The search for recreation, the good life, warm climes, and sanctuary from the torments of inner city urban life are all part and parcel of the booming of Palm Springs as both a destination resort, and as a final retirement repose for rich Californians. Once, Palm Springs was someplace to go in the winter; with air-conditioning, Sono Bono as sometime mayor, and its location as the favored party destination for college youths who prefer domestic revels to Mazatlan or Miami, Palm Springs now has something for everyone. At great cost in water, agriculture, diversity, and energy. But that is sometimes held to be around in plenty; only time will tell.
