Does anyone in LA even know that the Chargers moved there?
What a load of crap about Irvine, someone is a an attention whore playing the race/victim card.
I find this hard to believe and don’t see enough evidence to make it legally true. Maybe, and that’s a maybe, thirty years ago in OC.
“They told us the other applicant had a credit score that was four points higher,” Mebane said, rolling his eyes.
“You can’t say we won’t rent to you because you’re black, because you’ll get sued.
I know the real reason.
Why play football when you can read minds?

There are a dozen towns as close as Irvine. Newport Beach, Corona del Mar, Laguna, Costa Mesa, Laguna Niguel, Aliso Viejo, etc... Besides, Irvine has a large (majority?) Asian population. I doubt this story is true.
Learning how to be a landlord takes years.
I do not rent to trash.
That said i have rented too all flavors here in silicon valley.
It is a good time to be into rentals in the bay area.
What a bunch of partisan, whiney CR*P.
Absolute nonsense.
There are LOADS of Asians in Irvine, and lots and lots of Latinos.
Loads. The reason there are not a lot of African Americans there is, real estate is HUGELY expensive there.
That said, it hasn’t stopped the Asians, and Latinos.
What a bunch of whiney cr*p.
Absolute nonsense. Whites are in fact in a minority there, I believe.
The entire state of California, is flipping over.
This is so infuriating.
Who the hell is Mebane? Is this some guy that only uses one name, like Beyonce’?
Total BS story.
Demand for housing is extremely tight in Irvine.
There is a waiting list for rentals in Irvine and surrounding areas.
Buy a home? Be prepared to pay over list price. I know because I sold my Irvine home for $51k over list last June.
After reading the comments, I’m convinced that the most ignorant, racist culture in the history of mankind is the urban American black.
what a GIANT of BS!!!
Ive worked in Irvine
Ive have friends..including.. black friends ...that have lived in Irvine
Irvine? FGS it is the socialist lib bastion of the OC!
They are ALL about diversity. Smell BS on this story... btw I live in the north OC....we are quite diverse and thankfully still holding on to conservative.
Bull bleepin poop. Plenty of wealthy blacks in OC. Tustin hills, Anaheim Hills, Newport area, come ON. Irvine is more Asian than any other race. My son’s best friend is AA and lives in Huntington Beach. OC is far from lily white.
Oh the trials of millionaires. Can’t find a hood without whitey.
A racism agenda, looking for a story.
Unless the Asians in Irvine don’t care for Africans Americans.
Oh, brother...this story sounds like BS. I’ve never had a problem in Irvine.
So they should choose one with a lower credit score or they are racist? Got it.
It is Irvine; someone having a credit score 4 points higher is pretty common. I can only hope that there’s some recourse for the landlords to sue the bums for defamation.
If they're "negative stereotypes," then why did HE buy into them by avoiding majority-Black towns and moving into a 90% WHITE area?
Sounds like a bogus story
