This was interesting information I read in our local desert newspaper "The Desert Sun" dated 9-25-07.  The catch phrase was "What They're Saying About Us"

This isn't your grandpa's Palm Springs anymore- not after more than a billion dollars in renovations and new construction.  The streets may be named for past luminaries like Bob Hope & Frank Sinatra (kids might ask who is that?) and the place may be haven to golf playing retiress but..... and here's the interesting part.

There are 115 golf courses(probably more) and more under construction, with 40,000 swimming pools, probably more...   but the article stated " there is plenty here for 21st century families whatever their budget or interest.  The sun shines most days of the year so how can you go wrong. 

Exactly, how can you go wrong?  This is paradise country in the winter months plus the home & property values are some of the best in California for vacation and resort area.
