@@jimwatchyycha ha…yeah, this isn’t a great endorsement. BUT all places have their pros and cons…the U.S. is hurting in general-right wing extremism, crime, drugs, etc…I still think the desert is better than a lot of the U.S.
A customer of mine told me she had a vacation house in Palm Desert and she thought you could really live pretty cheaply in retirement there, but Palm desert has a lower sales tax. The San Andreas fault line follows the I-10 but moves a bit North following the hills south of the 10 and goes right through the middle of desert hot springs and then follows the mountains into San Bernardino. I discovered this after looking at real estate in the high part of desert hot springs after talking to a geologist.
Excellent video. My best analogy about the cost of living in California is buying a sweater. You can buy a sweater at Wal-Mart (the equivalent of most of the continental U.S. not counting big cities) for about $29.99. California is like buying a sweater at Neiman Marcus for $129.99. …..you don’t have to buy a sweater at Neiman Marcus (again, there’s always Wal-Mart), but ask yourself if you’ll really be happy with your Wal-Mart sweater?! Life is short!
I lived in Cathedral City for 5 years. Had a plunge pool and enjoyed outdoor living with the sun high enough in the winter to enjoy. Yes, it was miserable for 4 or 5 months but 24/7 air conditioning and solar made it livable. The people overall friendly enough, but because indoors often, due to heat, might take awhile to make friends. 😊
Well done Neal. I've lived in the Coachella Valley for the past eight years and love it. You hit all the major reasons not to live here. I'd only add, try a short-term rental in the summer if you're thinking of living in the area. You'll understand why the heat turns so many potential movers away. Personally, I like the summers for all the reasons you mentioned.
You forgot to mention that Palm Springs is to 40% a retirement community. So a lot of older folks driving like it is Sunday all the time. Spent a few months in fall there the other year and another thing that was thoroughly baffling was that all restaurants seem to close by 8pm - so better go for an early dinner if at all.
Pretty good vid, thank you. The only item that I found puzzling was the one of Snowbirds. If it wasn't for the snowbirds owning or living there half the year, then the very things you complain about would be year-round and not just seasonal. Isn't it great to have taxes paid by a whole, but where only half use the services for most of the year!
Haha, you've got a point there! Snowbirds definitely bring some interesting dynamics to the area. But hey, at least we get some entertainment during those colder months! Thanks for watching! Neal
PS has changed a lot post-covid and NOT for the better. I live there. Many good restaurants and historically popular stores closed down. Gelson's sold to people who don't have the same quality. Gangs have taken up residence and often engage in street take-overs and shoot-outs. Both the ice rink and the water parked are out of business. There is a shortage of doctors and veterinarians. We have So Cal Edison and during the summer, it is not unusual for electric bills to double and triple!! I could go on but if you are considering moving here, DO YOUR DUE DILLIGENCE!!!!
Lots of places have taken a nose dive…LA, SF…Portland. the desert has its problems but NOTHING like our big cities. This entire country needs help and it’s not changing anytime soon. Sadly. I’ll take diverse PS over the majority of this country. All day!😊
Neal moving from NYC to Palm Springs I don't drive and I get around easy buses are all over uber . So the car thing is not correct unless a person is too lazy to walk to a bus stop I even worked in Palm Desert 111 best bus route
I appreciate you sharing your perspective! It's helpful to know that the car thing may not be necessary for getting around Palm Springs if you're willing to use buses and Uber.
I live out here 14 years. Now that I am over 70 since I moved here, the heat is exhausting for my health. I am a singer that have to carry sound equipment to set up for a show, so it's hard. The winds have become so strong that my allergies are the worst now, especially for someone who sings.
I love do the same if I have $$$$. Without any one reason. Place is Paradise for reason. Been there once. Definitely my place if I can afford retirement there. Beautiful warm sunny weather paradise.
Wow!!! Are you discouraging people from coming to Palm Springs? I discovered the Coachella Valley in1988. I fell in love with it. Coming from Oregon where it rains all the time Palm Springs was Paradise to me. I continued to come for vacations every Jan to May for years. The area was clean with flowers and lighted Palm trees lining streets. I didn't see junk cars lining streets or litter on the highways. When I retired in 2011, I moved to Palm Desert and lived there for four years. I lived near I-10 and yes there was wind on certain days and yes it rained hard maybe 3 times where there was flooding that I can recall. It was only in low lying areas and dissipated quickly. It was windy at times and more so near I-10 but nothing terrible. The sand would get under the garage door a little and in windowsills. Not a big problem. I did have a storage unit for a year off I-10 and I covered everything but did have grit on everything when I moved them back home. I found the rent about the same as the Portland area. You get so much more for your money in housing in PS than you do in Oregon. The prices of homes in the Portland area are out of control. A fixer upper in a more exclusive area is over a million. You get more and much nicer property in the desert for a million. I lived comfortably on social security and a pension. Yes, you need a car even if you are visiting and a garage is a must if staying long term. I found living there exciting and I met wonderful people during the Snowbirds visiting. I went to Happy Hours at various venues in the evening. Prices were very reasonable. And nothing better than a summer evening during July, August and September. Actually, my favorite time of the year as I could go to the pool early and get some sun, do my errands then have a wonderful evening outside. I was in my mid 60's at the time and those 4 years living there found me the healthiest I had ever been. The energy and sunshine (genuine Vitamin D) took 20 years off my looks. I never looked or felt better. I had to return back to the NW to take care of my mother otherwise I would still be living there. I love the Coachella Valley. Rent has risen substantially since I moved but no more than Oregon or Washington. I think it's because everyone is leaving the cities in CA area and demand is higher. I still hope to move back someday as a part time resident to avoid the CA taxes. I do feel your video of the areas you showed did not do the area justice. Maybe you were just concerned about Palm Springs. I prefer Indian Wells, Palm Desert and La Quinta which are more desirable and beautiful in my opinion.
