HAWAII SUCKS. - 3/28/2019
The Democrats are running Hawaii into the ground (like they do everywhere else). PROBLEM: Poor leadership. Corrupt government. Too many people. The state is a doormat for the Mainland to dump their homeless. Foreign investing has caused the price of real estate and the cost of living to become unaffordable for most locals. It's was a pristine place that has become a toxic financial mess. Good luck with the rail project (a financial black hole that probably won't be able to pay off the billions of dollars being spent on

info and weather - 1/26/2014
I need a place to live where my health can get better... low humidity, sunshine, 70-85. I'm looking 4 a small place 1 bd/1 bath, (or even an efficiency) not real fancy- but clean and in good condition. I need to have close access to a pool. also necessary for my health. I can't afford a high price of living, as I am on SSDI. I would hope that I could get an increase in my payments to keep up with the higher prices. It doesn't have to be Hawaii, but somewhere with the same weather stats.

Yup, It's an Island, Good and Bad... - 11/7/2012
I was born and raised in HI, spent 30 years there, and am part-Native Hawaiian. Ha, yes - island living is not for everyone. The good side: the weather is fantastic pretty much all the time, although warmer and more humid than CA (where I lived another 10 years). (Someone else on here complained about the lack of A/C - you're just too used to it. I didn't have A/C until I moved to the mainland. Open your windows, take advantage of those great tradewinds.) The people are nice and normal, it's pretty safe overall, and the food options are great (especially if you like asian cuisines - HI has the real deal). The beaches are beautiful, and there is greenery and birds around you everywhere. The people are tech-savvy and "wired". The majority are asian or part-asian - it's a pretty diverse and cosmopolitan place, but somewhat slanted towards asians.
That said, there is a bad side: it *is* an island. It's crowded, there are cars and people everywhere. It's expensive - you're
