Not paradise in Hawaii

I have been stationed here for 3 years due to my husband being military. I can not wait to leave. While weather is great and there are some beautiful places, I can do without it. There are definately more cons than pros. Like the traffic is a mess, alot of Hawaii is ghetto (very shady places), covered with homeless people at redlights, the "locals" are rude and working outside the military bases is virtually impossible due to being a haole (or a white person). My experience with working here was a nightmare, many locals are very racist against military. While my child will be born here, I never plan on returning here again. I do not advise anyone on "living" out here, visiting may be great, but living long term is a huge disappointment. Hawaii may have been a great paradise years ago, but it is full of dumpy cities with rude people now, not a paradise.
