Her local news was reporting them and showing the crowds. She said she wished she was able to go to one but physically it’s impossible for her😢

A few years ago, a crowd like we had today would have been impossible, but tens of thousands of new residents in the West Valley now!

A lot of seniors will be hurt in that area. Social security and Medicare keep a lot of seniors alive. I worry for her and her friends.
