What gets photographedPage One, the Camera and the Reader in Mission Viejo
Planned by one company from the 1960s onward, most of this city runs on factory-built metal or gas fireplaces. Early and custom homes may be masonry. Reports begin with the unit or material, and lakeside townhomes also get a note about who owns what. Inland summers run warmer than the coast, with a little marine layer, and Santa Ana season can pull at a loose cap. Regional quakes do reach here, though no named one centers on the city, so reports stay focused on caps and metal joints.
