How important is home ownership?

[Irvine2Irvine]

Congrats, OKkid...can I ask what area you bought in?

Thanks JC. I purchased in Corona. I work in Irvine, but the drive isn't that bad; I live a mile away from the toll road and I telecommute 1 day a week. It's a lot better than my commute from South OC. After 3 years of literally sitting on the 5 and 405, the toll road is a pleasure.

you can also take the Metrolink from Corona to Irvine station.  One BIG advantage for some people are that they have a built in excuse not to work late.
