Life in Palm Springs as a full time resident

Post date: 2020-01-15 06:12:13

Can anyone living in Palm Springs tell me what to expect? I've got a list of all the pros but I'm concerned about the cons.

I need to move back to LA for work but I don't necessarily need to or want to, be in the city. With LA's high real estate prices, I've found the ideal solution would be moving 2 hours out in the desert where I can afford a beautiful mid-century modern home with a swimming pool. I also like the idea of being somewhat isolated but still have many of the amenities of modern life.

But what am I missing? Is the commute to LA a lot more difficult than I imagine? I wouldn't have to do it daily, just several times a week. Is Palm Springs crawling with alt-right Trump supporters? Do party-goers make it unbearable when Coachella rolls around? Do coyotes come out at night and stalk our pets? I plan on getting a dog. Is homeownership in a resort town generally not a smart investment?

I'm a single, middle-aged, straight, cisgender, lefty, person-of-color who needs a quiet writing space for their work if that helps. Thanks.
