Thank you so much for the heads up I’m moving to Palm Springs at the end of October i’m so excited I’ve been there so many times I just fell in love with the city and the vibe and the chillness of the town. I’m ready to dive in and start living the Desert life. I know the heat is gonna be a big adjustment but I’m originally from the East Coast lived in South Florida for a long time and their summers were insane. But looking forward to this new venture
@@joechino9022 region needs better transit and metrolink. future buses will be smaller shuttles (like GM Cruise Origin) - electric, silent, comfortable and possibly driverless and more flexible timing/routing than fixed routes of today. We need these for getting to and from events, outings and errands without piling miles on our cars, depending on them when they break or when we are too drunk, ill or old to drive - or so we can be car-less.
This is all puzzling to me. We BBQ, hike and enjoy the outdoors all year and honestly, when it gets to 11pm, its rarely 106 even when its 115 in the day. I think the people who are trapped indoors are the ones who probably don't love desert life and should go elsewhere.
I agree-I enjoy the desert all year like you-I love the summer months even...some people just can't handle the heat and that's okay too-:) Thanks for watching!
I know i am late to the party but I have to put in my 2 cents living here for the last 2 years. For those of you planning to move to palm springs, it can be difficult. If you are not in love with the heat, (like, love love,) it can be a burden here year round. High 90's sometimes in January, I haven't really cooled down much this year and A/C's, (plural) run all year. Coachella Valley can smell something gross from who knows what. Earthquakes and water shortages are going to be a major issue in the future but everyone here puts their head in the sand instead of dealing with it. Gardeners beware- your plants will not do great here. Sometimes even your cactus will burn in the heat. With the high taxes and so little to do and shop, just a little too pricey overall.
When I lived in palm springs all i did was order doordash delivery for food, it was super fast, I don't wait in the restaurants for for food or grocery always had delivery everything to me here.
i agree there isn't much "to do" compared to a real, proper, walkable, park/transit oriented city like chicago/sydney/paris - just "shop and dine" like los angeles and other boring US cities. in considering relocating to PS from SF (too cold) i'm hoping i'll be able to get into heat and community aesthetics projects to keep me busy and just travel to cooler places in the summer months which i do anyway.
i thought about chicago/PS or chicago/sydney for the same reasons. but might be coming to PS full time and traveling the summer months to get cooler :)
Summer's are rough-I live inside with the AC and go out early for a walk, and late in the afternoon for a swim-wow! I LOVE Twin Palms area and LOVE that you restored a Krisel-how awesome is that!
A LOT of the sought-after PS, vintage, architectural homes were designed as very late Fall/Winter/Spring/and weekend homes. Costing about $27,000 made that possible, even for middle-class folks. Those days are long, gone. We will have to get use to a LOT more 120 degree days,and severe water shotages, residents will somehow have to compensate. Making solar roof-panels, and drought-tolerant landscaping MANDATORY will help a LOT. The greater PS area should be 100% clean energy independent. Grass belongs, only in our community's many Marijuana dispensaries, NOT on the ground!
@@petermcdonald1744 agree completely about the energy efficiency/renewable/storage/shade mandates for PS. metrolink and cruise origin shuttles too. maybe PS could also decriminalize psychedelics and even legalize them (in office tripping first, then dosed at home by practitioner).
Yes, a strange title. I grew up in Palm Springs 70´s 80´s. In 1970 it was probably 25,000 people max. All of the Coachella Valley was open, just date palms, grapes and other produce, mostly towards Indio and southeast. In the 1980´s they began destroying the desert with country clubs and other resort living locales. The air used to be clean, and the skies so dark at night the Milky Way was brilliant.
I am originally from the Coachella Valley and this video is hilariously true! I no longer live there, because I personally wanted to get out of the heat. However, I still LOVE the desert and it will always be home to me!
Hi! Thank you for watching...I really LOVE the desert, but the video was meant to kind of be a spoof on what people really might hate...glad you found the humor in that! Cheers!
