Irvine

The city of Irvine is owned and run by the greedy Irvine Company, one of the richest and most powerful real estate developers in the nation. It is all about money. There are NO environmentalists in charge. The voices of the city council all reflect Irvine Company policy because you cannot get elected without their support. Hills and natural lands being bulldozed now at record speed, in the top ten for new home starts in the nation right now. That is Irvine. They are now developing high density apartment complexes in addition to the miles of tract homes going in. The commercial building going on has got to be seen to be believed and yet that will be slowing because of the revenue that residential property taxes generate and will generate in the future if Irvine Company lobbying in Sacramento is successful in removing our Prop. 13 protections. When concerns about power and water are brought up, their answer is "There will be enough." Well, tell that to people dealing with rolling blackouts or the years of drought we've had.
