Joshua Tree: 'City Prices in a Very Small Town'

A boom in Joshua Tree tourism is leaving the local community with fewer housing options. The cost of living in the desert is skyrocketing for residents like Tiffany Hopkins, who is finding it harder to live in the place she's called home for 33 years. When homes are bought out for short-term rentals, they are taken off the long-term rental market, displacing long-time local residents.