Number 3, getting-rid of winter clothing makes the greater PS thrift shop community a FABULOUS place to BUY winter clothing, if you are visiting from a colder climate.
I have lived in West WA state for 6 years. It rains or snows, and is cloudy & foggy 8 mos out of the year. I stay indoors cuz it’s usually too cold to casually go outdoors. You can layer up, parka over sweatshirt, over thermal shirt, but it’s difficult to layer your pants. have gained 10 lbs. I will say the 3 mos of summer are absolutely gorgeous, no where else compares for summer in my book.
Great video! I am interested in PS and I was actually just there with my mother for the first time last summer (yep, perfect time of year to go to PS for the 1st time lol). We'll be back again in the area shortly. Although desert living intrigues me, I'm more so worried about regulations in CA in general. I suppose visiting once more may bring me clarity to that kind of thing.
Thank you for watching! What brought you and your mom to PS in the summer, just out of curiosity? The weather is so gorgeous right now, you would really love it! The regulations here are quite different than Texas, that's for sure, I would read up on it a little to get a better idea. I would say they are much more strict, particularly in the LA area. And now, many restaurants are requiring proof of vax, just to eat inside. Although here, the option to eat outdoors is very intriguing. You will have to let me know if you come back, I can fill you in on some awesome things to do/see.
while most of your points are well-taken, it cracks me up when people complain about the summer heat... um, HELLO! you knew that before you moved there! I love the desert nights in the summertime, & if I go downtown during the day, I make sure to park in the parking garage to keep my car out of the sun. If you need to escape the heat, you could always take the aerial tram up to the top of Mt. San Jacinto!
I must have missed this reply a few months ago-sorry I am just getting back to you! I LOVE IT here in Palm Springs....I actually created the video just to be silly, because I hear people say these very things. The funny thing is-I am not complaining at all-I LOVE LOVE LOVE it here. I even say that in to the video. Oddly enough, I get the most comments on this video...I am super glad people watch it. I do love the TRAM too-it is such a nice reprieve from the heat, I happen to enjoy the desert heat. It's great for my achy joints. Thanks again for tuning in...maybe I will see you around town! Cheers!
If you want a cooler desert or desert mountain area, go to Oak Hills, Phelan, etc. It’s close to Wrightwood, decently close to Big Bear. Disneyland is in Orange County by the way.
To Palm Springs residents: Are there special measures or tools to keep cars cooler when parking? Is there a lot of covered parking near shopping areas? Do people leave car windows down?
I put a sun shade up on my windshield and one on my rear window. It seems to help. I park in garages when possibly, or under trees. I don't leave my windows down, but I imagine slightly cracked may help?? It certainly takes a minute to cool the car down after it's been sitting, but it's not too terrible.
@@yourdesertlife7321 Yes, I do that also in much less heat. I just thought people there would be more inclined to give each other a break and everyone can leave windows down more. Someone should invent a cooling feature for parked cars in Palm Springs. Is there a lot of shaded parking around stores?
this is a good idea. city hall should incentivize/require shaded parking from trees, structures or solar panels in exchange for priority approval, fast tracked permitting, tax offset, something.
I would preferred this summer weather in Palm Springs way better than any other freezing state in winter and freakin humid,moist,dunk summers in Fl,Tx and many many other states no thank you I rather be here so stop complaining about it you probably moved to one of those states good luck.
Hi thank you for your candid comment-I actually live in and LOVE Palm Springs-I mention that the first 30 seconds of my video AND in my description-the reason for the video is because many people complain about these things, so I thought it would be funny to make a video about the complaints I hear. I am not complaining about it-I LOVE it-and no I did not move to another state, I am happy where I am. Thank you though for watching and commenting. Have a great day!
I wouldn't throw the winter clothes away if you travel at night during the winter months, it can get down to 20 degrees fahrenheit early in the morning.
