    THANKS FOR STOPPING BY :)
    Every region has its advantages and disadvantages. Some cities or states have more pros than cons while some have more negative aspects than positive or desirable ones. Living in Hawaii is no different. You may like living in Hawaii or you may hate it.
    I personally love Hawaii. For me it is the perfect place :)
    I hope I could express some PROS and CONS of living in HAWAII :)
    If you have any questions about living in Hawaii :) feel free to leave a comment. I don’t know everything about life in Hawaii obviously, but I’ll be happy to give it a shot.
    MAHALO

    I from Hawaii, born and raised. Hawaii has it's perks and it's nice for a slow and easy living...however I got bored with it and I wanted to leave but no mater how hard I tried, I always seem to find my way back home...I joined the Army to get away from Hawaii...guess where my first duty station was...Hawaii, f*ck me, right?

  • @lavapix
    @lavapix 8 лет назад +136

    I don't think many who move here realize just how expensive it is to live/survive in Hawaii.
    Come here with lots of cash in the bank or the willingness to work 3 jobs.
    Sometimes both depending on the lifestyle you hope to live.
    You learn to do without many things you once thought were important.
    As long as you have a car, surfboards and a roof over your head, all is good.
    Oh wait, don't surf. Surfing sucks.
    Beware, there is a shortage of affordable rentals.
    The good ones never see craigslist.
    Nice video....

    • @lavapix
      @lavapix 8 лет назад +7

      $1200 - $1400 a month for a 1 br on The Big Island Kona side. Most cheap ones are slumlords or dumps. You live here long enough and you recognize them on craigslist. honolulu.craigslist.org/search/big/apa

    The thing that bothers me the most is the about people like this, who
    move to Hawaii. Military families included is the fact that no one
    bothers to talk about the Hawaiians. Our history and culture are being
    destroyed and looked over. These people from the mainland, Asia and the
    world love to talk about aloha. Thinking that watching Lilo and Stitch
    means they know the meaning. People want to live in 'paradise' so they
    move to a chain of islands with limited land. The true Hawaiians and
    natives of the land have always been pushed to the sidelines, with less
    access to better school. The Hawaiians have no way to own a home on
    their own lands because foreigners with more money or opportunities
    drive up the cost of living. Then once they get a Hawaii ID, they go on
    to talk about being 'kama'aina' a Hawaiian word meaning children of the
    land when they have no right to this title. They use this to get
    discounts at stores that offer a kama'aina discount. I am not oppose to
    foreigners who respect Hawaiian history and culture, who give back to
    Hawaii. I respect the tourist who come and visit, who explore and enjoy.
    I guess my point is that not enough people know Hawaiian history and
    how Hawaiians are still being affected today.

      I was asked if I was kama'aina I declined but I started talking to her cos she was super cute. she ended up giing me the discount I am not even a resident of Hawaii :D my hawaiian friends were pissed because they actually looked hawaiian but they didn't get the discount they didnt ask :D that was funny

    • @johnNYgoesLA
      @johnNYgoesLA 7 лет назад +1

      @disorderlyteen I like Hawaiians like you! I agree. However I believe many hawaiians dont know enough about their own culture and language. For example why is it so common to misspronounce hawaiian words? Like Māʻili. Why do ppl prounouce it like Miley? I can't say it right cos my friends will look at me like I have no right to speak hawaiian cos I am haole.

    • @disorderlyteen
      @disorderlyteen 7 лет назад +4

      Language evolves, much like how hello turned into hi, brother into bro.
      Most people who grow up in Hawaii and attend public school are required to learn state history. They grow up learning about how a few rich westerners gather together and imprisoned the last Queen of Hawaii. How the monarchy was slowly stripped of its power. How these westerners passed voting laws that prevented most native Hawaiians from even being able to vote for their own leaders. It also doesnt help that westerners brought sickness that wiped out more than half of the Hawaiian people. I am not saying that its okay to look at you funny because you choose to say Hawaiian words correctly, I personally appreciate it. It shows that you took the time to learn.

    • @johnNYgoesLA
      @johnNYgoesLA 7 лет назад +3

      Thanks. When I said culture I meant stuff like polynesian navagation, growing crops the old way, eating traditional foods etc. I know the story of Queen Lili... Such a dark chapter. Honestly it makes me sad. I found a T-Shirt that I bought the first time I was on the islands... I never had a close look at it until recently when I realized that it says HAWAII - est 1959... Isn't that offensive? I whish Hawaii was a sovereign nation again, but I also realize the benefits that come with being part of the USA.

      MMA Expert It's always nice when people chase happiness, and even better when they find it, but I ultimately couldn't give two shits one way or the other. The fact is that the OP's plans sound like a recipe for becoming a bum in Hawaii.
      That said, do you need me to draw you picture in crayon or do you think you can process logic beyond the 2nd grade? Rhetorical question (that means you don't need to answer) given your user name. Maybe I can help with puppets. Would you like that?

    @Fanny-vt2zw 8 лет назад +195

    They are kicking us out of our home :( Reality is that the kids here will have to move out of the state to make it in life. Its just sad to me because Oahu is home to me, but it shouldn't matter what the people want since the government will keep moving to kick the locals out of the islands.

      i know exactly what you mean... /: i recently moved to utah but was born and raised, and lived in Hawaii for 13 years. In reality if you want a good education, good occupation you seriously need to get off that rock and find a bigger place to live. Theres not a whole lot of oppurtunities to be successful in Hawaii.