How did you discover something when i was born in it lady. You didn't discover shit, if 1 person can say that its Frank Sinatra. He didnt discover it but he moved here because he enjoyed that the locals dont go all dumb over celebrities.
palm springs looks beautiful, all those pretty pool homes. But 110 degrees in summer, yikes. you must be prisoners to your ac homes. and your electric Bill's must be high from having to run major ac all the time.
We live here year round since 2017 and love it. You plan your day in the summer , starting with an early morning hike, than jumping in the pool. We have a garage, as many homes in Palm Springs area do, so it’s all relative.. but we are not in prison.. an hour away, you drive to Idylwild which has great restaurants and trail and 30 degrees cooler, so you have options, from visiting the San Jacinto mountain by tram and experiencing snow in winter, or Idylwild, , to visiting Joshua tree preserve and other near by nearby nature preserves.. it’s all about your preference. Palm Springs is not for everyone
@@Luis-xj6nffirst it's never got 130° here I don't know what you're talking about second it's only 120 for I would say maybe a week out of the summer stop gas lighting people Yes it's hot but not that hot
I sadly live here but want to move out, weather is extremely hot, there's no opportunity unless you retired or are a billioner, cost of living, rise of homeless. Burbank or Glendale are better with both citys having more jobs than just retai.....hotel...hospital.
I grew up in both, Graduated Burbank HS in '99. It was nice and affordable back then, but like many other places, gone downhill...really bad post 2015. Main reason IMO is traffic, cost of living and real estate prices. Look up the cheapest apt rent or home purchase in Burbank or Glendale, CA. Like most places. Its the loss of middle class. Everyone is rich or poor. I am planning on moving out of state. You will need $10k+/mo gross income to survive single, net take home to survive as a family, ideally both spouses working...and that just for lower- middle class living here.
@user-ox2xi6kk8o that's crazy cause Burbank the home of animation and was set to live there...well since I never have a family so I will have to work non stop in the studio.
You didn’t mentioned most of the land you buy a home on in Palm Springs is leased from the local Indian Tribe. They can renew or not your lease when is expires. Also, can raise the lease “payments” on your home. Once I realized that, I was no,longer interested in buying a home in Palm Springs.
I visited and I liked it, coming from NYC, we New Yorkers can live anywhere we want. I am choosing Palm Springs as a second home location, and planning on being there a few months out of the year. As long as you are in a gated community, I think it should be safe, we liked Rancho Mirage, gorgeous city. This was a professional video, one of the best out there. thank you for that.
PS is boring! Why not paradise Puerto Vallarta? It's cheaper, friendlier, cleaner, cheaper and way less violence! And gorgeous with the beautiful beaches! California is a shithole!!
Oh please...not 11 months out of the year. Well here in paradise Puerto Vallarta it's hott 6 mos of the year but than everything else in the terrible California, the whole US for that matter!
If you like chewing dirt brought by the Santa Ana wind, sweat your a** off on a 110 degree heat, not to mention high crimes, and ridiculously high cost of living, please, PLEASE go to Palm Springs! Lived and worked there for 7 years and I don't miss it, and probably won't go for a visit. That place SUCKS!!🤣🤣

#11 There are no basements in any home. But one could go to the basement and escape the summer heat. No. No, basements here. Q: Why? A: Because basements violate city building code. Q: Why?
I am from laguna niguel area and cannot afford it now that I am a single mom divorced so was thinking of palm springs for the cheaper rates but I am afraid I might hate it. Any other suggestions to stay in california that I can find a house under 300k ?
Not all the land is owned by Indians. Buy a house not on their land. Fact: the average life of a wind turbine is 25 to 30 years. So, of you’re young and don’t want to see a graveyard of wind turbines in a short period of time, it’s your choice. Tourism driving is very nerve racking. No criticism, you have to watch out for them. The gays that live here are NOT your typical stereotype. No .in your face or flamboyance. Just people in love. Note: if you live here, there is always around the traffic.