I love an escape to the beach or even the mountains. I can be in Lake Arrowhead/Big Bear area in about an hour and 30 minutes, and depending on which beach, about 2 hours or so-Are you from Texas? PS does not have humidity very often, it's mostly a dry heat, which I find to be more tolerable-but 115-120 isn't for everyone! :)
I gave the other realtor "why i hate PS" a downvote because he was trying too hard and ended up being fake and sales oriented. your video was honest, insightful, measured and not negative or fake positive in any way. and it made me want to click your relocation guide. it was useless to me, because it's targeted to people who know nothing about the area and don't know how to use google maps, but your sincerity comes out. i was hoping it would be a cliffs notes for price/amenity/commute zones, rental/month/roommate/trial sweet spots, document/tax/service/guidance, etc. ruclips.net/video/sn9_KzimGXk/видео.html as you said, everybody should immerse themselves in the full summer season heat first and try running errands all over the place before moving to PS.
Thank you for your comment-I will take note of the relocation guide-I will make some changes to it-We do get a lot of folks here from other countries and states and many of them are older and don't know how to google-you're right about that. I will take your feedback and make notes to these suggestions.
How do you escape the heat locally. Is there anywhere close by to retreat from the high summer heat for a few weeks, besides driving and staying at the coast?
Hi! Great question. Locally, the only way I know to beat the heat is to stay in with the AC on or take a dip in a nice cool pool-however, as local as you can get...but still a little drive... is to head to Idyllwild/Palms to Pines highway for a little getaway to stay in the cooler mountain air. Once on a hot day we took the Arial tram to the top and it was like 30 degrees cooler up there and felt amazing! We spent the day hiking, exploring, and had a little picnic. Although only for a day, it was a nice escape!
@@yourdesertlife7321 That sounds amazing. Thank you so much for responding. I think I would need to escape the heat at times. I hear Palm desert (though further out), is the Palm Springs of yesteryear, in that Palm Springs used to be a quieter tonier area, and is now a bit overcrowded and too Hollywood Blvd. touristy. Have you done a video comparing the communities nearby? Again, thank you for responding. Enjoy your paradise 🌞
@@larkatmic That is a great idea! I should do that! I am pretty new to making videos (something fun to do during Covid lol) All the Coachella Valley Cities are so different from one another, it would be awesome to share that-thank you for the great idea. I tend to focus on Palm Springs, because I live here, but I will make it a point to get out and share more-cheers!
LOL-that's a good one. Love it and so true. My contact lens just fell out of my eye the other day...wonder if that's why. Thank you for seeing the corny humor in the video.
Seriously? Drives to San Diego rare , special occasions. Melting ice cream…? Hello desert . Yes….REAL heat. Nothing worse than the Santa Ana winds in August literally a blast furnace. Summer cabin fever very real. Oh put your patio furniture in the garage for the hot season.
This place is so beautiful from a visitors point of view but could suck real fast if i don't feel included in any social scene or feel hopeless in it. The transgender benefits are what made me wanna check it out or so called programs to pay them to move to PS. It might just be bullshit though. Oh and Frank Sinatra too.. that was fascinating that he lived in PS as well.
I haven't been doing that thankfully but it's been real hot besides that. My door handle has gotten hot and I've had to live in my vehicle in this crap.
This might be the dumbest thing I've ever seen lol... obviously it's hot (it's the desert). Nothing really to do with the actual city of Palm Springs. Why not throw in Nevada (Vegas), Arizona, and New Mexico while we're at it... Plus, you're going off on Palm Springs whilst simultaneously advertising yourself as a realtor?! Am I the only one confused 😅?
This video is absolute nonsense and greatly exaggerated. 150deg in palms springs? Ridiculous and talking about traveling a short distance to goto places like the ocean or Disneyland, that’s the distance to many other places like Phoenix and Vegas etc. and talking about things like Halloween and melting chocolate and how hot it is when she gets in her car have you heard of a crazy invention called A/C? This is all a bunch of fear mongering to the public but she did say one thing right, Palm Springs is unlike anything else in the U.S. and with that I agree being in reality a beautiful, safe gem of a place.
