Well for starters...wife and I both have family in the area. Also, we wanted to be closer to immediate family to help us when the time comes to start a family (reason #2) And the homes are 1/2 the price of LA...we have a beautiful 4 bedroom home in a gated community for less than $400K.....The problem now is my line of work went in the crapper...mortgage lending....Curiousity question, not meant to be a wiseass, but what is in Indio that made you move there?
I have done some work out there and everytime we are there, its hot as balls and we all ask each other "Why on earth would people live here"?

At least we don't have the 87% humidity that poor bastard Smitty has.
