Lovely yet Not Affordable
-

I was born and raised here. I left about 6 years ago; things were expensive then, but not really bad ie: You could buy a house for around 300K. Checking out the prices now, a 2 bedroom ordinary house costs over 600K. Groceries are more expensive than on the mainland US since most products are shipped or flown in. If it weren't so expensive, I'd move back in a heartbeat. Besides the cost of living there the weather is fabulous: warm summers and really mild winters, rain once in a while. But when it rains, it pours expecially on the windward side of the island.
