La Quinta, a city with a great movie theater and a bunch of residents that can not figure out how to negotiate a simple intersection, is undergoing some huge demographic changes. Those changes can easily be seen in two passages, from separate stories, from Tuesday.
First, from a KESQ story about the closing of John Adams Elementary School (with emphasis by me):
In November, DSUSD proposed the school closure because there were too many schools and not enough students in the area.
The second article comes from The Desert Sun. It was a story about new luxury condominiums in the La Quinta cove (once gain, I added the bold):
The development, being built on about 3.5 acres he bought from the city for $1.5 million, will fill a niche that people coming to the area from large cities are looking for, he said.
Well, hopefully all of the weekend and snowbird tenants from those large cities enjoy those new luxury condos. I am sure the neighborhood will be awfully quiet without any families with kids around. Also, they may want to make sure they gas up their car before they get to town.
Maybe we should just start calling the city Indian Wells East?