Thank you for watching-you're right it is nonsense and TOTALLY exaggerated-I made this video this way on purpose-these are not my reasons for disliking the desert-as I state in my video, I LOVE Palm Springs and where I live-but these are some of the silly reasons people, believe it or not, have given. It's intended to be a joke- And the video is meant to be fun-not taken seriously. I mean really....even my description explains the absurdity of the topics-
This is lame and you're reading it which is annoying. It's absolutely beautiful in the desert and I adjusted quickly to the heat. I love going in the pool after it gets dark. It's so relaxing.
Hi there- thank you for watching and for your comment. I’m sorry you found it lame… also I’m not gifted at impromptu banter so I do keep notes to help me stay on task. I apologize that you found it annoying as it is meant to be somewhat silly reasons I hear people give about why they hate the desert. I for one love it- as I state in my annoying lame video. There’s no place I’d rather be. Thanks again for watching!
Hi Lulubelle-thank you for leaving a comment on my video- I agree with you, Palm Springs is wonderful!. I even say that in the first 20 second of the video-it is merely a "parody" on all the reasons I hear people say they don't like Palm Springs. It's a joke. You probably did not watch the video-so I can assume your comment is based primarily on the title. I can understand why you think it's negative, but really, you and I know the reasons I list are pretty silly. I have many many other videos about how amazing the city is....
I lived in Palm Springs 2008-2013; moved there in March 2008, left in June 2013. At first, we loved it. My husband and I thought that it was going to be nirvana for a gay couple...and it was, for the first three years. But after three years, the negatives started to wear on me, and I'm not just talking about the summer heat and stench in the air from the Salton Sea. Palm Springs is a small town, packed with people who have a lot of time on their hands...time to get all up in your business and gossip. Thank goodness I left before covid hysteria turned it into a communist state. And Palm Springs also attracts what I call "desert rats", people who are on drugs and running away from someone or something.
Good for you, it IS a small town and mouths must be kept shut, esp. if you have a business. By the way, Desert Rats is also what some of us locals call ourselves without the drugs and running away from authorities. But I take your point!
Ya not everywhere at all is the lovely type of thing you picture Frank Sinatra singing happily in. The mexican parts are bad, and the heroin and meth seem to be on the outskirts of PS. Cathedral City seems real patchy.
I love PS. I have lived in la quinta and PS for couple years ... Most beautiful and clean cities i have lived in. I wish i could live there again.
Couldn't agree more!
Thank you so much for the heads up I’m moving to Palm Springs at the end of October i’m so excited I’ve been there so many times I just fell in love with the city and the vibe and the chillness of the town. I’m ready to dive in and start living the Desert life. I know the heat is gonna be a big adjustment but I’m originally from the East Coast lived in South Florida for a long time and their summers were insane. But looking forward to this new venture
I lived in three desert communities
Palm Springs
Palm Desert
Bermuda Dunes
almost 10 years total
Loved it!
I love it too-I feel like I am on vacation everyday! What was your favorite community of the 3?
PS, La Qutina, and Bermuda Dunes for me. 👍 Love it.
@@joechino9022 Me too! I think La Quinta is beautiful too!
The problem with La Quinta is too quiet and we have to go to PS, LA, SD for everything else. Yes, lots miles to put on the cars....🌞😎😅
@@joechino9022 region needs better transit and metrolink. future buses will be smaller shuttles (like GM Cruise Origin) - electric, silent, comfortable and possibly driverless and more flexible timing/routing than fixed routes of today. We need these for getting to and from events, outings and errands without piling miles on our cars, depending on them when they break or when we are too drunk, ill or old to drive - or so we can be car-less.
