I live in DHS and have most of my life there are bad parts but a lot of good in the city.. we have the best water on earth.. we were the first city to pass a marijuana bill to build factories and produce mass amounts or marijuana. I personally worked at the most exclusive spot in town where I met so many different celebrities athletes producers and so on.. and where the original watsu massage was created. that place is amazing, I met Robert plant many times.. if you listen to the immigrant song by led zeppelin, he says he goes were the hot springs flow.. man that was awesome to hear him say that. I agree that this place is not perfect but this place is getting a h**l of a lot better.. and if you like to smoke weed we have like 10 shops in this little town..

I live 2 miles from Desert Hot Springs in the Unincorporated area. Where I live there is no crime or burglaries. I can leave things outside and they are never touched. Desert Hot Springs doesn't have very many noticeable homeless people because the majority of Homeless live in Palm Springs. I go to the stores in Desert Hot Springs and I seldom ever see a homeless person. The crime in Palm Springs is much worse then Desert Hot Springs as a fact. Your opinion of Desert Hot Springs is wrong. Where are all of these abandoned homes you falsely state- If there are empty homes then they should be for sale. I buy and rent or sell homes I buy and I can tell you that there are few foreclosed homes for sale that are a bargain in Desert Hot Springs. Most residents travel to other places to do things since it takes 15 minutes to get most places. I love living in Desert Hot Springs.
