They forgot to mention, that at the beginning of next
year all business leases will be set at an artificially flat
rate of $4.00 a square foot compared to the $1.75-$2.75 it is now.
Even a 10th story floor in Fascist Island overlooking Balboa
is only $2.40/square foot now. Even better, UCI's on campus
research park, open only to those exclusive companies
working with on campus research labs, goes for about $2.15.

Why the raise in prices? Supply and Demand? No, it's all
part of the master plan.
