[edit] Secondary sources (to demonstrate notability)
Postsuburban California: The Transformation of Orange County since World War II (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1995), includes a chapter by Martin J. Schiesl titled "Designing the Model Community: The Irvine Company and Suburban Development, 1950-88."
[edit] Monopoly on Rental Properties
The Irvine company has a monopoly-hold on the rental properties in Irvine and much of the rest of Tustin and Newport Beach. As a result, it is impossible to find affordable rental housing in the City of Irvine. What's more, residents are faced with across-the-board rate increases each year above the actual value of housing in the area. Residents cannot find relief through competition. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.4.70.65 (talk • contribs)
This also extends greatly to commerical retail properties. Although this hold is lessening as the former Tustin and El Toro MCAS redevelopment programs have basically excluded Irvine Company development. All development is by other developers this includes retail, residential and residential apartments.
