Orange County was once something of a conservative bastion. That may or may not still be the case, but it’s more so than areas to the north.
It’s still conservative, especially in the south OC. But people like me are retiring, cashing out on the equity (about $400k), and moving to another state.
The people who will buy my home likely won’t be as conservative as me. In Irvine, chances are the next buyers will be Asian immigrants.
