Really...Irvine?

I know this is everywhere, but as someone who lives 10 minutes from Irvine and had been to NYC several times I am truly dumbfounded by this. Did all of UCI get together and vote for Irvine? Is this is really late April Fool's joke? Seriously, whenever I go to New York City I bring out my fashion A-game, when I go to Irvine idgaf, because it's IRVINE.
