My husband and I visited there for a few days last winter. I didn’t notice the gays but it did look like a retirement or second-homer city (golf courses, condos). However, my husband said someone who lives there asked extensively what we had done and liked, and would we come back again? We got the impression they were trying to expand their appeal to more people.
We loved visiting there and would return, though not our cup of tea for living in. No golf for us—the hiking was great! And the fresh almond toffee made in Cathedral City. The airport is my favorite of all!!!! The beautiful, airy outdoors atrium made waiting for the flight pleasant.
Sorry, late reply.
Yes, Palm Springs is still a resort-vibe type city. In fact, almost the rest of the nine Desert Cities (Palm Springs, Desert Hot Springs, Cathedral City, Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, Indian Wells, La Quinta, Indio, Coachella) are, as well (Coachella is more agricultural than resort-vibe).

Ruidoso,New Mexico is not in the desert,SunGrins....its in the mountains.
Yeah but it isn’t too far from White Sands and it has other charms. You are right... you can’t walk out your front door into the desert like in parts of Rio Rancho where I live. There are interesting places as desert mountains — the Sierra Ladrones near Socorro would be an example. Between Santa Fe and Albuquerque you have Placitas and Algodones and Bernalillo (maybe too congested these days). Los Alamos is west of Santa Fe. Bernalillo might be a good place to start a business being on the interstate about 15 miles north of Albuquerque and sandwiched between Placitas and Rio Rancho.
