    1. The quantity of sunshine
    2. The quantity of old gay men
    3. The quantity of young gay men
    4. The quantity of healthcare services in the area due to #2

    All that said, the past couple of years have seen something of a straight invasion, so who knows what Palm Springs will be like by the time we are ready to leave the big city.

    If I remember correctly, Palm Springs has lots of lovely, droolworthy mid-century homes. The general climate/distance from water makes it geographically undesirable for me.

    I was only in Palm Springs once, and the quantity of sunshine became problematic for me as I got sun poisoning, something to do with the altitude or something? It was in January, too.
