Another awesome video from the local view and great for people considering a place that best meets their needs. Also as always, great video production!
It is not really expensive. Certain things are expensive . FOOD is expensive. Just don't eat out ! That is IT. Low homeowners and car insurance, low taxes. You do not buy clothes. Go to dry cleaner. You do not have to go to the movies or pay roe a gym membership. ALOHA!
Hawaii is the most expensive state in the country cost of living and taxes is the second highest in the country, and economic is one of the baddest in the country Hawaii has become the most expensive state in the country and economy growth is one of the lowest in the country, the only thing that Hawaii is relying on is the tourism nothing else, housing is on the top of the country that is higher than any state in America the only thing Hawaii has is the beauty of the island and that’s it, politicians only talk and lies to get elected and do nothing after that they are so brainwashed and deceiving people to believe what they say but don’t do anything to help the people prosperous, they have become so selfish only looking after their own family, you might need to do some research so you know how bad shape Hawaii is
Enjoy your video, looking to move there 2024 and attend the job expo, hoping I could get work might have issue's because of my age but I am a Senior and intend to live and die there no going back to NYC willing to do anything too live in paradise its worth the effort 🤙what do you think !! I carry Aloha spirit always people think I'm weird, Mahalo
very informative! awesome video! I loved how u showed different parts of Hawaii in the video instead of just talking and talking and talking in the basement like so many other youtubers lame posts.
idk, we don't need more people on the islands. the more people we attract to live here, the more expensive it gets. although these videos maybe beneficial for realtors with more and higher commissions, but negatively impact our native people being priced out of their own home.
3:17 "People are generous on Kauai because they got hit by a hurricane." This is a nonsensical comment. People of Kauai have been nice and giving because it is part of the culture. Having a low population there adds to the ability to be nice. When you have large populations of people, they tend to bump into each other and are more likely to be more disgruntled. The hurricane has little to do with it. It isn't like prior to the hurricane they were all a$$holes on kauai. I would know.
I am a local girl, 3rd generation born and raised. This is definitely the best Realty Video. Very refreshing to have a local girl explain about the islands in reality, not touristy. Mahalo Sista
The sales tax is around HALF of what it typically is in many states. (@4.712%) It doesn't assuage the dauntless, expense of everything, in Hawaii, but it could be twice what it is! 😳
What to know about moving to Hawaii--Oahu specifically? 1. Don't move there. It's not what it's cracked up to be. What Hawaii is sold as, and what it actually is, are worlds away. Visiting vs living there is also worlds away. Just...don't.
Okinawa is what Honolulu should be. I left Honolulu and moved to Japan and eventually retired in Okinawa. I never could afford this in Honolulu. Okinawa is what Honolulu was supposed to be before democrats and liberals ruined it. Walmart is closing soon and the entire downtown forth street mall is terrible and why I eventually left for japan.
Lived on 42nd floor in Waikiki! Best thing I've ever done! You forgot to Mention the very active volcano on The Big Island. The R.E. prices in Orange county, California are now Much higher than Oahu.
So the realtor says, we, our, gated communities, seems to be very little left for the native Hawaiian there, just bits and pieces of what is left of the lost hawaiian culture. Puerto Rico is slipping down the same slope and it is very sad.
Great overview Maila. Your knowledge of the outer islands is also extensive. Well done. I'm moving back to Honolulu from the mainland on March 2nd 2023.
Left So Cal and moved back to Honolulu in 2016, staying here for the rest of my life! Couldn't live anywhere else! Cali has surpassed the isles of a much higher cost of living, San Diego is no longer a bargain like it used to be.
Retired in NY, and hoping to get home one day. I never had to experience the expensive side of growing up in Honolulu, because I was a kid, but now as an adult I see. God Willing I'll be there soon. Keep up the great videos. They allow me opportunity to enjoy Home till I find a way back. Mahalo.
Believe it or not I was like I won’t shop at Whole Foods because it’s more expensive so I went to safe way, and I was like nope 👎 I went back to Whole Foods at Ala Moana and spend less than what I would have spend at Safeway
I LOVE Hawai -i .... And, I Love Her 2. i Think She Did A Marvelous Job On The Video ... T.V News Anchors Like .Peace .... Oyea'p ... Is That Type Of Blue Is Native Color Of Hawai'i?.
haven't visited the islands since the 70,s but heard at work the chinese bought up all the real estate in the 90,s. makes me wonder what happened to the natives of these islands. last i was there was native Hawaiians everywear now all i see is either European or Asians in walking videos
I didn't know hawaii had so many islands i thought it was just one small island where lepers whete sent but all island together is bigger then Scotland and England
Awesome video thanks for the info. Do you have any videos going more into detail on each island? With lots videos and photos? I will look anyway through your channel 😊. Thanks again !!!!
One thing I do know about Islands is for some reason you're really stuck on them and especially islands that are kind of far away like New Zealand and other places or other somewhat large islands like Britain or Japan is that if you're far away from a continent there are some advantages and disadvantages to and it seems to have a lot to do with the geography of places it really affects certain things regarding life a lot of people think that it's Paradise living in the Bahamas or something and wherever people are at whether it's New Zealand or something like that there are pet peeves about every place. And whether you live there for a long time or you're just visiting if you're really aware pay attention to detail and things like that you'll notice something familiar about certain Island areas and how the geography affect certain things regarding a lot of different varieties environmental angiography problems
@@mailagibson6787 if you shelter for me. I'll be their! I hunt the oceans, & hopefully theirs wild chickens still roaming the island. I also have my own trade that brings in money as well as a trust. Plus I'm very handy because I know just about ever trade. An open door brings much blessings. Let me know.
i'm planing to come to hawaii (somewhere in the next 4-5y) for an extra long stay cation (about 3-4 months) i'm looking very forward to that, any recommendations where to stay? i love the beaches und the lush vegetation of hawaii
Would love to move back to HI, but unsure what my purchasing power is. I’m an RN in the mainland and hoping pay is better there and can afford a descent home. How do I get a hold of you?
Our Prayers, Thoughts & Hearts go out to Hawaii .We encourage everyone to donate. Your videos are greatly appreciated. Very Nice, very professional. Do you think there are plans/possibility the commercial property (Ward Centre??) in front of Anaha (1108 Auahi) will be replaced with a high-rise or other structure? Curious if in the future the upper floors’ views of Anaha will be somewhat blocked. Again, THANK YOU!
8:55 I was on patrol one night when I got out of the elevator and saw this windy long black bug. I asked my coworker what it was and he said it was a centipede. They bite, he said, so stay away from it. It was huge.
I think I must have been an islander in a previous life! Lol. Back home in Missouri from a foiled vacation due to covid 9/2023 - however Kauai captured my heart - so many locals extended kindness and love, and my husband’s life was saved at Wilcox. I want to return to Kauai - I want to give back to those who cared for us.
Just left not the way it use to be. What she is showing. Oahu is over crowded over built and way too expensive. The water is no enough. And the other island at least a million for dissent house.
I enjoyed the video until you said not to live in Waikiki. I'd love to have a place towards the zoo. A little quieter but still walkable to everything.

