Because there aren't enough homes in Irvine..
 

Irvine told to accommodate 35,000 homes in 7 years.

Maybe they should focus on affordable homes instead. :rolleyes:

Wonder what the "carbon footprint" of that is?

That's why they are talking about tearing down Wild Rivers now that there lease is up (and the campground next to it). The Amplitheater could be next when the lease is up.

Irvine Shmirvine. Los Feliz has a House of Pies.

From the article

Where will these people work? That doesn't seem to matter, so long as the developers keep funding the campaigns...

There is already a HUGE crush of traffic getting into Irvine (and surrounding areas) in the morning - work is not a problem.

I swear about a dozen new office and technology business parks have sprouted in Irvine in the 9 months since we left. And the great park is well under way. There's employment to be had.

By "low income" do they mean under $1,000,000? Or is that completely unrealistic? How about in the low $700,000s? Too low?

I love living in the OC but we really have no such thing as low income here anymore. If you want low income, move outta state. Affordable no longer lives here.

Kevy -

Even "low income housing" is still unaffordable. Low income rent in some of the IAC communities is still $1100 a month.
