I lived in Irvine, Calif., for 18 years. I know the ways in and out of the city. I know which streets are residential and which are office parks. I know where the old air force base is, where the best tacos are hidden, and where the university is. I know the quickest ways to Newport Beach and Santa Ana, and the times when the streets are thickest with cars. I know where the dry hills are, and where the big lake sits.