Yes ! I am a Armed Security Officer in this city ! And my patrols 🚓 are full of homeless 😢 and yes alot of hard-core gang members and wannabe gangsters ? Private Security Officer's have to pickup were law enforcement are letting down the fine citizens of Palm Springs and the surrounding other Cities ! Do to manpower ! And don't forget about the lack of trust of city hall & law enforcement ! Let please don't forget about section 14 in the 1950s and 1960s up to the maybe 1970s ! May God Bless all there souls !
@@1968shinobi ....don't blame the cops. The militant gay city council ties their hands. That's why the town turned into a gay ghetto/homeless wasteland. The city council stated that they follow the model of San Francisco. That tells you all you need to know.
Most of the hot season is dry and lots of people own swamp coolers and they work well if you know how to use them. Plus the state doesn't do that your making things up
One of the reasons we left California was the 20% tax I would have had to pay on my 401k upon retiring. In Georgia I think I paid something like 8 or 5%. In case you're interested the privilege of living in California with the feces filled streets, non-existent law enforcement in some places and really bad pollution is not worth it.
@@nomiddlenamenmn427 Why didn't I think of that? Just move the most expensive place on the planet! It must be the best. Isn't LA cheaper than New York? Yeah that's it. Move to New york.
I used to go every year for a week or two in December-January. But I don't go anymore because the small town Desert ambiance is long gone. It's too modern like OC and LA and it's too gay.
What about the black and brown history of Palm Springs ! Did you forget about SECTION 14 !!! YOU DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THAT ! DO SOME MORE RESEARCH ! WITH FULL HONESTY !
Thanks from Canada for your comments on snowbirds. Be happy that Canadians still go to the US. I do not! The murder rate is way too high. There are too many guns. I don’t want to visit a place where the inhabitants feel so scared they need guns. Most of the handguns seized during a crime up here are from the US. So thank your lucky stars that tourists are still coming. The last time I was in PS gunfire broke out a few blocks from where I sat. That drew a line along the Canada/US border. Spain, France, Portugal have lovely "winter" weather and beaches and there aren't a lot of fast food joints 😊. Just saying
You don't want anymore moving there? You sure their not moving here to paradise Puerto Vallarta? Cuz I know lots! California is a shithole and yr violence is terrible. Here is so clean and friendly and cheaper and beautiful and safe!

One of the reasons we left California was the 20% tax I would have had to pay on my 401k upon retiring. In Georgia I think I paid something like 8 or 5%. In case you're interested the privilege of living in California with the feces filled streets, non-existent law enforcement in some places and really bad pollution is not worth it.
so true why edited responce
When places are cheaper to live, there are reasons.
@@patrickprendergast9589 Is this a question?
@@nomiddlenamenmn427 Why didn't I think of that? Just move the most expensive place on the planet! It must be the best.
Isn't LA cheaper than New York? Yeah that's it. Move to New york.
i didnt understand why youtube edeted your responce
11. Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
And the homelessness there.
The big ugly elephant in the room. It's getting worse by the year.
Homeless are everywhere. Just to be clear😮
@@lizdahl847Homelessness is nearly everywhere in the US.
@@nomiddlenamenmn427 That's what I said 4 months ago!!
Diversity, pretty much a con.
I used to go every year for a week or two in December-January. But I don't go anymore because the small town Desert ambiance is long gone. It's too modern like OC and LA and it's too gay.
What about the black and brown history of Palm Springs ! Did you forget about SECTION 14 !!! YOU DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THAT ! DO SOME MORE RESEARCH ! WITH FULL HONESTY !
Why don’t YOU fill us in because your comment doesn’t mean anything to those of us that don’t know. What is sec14? Is there an issue we should know?
@@djb6313 Yeah, they make some vague comment. I don't know what they mean.
Is SEC 14 holding you back in some way?? Want me to beat it up for you? 🥺
Wow ! You got triggered fast over nothing, calm down cupcake take a deep breath he was just talking about diversity 🙄
Get a life and quit blaming others for your lack of ambition.
Now that’s smart video to watch,oh not me it’s evil now drugies,very sad indeed not same,empty,smell,
Ese lugar esta muy seco, arido y hostil, muy feo en mi opimiom
Thanks from Canada for your comments on snowbirds. Be happy that Canadians still go to the US. I do not! The murder rate is way too high. There are too many guns. I don’t want to visit a place where the inhabitants feel so scared they need guns. Most of the handguns seized during a crime up here are from the US. So thank your lucky stars that tourists are still coming. The last time I was in PS gunfire broke out a few blocks from where I sat. That drew a line along the Canada/US border. Spain, France, Portugal have lovely "winter" weather and beaches and there aren't a lot of fast food joints 😊. Just saying
Then go where you feel safe.
I’m quite sure we won’t miss your presence in our country.
We dont want no more people moving here, stay away.
You don't want anymore moving there? You sure their not moving here to paradise Puerto Vallarta? Cuz I know lots! California is a shithole and yr violence is terrible. Here is so clean and friendly and cheaper and beautiful and safe!
Yes we want our burnt 🔥shit hole 🕳️ to ourselves 😅
