It wasn’t until the 1970's that retirees began to move to Palm Springs. The invention of air conditioning made the desert temperatures easier to bear. Soon more and more businesses moved to the area to accommodate these retirees. Today the city is a popular retirement spot, but more importantly it is a popular resort/vacation destination.
