ONE-PS in Palm Springs could be a Neighborhood Association Model for smaller Cities Across America.

June 09, 2023

In our Replay today, Kevin and Ron discuss the planning and execution of

a major ProVia® window project. In the Horror Story, this homeowner paid

for a new roof and instead got new shingles installed right over the old

ones...a major roofing no-no. In our Featured Segment today, we learn

about ONE-PS, the neighborhood association model that has been working

wonders in Palm Spring California. One-PS is the entity that unites over 50

neighborhood associations in this California town of some 45,000 people.

All of these neighborhood entities work for the good of their neighborhoods,

as well as the common good of Palm Springs. It’s a public/private

partnership that results in events such as Modernism Week, a showcase

for the city’s collection of Mid Mod residential architecture that attracts

thousands of people and many thousands of dollars to this city. ONE-PS

also publishes a magazine that is a great aid to anyone looking to buy real

estate in Palm Springs or vacation there. This is a fascinating lesson about

the collaboration, camaraderie, and community spirit that can result when

residents work together. This interview was with four of the top organizers

of ONE-PS.

IMPORTANT NOTE:


The magazine we discussed, ONE-PS in Palm Springs, that serves as a great resource for anyone looking to vacation or buy a

home in Palm Springs is now OUT OF PRINT, but it can be read online and

downloaded FREE at

In addition, the four people we interviewed should have been noted as “people key to making

ONE-PS work.”
