Review of Irvine, California


Done after 10 + years
Star Rating - 11/6/2016
Thank you baby Jesus for the housing market stabilizing! I'm sure Irvine was a great city 10-30 years ago. I can only imagine what it was like before the multi cultural burst that seems never ending. Don't get me wrong, I went to UCI so I am very familiar with the multi cultural dynamic of the city, but this place is just out of control. Anyone look at airbnb lately for Irvine? I feel like I'm literally living in a motel like environment with all the listings for Irvine on airbnb. Supposedly city council is going to make a decision about it but look at what they did with the political signs. They adopted a new rule/regulation and yet the streets are covered with signage. I had family visit us from out of town and they even commented "what is going on with all the political signs"? Such a waste of money, paper, and resources.

Driving here; make sure you drive below the speed limit because it isn't safe to walk or drive with the lack of driver skill in this city. I was hit (obviously his fault) I had to chase him down to get him to pull over and once I did, he asked me to not call the police because he's leaving to go back to China after school. -no comment.

The Asian/middle eastern population are like chain smokers. I can't open my windows because all I smell is smoke part of the day/evening.

Done. Gl bc this city is going in a different direction than I thought it would ever get to. Build another apartment please lol
