A Los Angeles resident who moved to Palm Springs at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic planned to stay six months. Six years later, the same person is still there, according to a Business Insider report.
The move was framed as a temporary escape from the city's density. The resident negotiated a six-month lease, expecting to return once pandemic restrictions lifted. Instead, the desert city offered easy access to hiking, Modernist architecture, and a slower pace. Friendships formed through the Palm Springs International Film Festival and local live music events, including shows at Pappy and Harriet's and the Coachella festival.
