Nothing wrong with looking, eh Indie?

What's that they say? "I'm married, not buried!"

I live in Irvine because of the location. I need to be close-ish to northern OC. Otherwise, I'd probably live further south, maybe in Laguna Niguel. I dream of living in Newport Beach someday, but I'd need over $2 million to afford the house I'd want. Not in the budget just yet. :)

I even bought a book published by TIC to leave on my coffee table so my loser friends who come and visit can see how much better I am.
 
After my loser relatives see the coffee table book then talk about my children's rated 10+ schools and 14 seniors got accepted to Cornell. I would take them to 85 Celsius line and tell them even the bakery is better  here. I make sure to put all those freebies TIC village magazines I did not throw away in each bathroom and put a tab on the pages that talked about the safest city in the country. Afterward when we are hungry we go over to the Asian Tapas the best Chinese restaurant in OC rated by OC Weekly to really show them even the menu is printed on heavy glossy card stock and not those flimsy toilet paper like their neighborhood. By now they got to know I am more superior then them and they are just losers living in the circle of hell. I almost forgot, I also need  to show them my Ritz Carlton like California Room, the ceiling fan and sun bathe teak chaise lounges right outside my greatroom and kitchen where I will have all my loser guests gather around me at the kitchen island to watch me do the cooking that I secretly learned from the Costco cookbook that I stayed up all night to practice.  Cost for all of these $1m and the satisfaction of seeing my loser relative envious faces, PRICELESS!

After reading Mr. Pat's post I have to change my strategy to wednesday 11am where everyone is at work and plenty of parking nearby and not a trash day. Then I will need to stall them til the evening to take them outside the CA room so they can't see the real boundary of my yard.
 
This thread is now gold, not gold like the stucco in the attached condos that TIC makes, but the real Gold like Peter Schiff wants you to buy.

You don't need a book, Indie.  How much better you are than those people will speak for itself the first time your guests come to visit.  They will know something special awaits from the moment they park 2 blocks away and make the long walk down the sidewalk to your motorcourt, pausing only to stare befuddled at a sign with house numbers for 12 identical residences situated on either side of the main street.  That special feeling will only build as they take the two steps off the motorcourt asphalt into your foyer, and recognize there are no soaring ceilings in your home.  Nothing smacks of a special kind of luxury like utilizing every single inch of possible square footage.  And finally, as you invite your guests into the backyard for some quiet conversation (don't want the neighbors to hear!), they will know Irvine is the place.  Except if they are over 200 lbs.  No room for that guy in the backyard.

And if they are still not impressed, just flash your mello-roos bill to show how much extra you can afford to pay for the great schools.  Like test says, that mello roos keeps out the "riff raff".  Except for the ones that live in the 25,000 or so IAC units.

I can't over emphasize how much this post makes me smile and giggle. I think I've read it 10x.
