DISNEY Breaks Ground On COTINO, A NEW Home Development In The Palm Springs Area!

Күн бұрын

One of my subscribers asked me to check out the new Palm Springs area home community being developed and built by the Disney Company.
So, Jim and I took a drive to Rancho Mirage, an upscale community here in the Palm Springs area to see the site of Disney's new home community called COTINO. The new home community was just recently broke ground in April of 2022.
We also drove by Walt Disney's former Palm Springs homes, located at Smoke Tree Ranch and in Indian Canyons.
Thanks for coming along and sharing the memories!

As we face water restrictions again, just what we need is more homes in a development that plans on lagoons and water features. Our humidity levels are rising every year due to irrational and pools. They have also proposed a surf park in LaQuinta that will need 17 million gallons of water just to fill it. It’s criminal what they are doing to our paradise all for the $$$

The technicolor house was put up for sale in 2020 so it obviously has new owners now. Also, Celebration in Florida, which was originally Walt's planned community, is, in my opinion, a big sterile bore. I am an animation artist and have worked for many years for the Mouse and other studios, so I definitely enjoy all things Walt but the company doesn't produce magic in all the sectors it ventures into. That is defiantly a huge plot of land and from a birds eye view on Googlemaps there aren't too many left in that area! All being gobbled up and developed.

Most of the year it's around 75-80 degrees here and it's sunny and beautiful almost every day of the year. I grew up here so I love the summer an the heat. Everyone has AC and you can jump in the pool to cool off throughout the day. And you do your errands in the morning or after the sun goes down when it's not bad. It's a very dry heat (rarely any humidity so it doesn't feel that hot) and it feels great, especially when there's a nice breeze, which is most of the time. Living in the midwest or east coast with all the humidity and bugs would be a nightmare for me. I guess we all get used to where we live.

Will be interesting to watch how fast this development is built and if and when the lake is put in with drought going on. Question for ya... What is the name of the book the realtor/paperboy wrote? That would be interesting to read.

We have hundreds of earthquakes in Southern California every day, but most are so small you don't feel them. We feel the larger ones about once every few months. I've lived here all my life so I've felt all of the big ones. Hopefully the REALLY BIG ONE won't happen until after I'm long gone. :-O

I don't know if you've heard but the Disney stock has lost millions and millions of dollars. I wouldn't think they would even start developing. I'm sure they're going to hold off because I don't think they can really afford it. And find out how many people have actually invested. I bet zero
