Let's assume SVUSD causes property values to drop $50,000/home vs. IUSD.
So Lennar is building 10,000 more homes in the Great Park.
10,000 X $50,000 = $500,000,000 (seems inflated, but we'll go with it)

$500,000,000 X 0.01 property tax = $5,000,000/year
Is Irvine going to give up $5 million per year in property taxes?

Depends on who u ask. If you are a biased SG owner then u say. What's $5m to irvine/Donald Bren?  He poops that out after breakfast each day.

If it was up to TIC, $5M a year would be off balanced by the increase in property values in places like OH, SG, CV, WB, and PS.

FYI, I believe property taxes are pooled to the State level and redistributed (correct me if I am wrong).  OC has one of the lowest yield/return from redistribution in California.  It's WAY LESS then $5 million.  Not even close to half so Irvine isn't losing that much for not having to deal with the big headache.

If they don't build the HS in time.. can they cut my MRs in half?  I would be happy with that.  ;)
Ask Columbus Square if their MRs have been reduced.

Their school got repurposed for adult education temporarily.
 
Best way to handle this is to keep their proposed HS boundaries... maybe make the 5th school SBUSD.. then all the GP and SG kids will go there.

looks like people who bought in PP are kicking themselves now - toxic land, SVUSD.., high mello roos for the ballon park...lol

HAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA.. THEY SEE ME TROLLIN!  kudos.

No.. I love PP.  Not that other communities in Irvine are bad.. they are all pretty nice to me.  Just wanted a driveway and decent sized backyard.  Either way, our kids will go to good schools.  Not going to stress like a high strung Irvine parent.  I'll let this political battle play out.

Don't stress--Homie's nanny can always buy you out with an all cash offer if things don't work out.  ;D
 
His Nanny and my gardener don't see eye to eye.  Not sure if it would work out.  The used to do business together.  He wanted to invest in Yahoo.. she wanted Google.  Well.. you know the rest.

Gardener? Don't lie to the people. You live in Irvine... there is no yard.
That reminds me of this:

They were probably thisclose to saying "ocean views" and "steps from the beach".
 
I wonder what OH is going to say.  Enjoy the great views (of your neighbors wall) from the hills of Orchard.
 
I came across this facebook post:

For those of you that want to have an input in choosing location for the 5th high school:

If PP gets zoned to SVUSD , does anyone know when will the decision be made? Are there any dates/deadline or the discussion can go on for months??
 
Right now they just granted the conversation to start. Have not set any dates to vote yet. Still would need a response from five points. 
 
In the Irvine World News this morning, there were comments about this printed and one was so hilarious that I had to share (sorry... couldn't find an online link).

I'm paraphrasing but it was something like "My kid is going to be bullied by their peers because they can't go to Uni High and so they won't hang out with them anymore"... from a Ms. Yang that lives in Laguna Altura.

Seriously? Bullied? Because you're not a cool Uni kid?

If Ms. Yang is a TI member, I apologize but that was really funny.
