Water will be shared, all other systems will be stand alone. We have also secured a parking space.
A city permit will be required at each step during construction. Real estate construction is done by a variety of contractors and the market prices vary, so we always recommend consulting with someone experienced in this field. If you would like to discuss this in more detail, please contact us.

Illegal building should definitely stop. To begin with, building codes, Title 24 in CA, are written based on minimum standards for people's safety and should be followed.
Broadly speaking, safety, especially earthquake resistance and fire prevention, are the two main standards, and in CA, energy conservation is added to the list, with water saving, energy saving, and high airtightness.

ADU is a very powerful （ housing solution ） CA state law, so it can be used to override minor city ordinances, setbacks, etc.
The simple explanation is that it basically allows two houses to be built on a lot where only one could be built before.
To be more precise, you can now use SB-9 to split a lot in two and have one house
1+1(ADU) + 1 (JADU) x 2 = maximum 4 families plus ＋ 2 people can live in it.

Along the coast such as Newport Beach and other waterfronts or near them, you can easily sell it for MILLIONS or rent it for a higher room price, which is delicious.

Some American customers want to build ADUs as a stable income for their retirement.
It's one of the deepest and very good real estate investments if you dig it out.

Some Japanese people want to travel both ways between Japan and the U.S., but are worried if no one lives in the house, so they build an ADU and have people live there so it doesn't look vacant.
In Irvine, it's like $4,000 a month house rent, so building an ADU would help a lot financially.
If you already own a home, I highly recommend that you consider it as a way to supplement your stable income in retirement.


But it will take some money and time, so you should understand that as well.

As I mentioned in 22, the housing standards specify basic safety standards.
Meki's garage is not a good idea because it doesn't meet safety standards, it should have a bathroom at the very least, and it is either ignorant or a jerk to not build it according to the code ？

To turn a blind eye to the fact that he lives in a garage is, in a sense, to turn a blind eye to the abuse. ？
If it's near your house, you should report it because it's a bad environment.

In ADU, you can legalize your garage and turn it into a JADU.

Mr. Gomapin
We are considering an ADU for guest use. 　My engineer/designer tells me that our home will likely require Soil Test due to city codes. We are considering a prefab like BOXABL to make the cost as predictable as possible, but I still think the Soil Test will be necessary ？.

Regardless of the ADU, I don't think a Soil Report is usually required for a 500 SF addition on a single story building. You should ask the engineer carefully.
Wherever the city is, or where there are a lot of ups and downs, they may be more likely to require it.Soil is 4 ～ I think it's around $5,000. Not cheap, but it is one of the necessary expenses.

How many times have you been attacked with a pistol in your many years of living in LA, Showa Oyaji-san? ？ If a Japanese person is suddenly attacked with a pistol as in the LA scandal, it would be news in Japan, but such incidents only happen about once every 10 years. Most of them are caused by problematic behavior on the part of the victim, such as foreign students walking around in the middle of the night. In fact, the crime rate in LA is going down every year.

＞ How many times have you been attacked with a pistol in your many years of living in LA, Showa Father ？

Fortunately I have not had that experience, but three people I know have.
One was attacked as he was getting out of his car in a parking lot, but he escaped by giving the attacker money as he demanded. Another was shot from another car while driving. This was probably more of a prank than a robbery, but dangerous enough. Another was shot and killed as he was getting into his car with the proceeds from a store closing. He probably resisted.

There were more Japanese people running Ricker stores then than there are now, and a good number of them had a good deal of experience being held at pistolpoint in the course of their work. It was probably around this time that two Japanese students were shot in the Ralphs parking lot in San Pedro.

That's a good thing.
But "rate" is a crook. It's used in a convenient way.

If there is 1 criminal in every 100 people, that's 1%; if there are 1,000 in every 100,000, that's 1%; if there are 1,000 in every 100,000, that's 1%.
The crime rate when it was policed meticulously and the crime rate in recent times when minor crimes are overlooked.
Crime rate during a period of high violent crime and a period of increased fraud and other crimes.

Claim by immigrants that the number of foreigners living in Japan has increased but the crime rate has not.
They do not mention that the number of crimes has increased.

Have you ever had "homesickness （ homesickness ）" when you first arrived here from Japan?

I did. My first time in the U.S. was in the City of New York, where I stayed at the apartment of an older colleague who had come before me. Naturally, I could speak Japanese 24 hours a day, so I felt totally at ease, but I could not stay there for long, so I asked him to choose a suitable rental room from the Rent Room section in the Classified Section of the New York Times or some other local newspaper, and I called him and asked him to show me the room.