      I agree. Grew up in Maui. Best times of my early life. My parents moved back to Cali and I had to choose at 19 what I would do. I didn't have family or connections in a hotel or whatever and didn't see prospering in a plate lunch place I was working and selling pot was just for fun. LOL. Many moons passed and now I have a contracting/construction business and hope to save up for a while and will try to go back and retire in Hawaii one day. Hawaii is the best. I didn't realize what it meant to be Filipino till I moved there. Hawaii showed me how to respect family, friends, land, and how to fight. Made most of who I am today.

    My mom was adopted when she was one, and her family moved her to Honolulu right after. She lived there until she was sixteen. It makes me really sad that it's so commercialized and touristy. Mom told me that even in the 60's, the culture was fading. Like the American Indians/Native Americans (depending on what you call the native mainlanders), they were kind of kicked out. Why did the Europeans do that? I'm not blaming all of you. But they took away so many people's homes to brag about how much land they owned.
    Sometimes I'm embarrassed by my own species. Is that wrong?

    I believe this was a great video for her perspective. I don't think she was trying to fight our battle for Hawaiian rights for this video. It isn't just transplants that make traffic difficult. We have to take some responsibility for allowing our land to be bought up by outsiders, allowing our aina to be overdeveloped, etc.. We can't continue to blame "others". Having Hawaiian blood and most of my ohana still lives on island and half have never left.. I say this was a fair assessment of Da Bus and traffic not to mention the cost. Good and fair video.

    @AGC828 7 лет назад

    People not from Hawaii usually have an idealized view of what it's like to live in Hawaii. I think from watching American television shows like Magnum PI (depending how old you are) to Hawaii 5-0. To various films about the surfing culture. Which almost never shows you the bad (e.g. homelessness, high cost of living...).
    People either go for the water sports if young or to retire there if they can afford the mega-mansions on beach.
    What could be better than, for retirees (with deep pockets), to wake up in their dream home along one of the many beautiful beaches. Or sit watching the gorgeous sunsets, palm trees swaying, tiki torches burning...waking up to the sound of the surf...blue waters, blue skies (summer). Vs. living in the suburbs or in an urban area facing condos and corporate buildings.
    But there is also the "Aloha Spirit". Most people getting along well. Willing to help each other. Especially if you're a person of colour. Very little racism (esp for Asians...what little there is might be directed at white people by the less fortunate...usually homeless people..always shouting to white people about how they took their land). But most every one gets along well. More so than in other states or provinces (Canada).
    Interesting there are no RUclips videos made by professionals who moved to Hawaii (e.g. doctors, lawyers....). People already established financially/job. College educated.

    Heres some cons from a local....Note....hawaii has.....A TON of TRAFFIC (2ND worst in the nation), A TON of Homeless people (there are actually communities of tents), a TON of immigrants (1/2 the population are FOB Chinese and/ or Filipino), A TON of tourist everywhere, Extremely high cost of living, WEAK ass State Government, Lots of Drug use (one of the worst ice use in the nation), shipping items to Hawaii normally cost and arm and a leg, one of the worst Road conditions), EXTREMELY over populated (on the island of oahu), A LOT of violent crimes lately, And over all poor grade school education ratings (one of the worst in the nation). Oh and did I mention a TON OF TRAFFIC!!
    Not saying everything is bad in Hawaii....those are just a few things to think about before moving or visiting here. I'm born and raised on the island of Oahu, but Hawaii has changed negatively, especially the last 10-15 years.

    My girlfriend and I just came back from shooting in Hawaiʻi and we loved that they respect the environment so much, like no plastic bags, lots of electric cars, clean beaches, fines for smoking etc. And we actually took the bus pretty often but we thought it was okay! It took us to the most beautiful places in Hawaiʻi Kai and up to Kailua, and a friend took us to the North Shore in his car :) It just takes ages!! You should try the bus on Maui, the system only covers a small part of the island and the stops are miles apart (and again, super slow). Still Hawaiʻi is one of our favourite places :)

    if you're going to stay any length of time in Hawaii get a Hawaiian driver's license the prices will drop tremendously. in a lot of cases tourists pay the price that they see on the label. while locals get a discount that's what the driver's license is for. use a friend's address as your address in Hawaii. assuming you have a friend that lives in Hawaii.

    Born and raised on the west side of oahu!! Hawaii is amazing for all of its beauty, family life, and culture. But as for living, it is just way too expensive. Alot of locals move off island because they cant afford hawaii. It is a safe place to live and so beautiful but as far as opportunities, we're limited unless you fly off island. However, this place is definitely what I call home. My whole family and life is here and when im on a trip away from hawaii, i really do see why this place is home😊

    According to the 2010 census, the racial and ethnic breakdown of Honolulu was:
    Asian: 54.8%
    White: 17.9%
    Black or African American: 1.5%
    American Indian or Alaska Native: 0.2%
    Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander: 8.4%
    Other race: 0.8%
    Two or more races: 16.3%
    Hispanic or Latino of any race: 5.4%
    By comparison, the population of Honolulu in 1970 was 34% white and 54% Asian and Pacific Islander.
    Asian Americans are the majority in Honolulu. The largest ethnic
    groups include Japanese (20%), Filipinos (13%), Chinese (10%), Koreans
    (4%), Vietnamese (2%) and Asian Indians (0.3%). Those of just Native
    Hawaiian ancestry are just 3.2% of the population today. Samoan
    Americans account for 1.5% of Honolulu's population, Marshallese people
    account for 0.5% and Tongan people make up 0.3% of the population.
    Hawaii is the only U.S. state with an Asian majority.

However it made me laugh about how the bus takes so long, because when I was attending college there my professor would legit just be 45 minutes late and it was acceptable. Island time is something to get used to, and everyone seems to be on this slow lifestyle. It is amazing though and I suppose its a small price to pay for the beauty.
