My dad was in advertising and almost went to work for that guy in Irvine. I remember him getting these promotional books, like big coffee table books, "New Worlds of Irvine" with drawings of the planned community. After growing up and moving to Oceanside, I think Irvine is one of the most sterile, uptight and thoroughly honky communities I've ever seen. Not one drop of funk to it. The hired help and menials must have to commute in to the place. The place is so clean, it makes you feel dirty. It's a real life Stepford. irvinehousingblog.com But maybe the housing crash is injecting some funk there? What constitutes a "distressed" property in Irvine? Does even ONE house in Irvine have plywood windows? I doubt it.
