may already be in the other note).



As I recall, in the note I remember, you were talking about expected life of the older craftman based work like in Floral Park and other communities pre-40s and later era construction items roughly grouped by decade. With the current construction method using brackets and techniques with a useful life in the 50 year range (or 90 year range). I don't remember. But I think a expected life on components joining studs etc. having significantly shorter life not to mention the other items. Help appreciate from anbody else remembering BK's post.

There's some good info in <a href="http://www.irvinehousingblog.com/forums/viewthread/346/P0/">this thread</a>, authored by some cranky guy. ;)

Well, that does it for me.



If you're too lazy to respect our request for using the search button then we're simply too lazy to provide you with the information. Hyen, I suggest you cut out the clowning around. Last chance... next time you tread on us, our bouncers, No_Vas, SW, and Graph are going to get ahold of you with my support.

hyen10,



You need to understand that many of these questions have been answered a dozen times or more in these forums. There comes a point when people tire of answering the same questions, particularly when the question is so broad, and it has been covered in so much detail on other threads.



This is the way it is supposed to work.



(1) If you have a general questions, use the search button, and find the threads where the topic is covered. Read through the thread to get the basic information on the subject.



(2) Then, if you have specific questions that are not answered in the thread, ask your question on that thread. This adds to the knowledge base contained on the existing thread and helps those who follow later.



Look at these forums as a library. If you go to a library, the librarian will direct you to a book so you can read for yourself. Librarians are not going to read it for you.
