Review of Honolulu, Hawaii


Great place to visit but....
Star Rating - 9/23/2010
don't move here! Unless you like high prices, unreasonable traffic, monotonous weather and are absolute nuts about sports and more sports. No cultural life beyond ukulele concerts, hula and surf competitions; sand and sea get to be a drag after a while.
Don't think about buying a place - who can afford the down payment - and even then, it's half the size of what you'll find on the mainland. Public schools are pretty bad and the cheapest private will set you back over $10,000 per year. Need your car fixed or that sofa you really want - you either wait 10 days + for them to ship it, or it's "not available in Hawaii."
Come on over...just be sure it's a round-trip ticket!
