    Just spent the last 2 weeks in Palm Springs. Nowhere near the problems Portland has down there.

    How could there be? Thats a giant retirement home. You wouldn't expect to see issues that major cities have in a small town like that right?

    They have about 500K people so I wouldn’t exactly call it “small”.

    That's 3 cities and the me
    And if you go a little further NW you could include Riverside metro area for about 500K more.

    I am considering the Palm Spring metro area. They should include Palm Desert and La Quinta as well. The number should be even higher.

    If the “city”of Palm Springs has 500K, then Portland has 5 million. I have family there, there aren’t 500K people in Palm SPrings. Maybe the county and surrounding desert, but not downtown Palm Springs.

    Palm Springs, Indio, Cathedral City, Palm Desert have about 1/2 a million people. Palm Springs itself is really just a small portion of the area.

    Just like the city of Portland itself is only 600K+ people, but the metro area is 2-3 million.

    San Francisco is around 800K people, but the bay area (metro area) has a little less than 8 million.
