so the o.c. is growing up. every time i go home, there's new stuff. this time i was plesantly surprised to see some nice glass & stucco high rise residential in irvine, and was heartened at the news that the great park proposed for the defunct el toro airbase is a go. it will provide a wilderness corridor between the pacific, laguna canyon, and cleveland national forest in riverside county. definitely going to push property values up. i heard the owners of the pictured cabana on cotton's point in san clemente already are asking $3.7M. can't beat the ocean views, but its kinda breezy in the winter.
