Review of Palm Desert, California


People
Star Rating - 1/25/2008
Have visited the Palm Desert area on three different occasions during three different years. The experience is always the same.

The people are some of the most selfish, rude, self-absorbed people that I have ever met. Because of their extreme wealth, they feel they are entitled. Their botox treatments and plastic surgery can't hid their wrinkled and leather skin; signs of too much time in the sun,and likely heavy endulgence with drugs, cigs, and spirits.

Palm Desert is a beautiful area and a wonderful place to live for six or seven months a year, if you can put up with
the, "locals," and I don't mean the Hispanics or the Indians.
They are the most friendly and helpful people that one could hope to meet.

The people with wealth who sneer at the those who do not live in their gated communities can be a real hoot, especially if you refuse to take their "sh . . and give it
back to them," as the occasion arises.

I love Palm Desert, but gotta watch those, "critters."

I have a friend who lives in nearby Cathedral City certainly not as posh as Palm Springs or Palm Desert or Rancho Mirage. He retired there from Seattle to escape the rain and the grey and lives in a senior mobile community of small almost tiny house style manufactured homes. As he is fond of saying it suits a single person and "I can tip up one corner, give it a good shake and in little or no time its clean". As he has discovered the better restaurants and shopping are outside Cathedral City but he says that you can't beat the neighbors. He is an old white guy but feels that Cathedral City's strength is the fact that is is about 60% Latino, strong families, hard workers, friendly, helpful and very low crime. So Palm Desert can keep its rich snobs.