I love Kihei! It’s so laid back there that people actually stop their cars for you and wave you to go when they have the right of way.
Awww. Kihei is awesome.
It is not really expensive. Certain things are expensive . FOOD is expensive. Just don't eat out ! That is IT. Low homeowners and car insurance, low taxes. You do not buy clothes. Go to dry cleaner. You do not have to go to the movies or pay roe a gym membership. ALOHA!
When over 80% of locals are on food stamps, OF COURSE it drives up food prices!

Yes!
Hmnnn… $8 for a gallon of milk? 😢I love your videos!
I can live with out milk for for chance to live In Hawaii
Great video! I thoroughly enjoyed listening to you break down the different islands and sections of Oahu. You have a great presence, as well.
If you are wondering if you can afford it…you can’t.
😬
I can
Work harder lazy weirdo 😴
Maybe
You can go there as a homeless person and live on just $300 per month.

How do one goes around the island
Hi. Was in Oahu last week and I saw they are building a Chick-fil-A 😂
#1 unlimited funds. It was ridiculously expensive when I lived there in the early nineties. I can’t imagine it got better.

how does the cost of living vary from SoCal? i’m assuming it’s pretty similar as both places are expensive in 2023.
Hilo.... Sleepy? 😂 I'll fall asleep in my car if this traffic jam doesn't move soon. This town is far from sleepy.
LOL!

