I think will take the popcorn out at this point because this stuff is unreal. No, my home is not on the market. As a matter of fact, I have owned it for a long time and think I will just rent it out when I move away from this area.

You arrived your conclusion totally devoid of evidence? I should not be surprised.

Geez, why do I even waste my time?

Soka says they are a mile from the beach. Frankly, I don't really care.

About Soka Overview - About Soka - Soka University of America
Soka University is a private, non-profit, four-year liberal arts college and graduate school located on 103-acres in south Orange County, California in the City of Aliso Viejo. SUA is just one mile from the beach (if you are a bird – seven miles driving) and located in the heart of Southern California’s abundance of cultural, educational, sporting and adventure opportunities.

Okay, so I'm not a bird. Big deal.

The R4 Mello-Roos are set to expire but the homes around the golf course have R1 Mello-Roos as well and they are eye watering! The property at 34 Rincon Way you mentioned in another post has R1 Mello-Roos of $5,875.52/year plus the R4 of $897.67. Total taxes on that property for 2013 were $15,453.

Very high, and that one I knew about, but obviously the people who bought there have the cash and knew what they are getting into. The Mello-Roos does expire and the situation is temporary.

That situation is also atypical for Aliso Viejo, even though some people cite the extremely high Glenwood MR as a reason for not buying in AV; assuming that all homes in this city have similar fees.

The reality is that some AV homes have Mello-Roos of $0.0 and others, of course, are higher. Again, Glenwood is a rare bird.

BTW, the Glenwod house is competitively priced since similar homes are listed at about $1,370,000 in Laguna Niguel. Buyers for the LN homes are permanently stuck with a jaw-dropping combination of both a much higher mortgage and much higher property taxes. They don't expire.

From the source listed below discussing housing for homeless and mentally ill people:

COMMUNITY RESPONSE People at the meeting, many of whom live in Laguna Canyon, generally supported the idea of the housing complex but believe the proposed site to be problematic.

I think the best place to place this homeless housing, which is without a doubt a lovely idea, is in Rancho Santa Margarita, better yet, the IE
You forgot to add a trailer park, day laborer center and a food pantry, this area is the lower working class hood of Laguna.

That would be a hard no on Laguna Canyon. The low lying Laguna Canyon homes flood with any amt of rain, the noise and traffic are a nightmare. The roads are dangerous, with an average of 3-4 people killed a year just trying to pull out onto LC road. This does not include cyclist and pedestrian fatalities. There is an overcrowded homeless shelter and a addiction meeting center there. The drug culture is a prominent part of its history and a lot of residents who can’t seem to let go of those “good old days”. Run, don’t walk away!
