    To me, one of the most important assets to living in Irvine is SNA. A wonderful regional airport and I rarely have to use LAX. Win-Win! And year-round warm weather? Yes, yes please.

    Thing I like about Irvine: Weather and safety. Things I dislike: everyone is over competitive and antisocial. Great for introverts tho.

      What makes Irvine different from Germany is that there's lack of public transportation and you need a car to go everywhere in Irvine

    Lack of significant public transportation is a con in Irvine, you need a car to go everywhere in Irvine, not for anyone who doesn't drive their own car, the Metrolink doesn't have any stops in Irvine either but if you have your own reliable transportation then Irvine CA is fine

    • @simplyliving540
      @simplyliving540 2 роки тому

      Cookie Cutter means that because of the various HOA and building requirements, many newer homes are designed very similarly and don't have much unique design to them. Areas like Lake Forest and Mission Viejo have a lot more different home styles and a variety of newer and older style homes

    Used to live in Tustin for many years in the 90s. Was never able to afford living in Irvine. Irvine is a good place to retire for elders. Lots of mixed people with different ethnicity and backgrounds. For me, it's the warm weather and closed by beaches and grocery stores. There's a good % of Asian Stores and Restaurants nearby.

    Downsides?

    2. Housing is insanely high in price
    3. Everything is overpriced
    4. Traffic on the 5 is stupidly packed with a ton of shitty drivers
    5. With crime being so low, cops will ticket you for the stupidest things
    Upsides?
    1. Good weather
    2. Variety of food options
    3. Beaches
    4. Spectrum shopping center
    5. Great delivery times and internet choices
    6. A ton of charging stations for EVs
    7. Many business centers for job opportunities
