My problem with PS is twofold:
1- It's population is 2% super-rich, and 98% rednecks who work at the resorts. My BFF was dating a resort girl at the time, so we got a 2-week-long tour of the town. The income disparity was horrifying. She had to work at 3 resorts just to pay for community college.
2-The lawns. If you look up the mountain, you can see the tree line where the rain stops before coming into Palm Springs. But everyone has lush tropical foliage and green green lawns. Since PS is in the middle of a sand dune desert, where do they get that water? AZ. Long ago some idoit sold our water rights to CA. So we get zeroscapes and they get lawns without water conservation guidelines.
I KNOW #2 is not 100% accurate, but it bugs me, and you get the idea.
