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.

-> 5 years ago this was true, however there are MANY commercial properties and now apartment units NOT in the Irvine Company sphere of influence. This includes multiple projects along Jamboree Blvd and former Tustin MCAS located residential and commercial. Irvine Company has NO say or influence on any of those projects. There are also shopping centers in Irvine (Culver/Walnut where the Ralphs is located) that are *NOT* Irvine Company owned. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.4.228.58 (talk) 09:09, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Father and Son
The article has links to James Irvine I (who bought the ranch), and to his son, James Irvine II (who incorporated the company). The link to the son was red, and that to the father pointed to James Irvine (landowner). However, that article is about the son. I've switched it so that the father link now goes to the James Irvine disambiguation page, and the son link goes to the correct article. Rojomoke (talk) 19:47, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
