Quartzsite used to HATE the snowbirds, and started making things difficult for them, so the snowbirds started staying away.
The town started suffering extraordinarily low revenues during the winter, because all the snowbirds were spending their money in other places where they were welcomed.
Be careful what you ask for, you just might get it!
BTW, Quartzsite now welcomes the snowbirds again.
Just what I would expect a Canadian to say. We need to make you freeloaders pay your fair share.
