Ted, I just think the study makes the incorrect assumption that only people living in a given area will buy the homes there. In the case of Santa Ana, obviously most of the residents there can't afford any of the new homes being built there, but there are plenty of people all over Orange County who can. Classic case of gentrification, which the study incorrectly assumes is an "overvalued" real estate market. Tenchusatsu

The OC is just a collection of exurbs of LA. It has no identity of it's own. It's home to some of the most sterile, lifeless "planned communities" I've ever seen. But it IS very clean, in a "Stepford" kind of way. My father was an ad executive and was offered a job promoting Irvine when it was nothing. He'd have had to move there, and they sent him a bound glossy prospectus, "New Worlds of Irvine" that I remeber checking out as a child. I'm really glad he didn't make that move!