This is all puzzling to me. We BBQ, hike and enjoy the outdoors all year and honestly, when it gets to 11pm, its rarely 106 even when its 115 in the day. I think the people who are trapped indoors are the ones who probably don't love desert life and should go elsewhere.

I prefer hot weather over cold weather because it gets me going more and easier to wake up.

If you are not in love with the heat, (like, love love,) it can be a burden here year round. High 90's sometimes in January, I haven't really cooled down much this year and A/C's, (plural) run all year. Coachella Valley can smell something gross from who knows what. Earthquakes and water shortages are going to be a major issue in the future but everyone here puts their head in the sand instead of dealing with it. Gardeners beware- your plants will not do great here. Sometimes even your cactus will burn in the heat. With the high taxes and so little to do and shop, just a little too pricey overall.

Living in Palm Springs is like living on Mars. If you had to work outside in the summer and you died and went to hell, how would you know?
Buying a second home in Palm Desert. Palm Deserts in the winter and Oregon in the summers. Best of both worlds IMO
i thought about chicago/PS or chicago/sydney for the same reasons. but might be coming to PS full time and traveling the summer months to get cooler :)
Same here. Bought a second home I'm LQ. It's so nice to get away and enjoy the peacefulness of the desert.
Love Palm Springs, but could never live there over the summer. We restored a Krisel home in Twin Palms and leave for the summer.
Summer's are rough-I live inside with the AC and go out early for a walk, and late in the afternoon for a swim-wow! I LOVE Twin Palms area and LOVE that you restored a Krisel-how awesome is that!
A LOT of the sought-after PS, vintage, architectural homes were designed as very late Fall/Winter/Spring/and weekend homes. Costing about $27,000 made that possible, even for middle-class folks.

Yes, a strange title. I grew up in Palm Springs 70´s 80´s. In 1970 it was probably 25,000 people max.

In the 1980´s they began destroying the desert with country clubs and other resort living locales. The air used to be clean,

She exaggerates a bit. Halloween usually has perfect weather, like 80 thru 85. Yes it could be 95 but unlikely.
The Summer of 2023 may cause many to flee. And she forgot to mention the whole valley is running out of water, wealth or not.
Lived there 5 years it's home I miss it so much love it
Number 3, getting-rid of winter clothing makes the greater PS thrift shop community a FABULOUS place to BUY winter clothing, if you are visiting from a colder climate.
So true! I LOVE thrift store shopping!

The best part is the summer nights
In the summer Las Vegas, NV is HOT, Palm Springs,CA is HOT HOT, Phoenix, AZ is HOT, HOT, HOT and Yuma, AZ is Hellish HOT, HOT, HOT, HOT!!!!
The place sounds positively hellish...

eh its only for a couple weeks in the summer, the other seasons are perfect with the weather reaching a high 80°F its perfect
@@johneli495 half the year now it's getting worse
From may to october
You look fantastic!
I love the Heat🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for this. I still can't wait to move there :0
I still love it! Where are you moving from? I am certain you will enjoy it here!
@@yourdesertlife7321 LA next year. Can't wait, but have to :)
@@nicomedessantiago6428 awesome-well some things are definitely worth the wait! Cheers!
Can't wait also!
@@MovieJustin Set your eyes on the goal-you can make it happen!
Seriously? Drives to San Diego rare , special occasions. Melting ice cream…? Hello desert .
Yes….REAL heat. Nothing worse than the Santa Ana winds in August literally a blast furnace. Summer cabin fever very real. Oh put your patio furniture in the garage for the hot season.
Bye!!
This place is so beautiful from a visitors point of view but could suck real fast if i don't feel included in any social scene or feel hopeless in it. The transgender benefits are what made me wanna check it out or so called programs to pay them to move to PS. It might just be bullshit though. Oh and Frank Sinatra too.. that was fascinating that he lived in PS as well.
Your really selling it
I don’t agree😊
Yes its good to visit but sucks to live, getting burned by seat belt and driving you car with oven mitts sucks.
