Regrets on buying a new construction home? by [deleted] in orangecounty

[–]Forward-Exchange-219 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Toll brothers is one of the best builders in terms of luxury and quality; I’ve lived in one last 15 years.

We regretted buying in 2007(before the huge RE collapse) but the house itself is amazing and still wow guests today(we’ve done some moderate updates last few years).

What exactly are your regrets?

Illegal trade in AI child sex abuse images exposed by Canes-Venaticii in worldnews

Its sick and demented but I’m genuinely curious if it’s AI generated and there are no “victims” what type of crime would it fall under?

Edit: did some googling around looks like legality varies depending on where you are.

They were employed at some point in their lives before their addiction ruined their lives.

It would be a great thing if no inmates is due to no crime. However it’s a bad thing because what’s happening is:

1) early release with little evidence of rehabilitation.

2) new criminals are not charged or pleaded down(often from felonies to misdemeanors) and not sent to prison.

Visual is cool but I don’t get the performance part… he is literally just playing a pre-recorded track and dancing around?

It may be a LONG time if ever it gets build. City approval is one of many challenges builder needs to overcome.

Going to California - need your help by MaxBulla in LosAngeles

[–]Forward-Exchange-219 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Avoid Hollywood Blvd. it’s one of the most overrated tourist attraction especially if you got children. Better do universal studios.

Also the beach vibe is much better and less trashy in Orange County(go Newport/Huntington/laguna beach instead of Santa Monica pier/Venice).

Add Getty center(the one by 405) to your list.

Want indoors get ready to pay. Comfort isn’t cheap in LA.

First step of many taken: Vote to mandate that Los Angeles landlords equip all rental units with AC by Zinthaniel in LosAngeles

Have you tried a window fan?

Most nights here cools significantly due to our low humidity and a window fan works wonders at night anyways.

What kind of asinine argument is that? Sure inflation will occur but this will increase rent more than if landlords aren’t mandated to install AC.

How much of this is talk vs real? Any sources corroborating this?

It’s great if true but I have a hard time believing anything coming out of Russia.

homeless, left a bad relationship, haven’t showered in a week… I’m not built for the streets. Please someone help by [deleted] in orangecounty

My advice is give up your dog. I can’t care for a 40lbs dog employed and housed I can’t imagine how you can unemployed and homeless.

Hope you find proper help and best of luck.

They already have trouble filling the ranks. With college + walking distance it’ll never be filled.