Maui has Chick-fil-A.
Tysm I need a project done and this will probably help me this is really good tywm bye❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😅😂😮🎉😢
Dang i really want to go l live in Hawaii for a year 😭
Very fun and informative piece, thanks! As we consider moving to HI we really appreciate your insights.
My goal by Sept 2024
WE DON’T WANT NON-LOCALS MOVING TO HAWAII!
Rude
Not very smart either why would a local move there if they already lived there? @@Diamondusa7
we DO have chic fil a FINALLY!!!
“Outer-islands”? Hmmmmmmpf. Us “neighbor-islanders” take exception cuz it’s not all about Oahu…atleast through our lens😂
My bad. Common terminology here. Didn’t mean to offend anyone. Have a great day, neighbor!
She is right about being a trades man here in Hawaii. I am a plumber and I am busy. It is expensive but it is worth it for me.
Everywhere I ever lived, everyone spends everything they make anyway! At least, the young do, anyway. Hawaii was the first place that was worth it.
Very well made video, I am glad I stumbled upon it, I had a very enjoyable 12 minutes
Thank you!
Great video what a talent you are wasting your time selling houses, you should be on TV !
Haha!! Thanks…I think. 😂
Oahu north shore sounds great. Apartments? Small one bedroom homes? Aloha 🤙🏼🌺🤙🏼🌺 Mahalo
Would Hawaii be good for mobile disabled?
People are still drinking milk nowadays lol. Great review and ty
This is a really great overview.
Thank you so much!
All the islands are different from each other. You don't know until you go! I live on Big Island, the Volcano Island. 12 years on Kona coffee farm.
We get Chick fi le now and we have Raising Canes too on Maui.
What a lovely video, informative and heartfelt. May I ask where your dress is from? It looks beautiful. :)
Thank you! It’s from ZARA.
It’s funny how everyone complains about the traffic on Oahu I’ve never seen it. But I’m from Chicago
Believe it or not I was like I won’t shop at Whole Foods because it’s more expensive so I went to safe way, and I was like nope 👎 I went back to Whole Foods at Ala Moana and spend less than what I would have spend at Safeway
So true! Whole Foods isn't so bad and they have the best produce, other than farmer's markets.
@@mailagibson6787 yes ma’am
Chik fil a is now open - yeah
Yes! And I just saw another one coming soon in Kapolei.
I LOVE Hawai -i .... And, I Love Her 2. i Think She Did A Marvelous Job On The Video ... T.V News Anchors Like .Peace .... Oyea'p ... Is That Type Of Blue Is Native Color Of Hawai'i?.
Meth Heaven
Didn’t expect ac, milk, and roaches to be my hawaii deterrent
Thank you for sharing great information there in pardise..
You mention the big island a couple of times, what is the name of the big island?
Hawaii. Aka The Big Island of Hawaii or Hawaii Island.
Another great video, thank you! Also, so random but I LOVE your dress! That color is so flattering on you!
Informative and balanced review. Thank you 👍🏽
Thank you!
Great info! Btw love how u said “Wessside”! 😊
Hahaha!! Thanks. 😂
probably shouldn't tell people to move to the west side of Oahu....lol they might get fucked up just being real
Aloha also means goodbye
When I hit lottery here in Indy, I'll be looking in Haleiwa for real estate. I'm so ready to bodysurf in pipeline 4 footers.lol
What a great video to make you not want to live in Hawaii.
Haha might’ve saved you thousand$$!

Great question! I think our prices are no different from other big cities if you get your hair done in Honolulu.
You don't have Chic-fil-a because you're too much of a leftist state
there's a Chick-fil-A coming up the first one be patient

Can you speak about Rentals for elderly in Waikiki/Honolulu?
I live in Los Angeles, that traffic in Hawaii is considered light traffic in LA 😂
We are relocating as many as 10,000 homeless to the island of Oahu.
Thank you for the video. Currently saving up to move. I left my heart in Hawaii when i first visited.❤
Just left not the way it use to be. What she is showing. Oahu is over crowded over built and way too expensive. The water is no enough. And the other island at least a million for dissent house.

Beautiful there.
I wouldn't move back to Hawai'i if you gave me a home and a million dollars.
Why’s that ?
Why’s that
Good thing I don’t drink cow milk. 😅😅 Great vid! Very informational
I dislike Hawaii, so many people have to move elsewhere to afford to live.
I enjoyed the video until you said not to live in Waikiki. I'd love to have a place towards the zoo. A little quieter but still walkable to everything.
That's a nice little pocket for sure. Enjoy the parks and greenspaces on that side.
