    It has relatively cheap real estate for all the trouble they seem to be going through to maintain “standards”. For example this house in any given Blue state would be 1.5M+ https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/604-S-Durango-Cir_Irving_TX_75062_M81329-18653?from=srp-list-card

    Edit bc I looked at the wrong place 🤪

    Seems rankings of Irvine CA are okay, but top 30 isn’t exactly that interesting a place in CA, https://www.niche.com/places-to-live/search/best-places-to-live/s/california/. Median home value is 1.1M+ for Irvine in CA, compared to Solana Beach (ranked at 57 overall in CA) which has a median home value of 1.6M+. The fuss over Irvine being a good place to live seems arbitrary and cultural, and not based on any merit per my estimation. OC seems like a pretty generic and bland beach place to live relative to San Diego etc.

      You’ve misspelled.

      It’s “Irvine” and I’m assuming Irvine, CA.

      You searched “Irving”

        I think the rest of the thread mentions TX

        Edit I am wrong!
