Why is Baby Irvine promoting JC and not Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill? My guesses:
1. Too late. That area's been growing/trendy/up-and-coming for a long time. (I know lots of people who've moved there.)
2. Not enough Asians are moving in, and the demographics are not exactly like Irvine in 1994 or whatever magical year.
3. And most importantly, Baby Irvine has not moved there and is not trying to build up his real estate empire there.
Bing go. Why did he even start this thread? to help promoting his real estate business and convince himself he made the right decision leaving Irvine.
I don't think he's necessarily looking for clients, but to drum up interest/hype in John's Creek. Not just among us, but for anyone who's googling Irvine and happens to find this forum.
I do think you are right, though, in that this is partly a justification thread. Something that I think is fascinating--but also a wee bit condescending--is that when the most gung-ho Irvine cheerleaders decide to settle elsewhere, they feel the need to enlighten everyone else about their new home and why it is so much better than Irvine. We've seen this a number of times on the forums.
Panda is absolutely harmless. He is a kind & gentle soul.
Irvinecommuter, by any chance, have you taken a test for high sensitivity? I have picked up on it through your posts online over the months. I am actually a sensitive person myself (caffeine reaction, noises, I can detect subtle scents, etc.) so I relate to a lot of the things on the check-list. Take a look and see if this helps.http://www.hsperson.com/pages/test.htmWhenever I think someone might be saying something to me in a certain tone, I try to give them the benefit of the doubt. I say to myself, "SoCal, this is you being too sensitive. Don't jump to conclusions." Sometimes their motives are not what we think they are or may be for another reason. It is human nature to expect the worst. Give Panda a chance and I swear you would see what I see. You just got to put your guard down first. No need to be defensive. He is not here to hurt anybody. He doesn't bite. He is a friendly Panda.
Thanks for the concerns. I'm not all that "sensitive" but I don't like people thinking that they're better. I get what you are saying about Panda...it's always to good to learn. I already talked about how I have nothing against Panda. I just object to his use of broad strokes in painting Irvine and its residences and glossing over details when talking about JC. It's a classic sales jobs.
I agree that he's fundamentally a kind person. Disagree with everything else here.

John Creek will not become Irvine for one reason. The local developer does not know how to manipulate supply and demand to jack up home prices exponentially.

That area has been growing pretty rapidly from the 1980s to today, and is a major engineering hub with many jobs in those fields.
Irvinecommuter said:Baby Irvine said:Irvinecommuter and IHO,
This picture below reinforces what nosuchreality said. LA/OC 's population grew 463k 3.7% from 2000 -2010 while Atlanta population grew over a million 24% increase in the same time period. This is reason why I uprooted my family from Chicago and moved to Atlanta to build my real estate career here. This is the reason why median home prices on the north east part of Johns Creek have jumped 20% since last year.
Open your eyes guys! 8)
As an investor, you need 3x the capital to play in Irvine. In Irvine, with 20% down you are negative cash flow, even at 30% down you are in the negative territory. In Suwanee, GA you are positive cash flow by 18% cash on cash return with today's 30 year mortgage rates with 20% down. This is one way you can tell if real estate is undervalued or over valued.
Irvinecommuter said:
What am I looking at? There is a saturation point at which you can have more people...I mean it's pretty hard to sustain 20+% growth with an established metropolitan area like LA...I mean NY only went up 3.1%...is it going downhill? People should start selling their Manhattan properties because the end is coming. Seriously, it's not different than the GDP analysis. China, India, and Brazil all experienced double digit growth in GDP while the US are between 3-6 even in good times...it doesn't meant that 1) the US is now terrible and 2) that I should move to China, India or Brazil.
I mean, based upon that chart I should moved to Vegas. I mean 42% growth!
See...that's the other issue. I am not an investor in RE. I don't want to be an investor in RE. I just want to get a nice house in a nice area, pay it off, and save up for my retirement. If I was an investor in RE, I would go buy in the IE, Vegas, the Central Valley, all of which would net me a lot of money in the future without me having to fly cross-country. Or I can invest in funds/companies that are in the business of RE investment and not have to worry about the properties themselves.

I don't think Panda is really trying to drum up business for his real estate endeavors.
I doubt the readership here is really full of any potential clients.
It's more of a justification thread which is fine because I do think some of us asked him to do so. I like to see what he posts but I also like to see what he doesn't post because that also answers some questions.
But that's also why John's Creek finds its way into Irvine threads... because it's the inside joke that JC is the next Irvine, whether you believe it or not.

Aww, poor Baby Irvine. 
He hasn't even posted in 3 weeks but still getting knocked. I can't help but feel bad for him. Personally, I don't mind if he speaks condescendingly to me - he's earned the right to. Condescending means you're speaking from a superior place. Baby Irvine's new digs are a superior value, superior opportunity, and by far, aesthetically superior compared to my house, where I live, and the surrounding areas. I don't know about you all but I can fully and readily admit that, no problem. He also has superior knowledge and superior expertise that I only wish I had 1/10th of. He has got more going for himself than I do and probably ever will, no problem here admitting that. He just wants to share with his E-friends and give us some worthwhile info. Why can't we be nice to him? He's been our E-friend a long time, way before he was fully in the biz. We know by now the guy seriously has a heart of gold. Panda, I hope all your dreams come true!

Color me a supporter of Baby Irvine,
The world would not be as great a place without Panda, and I hope to hear that James comes back sooner rather than later.
I wish him the best in his adventures in real estate in JC, and I love to hear the stories from afar.

I also want Panda to do well... so he can cash out, buy a house in Shady and give me a tour of his mansion... maybe hire me to wash his Tesla.

Olde Taylor Farm and Tavistock are quite impressive. The pedigree of architecture is outstanding. Mature trees and lush Vegetations compliment both enclaves. Quality of life is attainable with a modest price point. Good size property, spacious home, and scenic surrounding are mostly extinct in California. Qualty of life is also very subjective. Some may choose better weather or proximity to relative over the physical attributes of a home.

No John's Creek, but Alpharetta is getting a lot of promotion among Indian community...
http://www.nripulse.com/a-passage-to-alphapuram/
?Indian families like brand new houses, rather than buying a used home. Since most new home constructions were in the GA-400 corridor, it was natural for Indian Americans to relocate to the Alpharetta area,? observes Dr. L.S. Narsi Narasimhan, Co-Founder and CEO, Paalam, Inc. He believes that the economic growth of the Indian Americans over the years is reflective of this shift. ?Indian Americans have become more affluent over the past 20 plus years. Thus, they favor more and more the affluent neighborhoods of GA-400 corridor over the older neighborhoods of DeKalb. GA-400 corridor is the home of most high-tech companies like HP and IBM. Most high paying jobs are along the GA-400 corridor,? says Dr Narasimhan.
