Outrageously Expensive, Horrible place to live

I’ve lived in Honolulu for over 40 years and watched a mediocre city decline until it’s nearly a 3rd world destination. Unbelievably expensive (one of the top 4 most expensive destinations in the USA, hot and sticky humid every day, all roads clogged with traffic (like Los Angeles at its worst), hostile residents (everyone who lives here hates anyone not born & raised in Hawaii), and one of the worst public school systems in the nation.
To be fair the beaches are some of the best in the world. Unfortunately all beaches are packed with people all the time. And there is really nothing else to do here if you aren’t a beach fan. Hawaii isn’t “paradise” anymore. Average vacation choice but not somewhere you want to live.
