Review of Irvine, California


All
Star Rating - 12/29/2007
Climate-Great

Crime- Just as worse as Long beach or Compton-Check the Irvine Police Log. And the Cops are lazy. The L.A. Police Department work harder and get paid less. The Officers in Irvine give out tinted window tickect and J-walking tickets and mostly parking tickets.

Culture and Recreation-fair

Economy- To be honest bad for everyone, worse for minorities.

Education-Broad opportunities for everyone but, I don't think certain individuals are being compensated fairly for thier experience and education.

Health- A lot of the white peolple look old for thier age, but they exercise a lot. Most Japanese and Vietnamese look old also. Blacks skin hold well. Environmentally the air polution is fairm but the Eater department need to take a good look at the harsh chemicals they are using in our water.

Housing- There are a lot affordable housing, but the waiting list is very long. Trying to buy a house forget it. 7-10 familes have lost thier new home on Barrance and Harvard to the Santa Clara Apt homes. The rent has sky rocketed since 2000. what a 2bedroom used to cost you now pay for in a 1 bedroom.

Politics- there is not enough space or time for me to elaborate on this corrupted, deceptive and manipulative subject.

Quality of life- it would be great if you did not have to work so hard to live in a decent nieghborhood.

Recreation-Depending on what you like to do, L.A is the beat (Kodak Theatre) (Univeral Studios) etc.... Irvine is pretty serene.

Religion-Your preference. Be carful what churches you go too. Some are not met for everyone even if you share the same faith. I find home a wonderful Sanctuary.

Transportation- I think if some people want a 8-5 job they should apply elsewhere. Some of the buses stop too early. And some do not run frequent enough.
