We recently moved from Los Gatos to Joshua Tree and could not be happier with our decision.

Strangely enough, we have jobs and more than enough to do. But to place Thousand Palms and Twentynine Palms over 100 spots higher than Joshua Tree, Yucca Valley, and Palm Springs is total nonsense. Really, I just don't understand why unincorporated parts of California are even on this list.
