Good feng shui location theory is to avoid a location like a bottom of a wok where the temperature is the hottest. The Irvine Valley with surrounding hills on both sides restrict prevailing breeze and air flow.

Is PS in Irvine considered the bottom of the wok? You would think that is the top with the other side of the wok, Turtle Rock and everything inside it, the food..eg. Westpark, Northwood, Oak Creek, etc.</blockquote>
Does not matter where you are inside the concavity of the wok you will be eventully stir fried. It is better to be on the side than the bottom with the most intense heat and hot gravy (flood). The better place is the rim of the wok where there are fresh air and prevailing breeze. With modern civil engineering and the amazing Mountain to Sea trail the flood issue goes away. The philosophy existed several thousand of years for practical site locations before flood channels and air conditioning.</blockquote>
Yes, confucious says, "better to build your home on high side of wok, since wok is made of high carbon steel. However, since one's home is likely built on soil and not steel, building ones home on a cliff could result in losing home in a landside and ancient chiness BS doesn't really apply".
Do me a favor, publish your real name and the firm you were laid off from so I never hire you to do a land plan. You're worse than the consultants that push LEED certification.</blockquote>