I haven't been doing that thankfully but it's been real hot besides that. My door handle has gotten hot and I've had to live in my vehicle in this crap.
This might be the dumbest thing I've ever seen lol... obviously it's hot (it's the desert). Nothing really to do with the actual city of Palm Springs. Why not throw in Nevada (Vegas), Arizona, and New Mexico while we're at it... Plus, you're going off on Palm Springs whilst simultaneously advertising yourself as a realtor?! Am I the only one confused 😅?
Nothing but negativity here
Palm Springs is totally worth it
It is paradise
I absolutely love it! I agree, It is a desert paradise.
This video is absolute nonsense and greatly exaggerated. 150deg in palms springs? Ridiculous and talking about traveling a short distance to goto places like the ocean or Disneyland, that’s the distance to many other places like Phoenix and Vegas etc. and talking about things like Halloween and melting chocolate and how hot it is when she gets in her car have you heard of a crazy invention called A/C? This is all a bunch of fear mongering to the public but she did say one thing right, Palm Springs is unlike anything else in the U.S. and with that I agree being in reality a beautiful, safe gem of a place.
Thank you for watching-you're right it is nonsense and TOTALLY exaggerated-I made this video this way on purpose-these are not my reasons for disliking the desert-as I state in my video, I LOVE Palm Springs and where I live-but these are some of the silly reasons people, believe it or not, have given. It's intended to be a joke- And the video is meant to be fun-not taken seriously. I mean really....even my description explains the absurdity of the topics-
This is lame and you're reading it which is annoying. It's absolutely beautiful in the desert and I adjusted quickly to the heat. I love going in the pool after it gets dark. It's so relaxing.
Hi there- thank you for watching and for your comment. I’m sorry you found it lame… also I’m not gifted at impromptu banter so I do keep notes to help me stay on task. I apologize that you found it annoying as it is meant to be somewhat silly reasons I hear people give about why they hate the desert. I for one love it- as I state in my annoying lame video. There’s no place I’d rather be. Thanks again for watching!
Ugh so negative. Palm Springs is awesome
Hi Lulubelle-thank you for leaving a comment on my video- I agree with you, Palm Springs is wonderful!. I even say that in the first 20 second of the video-it is merely a "parody" on all the reasons I hear people say they don't like Palm Springs. It's a joke. You probably did not watch the video-so I can assume your comment is based primarily on the title. I can understand why you think it's negative, but really, you and I know the reasons I list are pretty silly. I have many many other videos about how amazing the city is....
@@yourdesertlife7321 no hon, I watched the whole entire video and my comment stands. Very negative and I won’t be subscribing,
@@lulubellecataloni5605 That's okay. Thank you again for the comment-have a blessed day, maybe I will see you around town and we can share a smile :)
I lived in Palm Springs 2008-2013; moved there in March 2008, left in June 2013. At first, we loved it. My husband and I thought that it was going to be nirvana for a gay couple...and it was, for the first three years. But after three years, the negatives started to wear on me, and I'm not just talking about the summer heat and stench in the air from the Salton Sea. Palm Springs is a small town, packed with people who have a lot of time on their hands...time to get all up in your business and gossip. Thank goodness I left before covid hysteria turned it into a communist state. And Palm Springs also attracts what I call "desert rats", people who are on drugs and running away from someone or something.
Good for you, it IS a small town and mouths must be kept shut, esp. if you have a business. By the way, Desert Rats is also what some of us locals call ourselves without the drugs and running away from authorities. But I take your point!
Ps is a dump heroin n meth addicts all around
Ya not everywhere at all is the lovely type of thing you picture Frank Sinatra singing happily in. The mexican parts are bad, and the heroin and meth seem to be on the outskirts of PS. Cathedral City seems real patchy.
I also notice the black people are not at all living in the mexican areas or on the outskirts in PS.
Fuck this heat wtf
