Coachella saved for an ungrateful demographic

As always seemed likely, a deal has been hammered together to allow the 2012 and 2013 Coachella festivals to happen. Local residents weren't keen on the festival, but were won over by the revenue it brings.

So, 2012 and 2013 are safe. I expect we're looking at another struggle in two years; by that time, the balance may be shifting towards the uppity residents.
