As we face water restrictions again, just what we need is more homes in a development that plans on lagoons and water features. Our humidity levels are rising every year due to irrational and pools. They have also proposed a surf park in LaQuinta that will need 17 million gallons of water just to fill it. It’s criminal what they are doing to our paradise all for the $$$

[@steveinpalmspringsca]

It is pretty surprising!

[@conradmex]

Not to mention the electric shortage

[@johnnyjames7139]

The fossil record shows several droughts lasting 200 years in California. Think about that.

[@surblows]

Take a deeper dive into Crystal Lagoon technology. It's extremely advanced and far more efficient than pools. Also consider that the vast vast majority of water in California still goes to farmland. Residential developments are not the problem.

[@rinaticson390]

​@@surblows that is technically not true. Farmers are selling acreage due to the water shortage. My parents live in the farming areas and lots of Farmers only plant half of their acreage. It's sad to see it.

[@garyphil5432]

Great video. There are so many "nooks and crannies" in the valley to explore. We made a wrong turn one day and wound up in one of these areas. Had no clue what was in there. LOLOLOL.

"Where does the water come from?" Soon all building may come to a screeching halt in California if these droughts continue..

[@steveinpalmspringsca]

I think most of our water comes from our underground aquifer. Hopefully the drought won't last too much longer.

[@curtisrobinson7962]

@BAZERKLY I was wondering about the water issue, too. Lake Mead, Lake Powell are both running dry. The Great Salt Lake is drying up. And yet there's enough water to fill this pond? Pee? Are the developers planning on filling the pond with pee? Recycled of course; the water needs to come from somewhere.

Disney actually built a community in Florida that is independent from the company now. Called Celebration. Near the parks.

Yes! We lived in Celebration for about eight years, although it hasn't been owned by Disney for a while. I believe they still own the downtown area and the offices across Celebration Blvd.

The driving around the streets I remember, is great. Brings back memories. I wouldn't want to live in a Disney housing development...if I lived out there, it would be in a mid Century modern house...hopefully.

[@robertrawley1115]

The well-known statue of Walt holding Mickey's hand at every Disney park around the world does have the STR logo on Walt's necktie. However the artist took a bit of creative license... If you track down early video of Walt, he was almost always wearing a Western String Tie. The fabric necktie used by the artist looks better and was easier to replicate on the statues. Luv learning new tidbits from your videos Steve! Thanks Jim for driving! Safer while vlogging!

I live near this plot of land called Section 31, one of the large swath of undeveloped land in Rancho Mirage.

Yes, a husband and wife owned Morteen's cactus garden here and he hired them to landscape Fronteer Land from what I've read. I made a video about it a couple of years ago. Maybe I will visit the garden and do another video. I also want to make a video about Billy Reed's. Thanks TKM.

Too bad some developer doesn't look at rejuvenating the Salton Sea and rehabilitating the surrounding towns.

[@steveinpalmspringsca]

They've spent millions over the years trying to save the sea. I wish they would just let it dry up and then develop the area for some other purpose. The dead sea smell is really bad and when the wind blows west the entire desert area smells like a sewer. It used to be such a hot spot back in the day. Very sad to see what's happened to it. :-(

Does Palm Springs rely on water from the Colorado river?

[@steveinpalmspringsca]

I don't think so. I think most of our water comes from our underground aquifer.

[@reignjosiah]

We actually do get alot of our water from the Colorado. It replenishes our aquifers with less quality water because we are draining our aquifers faster than they can fill up on their own due to several drought years, more development, and agriculture.

Steve, can you tell me what the allure is of living in the desert? I just don’t understand it with the heat. Just like I can’t understand living in Alaska or other cold places where you can’t enjoy the outdoors most of the time.

[@steveinpalmspringsca]

Most of the year it's around 75-80 degrees here and it's sunny and beautiful almost every day of the year. I grew up here so I love the summer an the heat. Everyone has AC and you can jump in the pool to cool off throughout the day. And you do your errands in the morning or after the sun goes down when it's not bad. It's a very dry heat (rarely any humidity so it doesn't feel that hot) and it feels great, especially when there's a nice breeze, which is most of the time. Living in the midwest or east coast with all the humidity and bugs would be a nightmare for me. I guess we all get used to where we live.

[@chappy675]

I was struck by a comment you made in one of your cemetery videos in Tennessee I believe. You commented on how thick and lush and green everything was and it was driving you kinda crazy.

The technicolor house was put up for sale in 2020 so it obviously has new owners now. Also, Celebration in Florida, which was originally Walt's planned community, is, in my opinion, a big sterile bore. I am an animation artist and have worked for many years for the Mouse and other studios, so I definitely enjoy all things Walt but the company doesn't produce magic in all the sectors it ventures into. That is defiantly a huge plot of land and from a birds eye view on Googlemaps there aren't too many left in that area! All being gobbled up and developed.

There's nothing to see LOLOL and it will be too close to the wind tunnel at the freeway, no thanks. I'm in one of the "dozens and dozens of country clubs" in Rancho Mirage already.

LOL, you must be closer to the mountains. Nice. Thanks for sharing Catherine!

Disgusting waste of water.

The place where I live would not be a good place for LGBT people. Too conservative.

Sad to hear that Karin. That's what I love about Palm Springs and California in general. It's very accepting and embraces everyone and is much more loving and kind than many other places in the country and world.

Don't stay anyplace where you feel uncomfortable. Not worth it

I don't know if you've heard but the Disney stock has lost millions and millions of dollars. I wouldn't think they would even start developing. I'm sure they're going to hold off because I don't think they can really afford it. And find out how many people have actually invested. I bet zero

[@steveinpalmspringsca]

I wonder why their stock has gone down? I'm sure it will go back up.

[@Sunshine-ow4li]

@@steveinpalmspringsca you haven't seen the huge boycott on Disney in California and in Florida. They're losing millions and millions of dollars. People won't even go to Disneyland. It really made world news. Maybe sometime if you have time you'll see why that it's going to be at least a decade or two before they ever come out of this.

@@Sunshine-ow4li Plus, there are 3 additional resorts that do not have parks: Disney’s Vero Beach Resort in Florida Disney’s Hilton Head Island Resort in South Carolina Disney’s Aulani Resort in Hawaii they are making money regardless and my friend works at the one in Anaheim CA and it's booked because you have to make a reservation