Iolani, you were in the news.
My child also started at Iolani from Kinder and now attends the middle school.
Various students are coming from the middle school, and some of them have surprising language and attitudes that my child is surprised.
As a result, it is the parents' responsibility, but my child feels that there are students who have no morals in the school.
In fact, the school's popularity seems to be declining, and the ratio of students who enter is decreasing year by year.
My child's friendships have continued from Kinder, so she is not thinking about changing schools, but I am concerned.
Especially since the school has students with such poor morals that they are in the news. As a parent, I am worried.
I work at a tutoring center
The "serious Iolani" students are changing in quality these days. I have the impression that Punahou has a stricter school discipline and the students are more solid.
If Iolani banned all devices such as cell phones, Apple watches, tablets, etc. in the school, students would be able to communicate with each other, play physically, and
grow up healthy both mentally and physically. This is a very unfortunate incident.

Dear Mr. News
Thank you for your prompt reply.
I understand that there are various types of students depending on the grade level from which they entered the school, such as from kinder, middle, and so on. I think it is common all over the world, including Japan and the U.S., that some students have serious problems even at the top level schools, but I am a little concerned to hear that Iolani's school culture is changing somewhat. What will happen now? Thank you very much for sharing your valuable story with us.

I have a child in second grade at Iolani and first grade at Punahou.
Honestly, Iolani grows up with no real ability for the child to solve their own problems. Counselors, counselors, counselors, every day the kids talk about it.
The counselors are in on everything and the teachers throw everything to the counselors.
At Punahou, emotional management is built from kinder, and even when kids are fighting or struggling with each other, the teachers talk with them about how they can solve the problem by themselves, and how they can think about how they can help each other feel. I, as a parent, also feel that emotional management is being built. I am planning to have my older son take the Punahou 4th exam this fall.
It is nothing but a shame that students at the adult level, who are about to graduate from high school, do not mind childish bullying and slander as they did this time unless they learn more important things at an early age, not just study and follow the rules of the school.
I felt again that it is not a good environment to grow up relying on counselors for the ability to communicate with people, which is so important in life.

Iolani is a good school. Iolani is a good school, but Punahou is a better school in terms of socialization, the ability to think for oneself, and sharing feelings. As a parent of a student, my impression is that Iolani is a school with many challenges other than academics.

Dear Iolani and Punahou mom
Thank you so much for sharing this very valuable comparative information about your two children enrolled at Iolani and Punahou respectively. I read with great interest.
I assume that when your child took the entrance exam, you as a parent visited the school, researched the school, and carefully considered the compatibility with your child before choosing your child's school. You said that you feel that Iolani is "not good", but were these thoughts not grasped during the school tour prior to enrollment?
Are you saying that you were disappointed in many ways after entering the school, although you did not know this during the school tour and the pre-enrollment information session?
Whether it is a school or a job, I am sure that there are many experiences of students who were disappointed when they actually entered a school that seemed to be good at the information session. I would be very grateful if you could tell us more about Iolani.

I went to the Iolani group exam the other day. I was told that there were still less than 400 people taking the exam and that last year about 20 people were moved up from the waitlist.
When my older son took the exam last year, he said that only about 10 waitlisted students were moved up each year, so
the child who started attending Kinder this August, who passed both Punahou and Iolani, had a much higher percentage of Punahou choices. The Iolani admissions people were truly surprised that there were less than 400 test takers and
that there were 20 advanced admissions. Was the Iolani boom over after about 2 years? Also, as others have mentioned, the 90% Asian race rate was not a lie. Probably 70% Chinese （ Chinese, Taiwanese, Hong Kong ） and 20-25% Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Filipino. For your information.

We also took the Kinder exam last year. We sent our child to a preschool where they were told they had a good chance of getting into Punahou Iolani Kinder.
I did it with a tutor for a year and a half, but neither Punahou nor Iolani was able to make the alternate list. I was very depressed, but from there I started looking for a private school that would accept me. After being rejected from Punahou and Iolani, I contacted HBA and Merinole and was told that both schools had finished announcing their acceptances but had openings, so I went to see the schools.
Kinder, Punahou and Iolani are the only top 2 schools that are competitive. There are many schools that you can get into after Punahou and Iolani are announced. To be honest, I was surprised.
I was disappointed with the results of the Kinder exam, but the one year experience was a great experience for me and my child to work towards a goal together for the first time. We decided not to go to HBA or Merinol, but to go to Public, and we will continue to work together with our child for the 4th exam.
If Punahou had 550 applicants who didn't get into Kinder, I'm convinced that it's too narrow a field for us. I know the pressure is on, but I just want my child to go to the school he wants to go to.
