Everyday I read about how they are trying to push to reopen the desert as fast as possible and I have heard no one explain just where, exactly, customers in a resort town are going to come from https://nbcpalmsprings.com/2020/05/12/economic-recovery-task-force-says-reopening-business-is-urgent/
I get that people want to open, but it seems like the chamber and city councils should figure out just who is going to spend money in the desert with LA still on lockdown for 3 more months and barely anyone flying
I might be wrong here, but it really does seem like few in the business community are recognizing just how much consumer habits have changed in a very short time and there really doesn't seem to be a plan beyond "unlock and they will come"
Ohhhh, and then there is the matter of the snowbirds. Are they even going to want to come here or will they feel safer at home? https://www.politico.com/news/2020/05/12/canada-us-border-reopening-251965
Anyway, these would be good conversations to have now instead of later, but then my city council just spent 3.5 hours in a meeting where they voted to allow private golf lessons, so we are a long way away from that, I suppose
