They should put it somewhere in Tustin Legacy, that was a former military base too.
No worries.. it will go inside the hangar. blocks the bad feng shui from coming out.
There are plenty of ways to pay tribute to our veterans. Having them buried next to our home and where our kids go to school is not one of them.
1. Riverside veterans cemetery is currently the busiest in the country, handling 8000 burials each year. That's almost 22 every day 365 days a year. If the cemetery is established in Irvine, it's projected to be even busier. (LA Times) I can't imagine what this will do to the traffic on Irvine Blvd.
2. There are lots of research and articles on how cemeteries are killing the living through the dead, caused by pollution from chemicals, like embalming fluid that seeps into the ground. I don't want to leave to chance this won't happen here.
3. Having to pass by the cemetery on the way to the high school every day is off-putting to say the least. But, the thought of having my teenager go to school where there's full view of a cemetery is even more disturbing. These are still young kids who are not fully mature in their thought process. Who knows what they'll think or do.
4. It will turnoff certain buyers and drive down property value. This includes if you intend to rent your property out. This affects properties in Irvine disproportionally due to the buyer mix.
Having a cemetery in the middle of a busy city surrounded a huge resident population is simply not a good idea. I haven't heard any good argument for having the cemetery located here other than sentimental reasons and it's unpatriotic to ever say no to the veterans.
We have had all these discussion points before. The arguments boils down to honoring former soldiers vs. potential market value impact/fear of the dead. To me, it's a wash so I don't really support or are against it.

I am warming up to the idea of having a Veterans cemetery in the Great Park. what a great way to teach my children about being patriotic and the sacrifices of our military service men and women. I will bring all my Chinese friends with me to the town hall meeting to show support for our veterans.
