I think many watch your videos because they can identify with and understand the lower income areas more than the fancy, expensive places. yeah, it's nice to see beautiful, expensive neighborhoods. But that feels out of reach for many. The "run down" places just seem more real.
I can't handle the islands and Honolulu OAHU IS NOT THE BIGGEST OR LARGEST ISLAND ITS THE BIG ISLAND HAWAII,🎉HAWAII..GO BAC WHERE U CAME FROM AND TAKE YOUR FRIENDS WITH U PLEASE,HAWAII IS FOR HAWAIIANS NOT MAINLANDERS
People please do fact check. These places he showed are not the ghetto. It’s a part of the island of Oahu where us blue collar people live. Have some respect. Aloha 🤙🏽
Tell you what, leave all your valuable belongings in your car, and leave your car there for 24 hrs with the windows down. Let me know if its ghetto or not.
I just left town. I lived near Central Middle school.. once my daughter got out of the nightmare called Royal she was set to go to Central. I got the f*** out of Hawaii. I'm not putting her through that.
Our views are from the Outside of the housing, so many different lives and different situations with in the homes that are good and bad, just like everywhere. There is also prejudice every where, every Country, every state, every city, every town. So Hawaii isn't any different, and people who vacation here hopefully aren't so blind that they don't realize that poverty exists everywhere. I think we need to focus on fighting drugs and alcohol abuse, mental Illness etc, these things are very connected to helping create poverty. Thanks for doing this video and sharing it with us ❤🙏
@@88amona For me, a former Floridian, it is sad to leave what was once paradise. The tourism factories (corporations) came in a took away the beauty. I know we used to complain about the snowbirds but I know they provided income for many. I feel your pain for having to leave to go to another place. Hopefully not LA of Vegas. You might be going from bad to worse. Best of luck and hope you are living the life you want outside of where you were.
Half barrel buildings are Quonset huts…used extensively around WW2 by the military. We spend $3400 for a 650 sq foot house with no yard. Location is good, but not possible to make it here. Impossible for the true Hawaiian citizens to make it here.
I live in Hawaii. A lot of these homes in Waianae and other parts you visited cost upwards of 700k-1 million depending on how close it is to town. So it might look ghetto on the outside, but the people who own the land might have a million dollar net worth on paper due to their house and very low property taxes that allow them to stay. You have middle class and even upper middle class living alongside people living below the poverty line who are renting section 8 or stay with family in their already paid off homes. That's why you see a lot of nice lifted trucks parked in front of a 1 story run down 2bed build half a century ago. I'm an electrician in the union, journeyman pays around 120k a year full time and a lot of my coworkers live Waianae or kalihi. There's a lot of violence compared to the rest of the island but nowhere near as bad as the rough neighborhoods in cali.
Exactly. If someone wanted out of Hawaiian "slums" they could literally sell their property and get a million and live like a king in a cheaper state like West Virginia for example with low cost of living!
@@juliemanarin4127 the culture is different on mainland. They might speak the same language but it's like telling an American to move to canada or Australia. Most people who move come back. A lot of times they're successful by working and saving on the mainland and come here to buy a house.
🤬💬 If you look at his other videos, Clips. As he makes his rounds around the island, he's only looking for negative, and stays focus. On people's hardship, nothing but negative criticism. He gives the island people, not places or things. Can you see or hear him say anything positive about anything? This is why (Howley's or White's) are disliked. or should I say? Hated? It's people like him and other youtubers that go there and criticize people's hardship, but he's the worst. He mentioned he's from North Carolina. Too bad he didn't make any of those remarks out loud or the local people: would have shin checked him and gave him another permanent scar. , he'll put his wife's in danger over there, or somewhere else. they'll see this video and remember. Him You'll see him on the local or national news. And those are some Mighty. big boys and girls. Those girls would have had his wife join the party, too. When I was there, there was a military white guy. And 2 blacks White. look identical like that Russian guy who fought Rocky in the movie. Me and 2 local girls we were in Kaneohe in oahu. That white dude started talking S💩 putting the 2 girls down with F#%? Up Jokes. for no reason, so I put him down with a few of my own. The girl. started laughing, and so did his military Black buddies at the end. I said to him, "How do you like me now?" He automatically wanted to fight. He stood around (6'3"=250)he looks like a weight lifter. I'm(5'11"= 195. At the time I said to him, let it go. We're out to have a good time He said no. I'm about to F#%? U up"?!! So I started removing my shirt off. My body is blasted with tattoos from head toe. His 2 black friends seen all my tattoos & said oh your from the hood then told him he was on his own. I told him I'm not from here. I'm from California. I made a quick prayer to the Lord to see me through this He was big and healthy.💪 So we squared up. I faked I was going to throw a punch Instead i kick him in his nuts. Wrap my legs behind his legs and flip him At the same time with my hand Pushing up on his throat As I pushed him Backwards to the ground. I allowed him to get back up and ask him did he have enough. He said no"!! So I did the same Thinking he wasn't going to expect that again.and got him back on the ground again this time. I kicked him few times in his ribs and in his head. I asked him. Did he have Enough he said yes.🥹 He asked Why were we fighting"😵💫? If he only knew. What I knew What I had learned. from older brother Held two different degrees of black belt & new tyboxing are dad. Also, he trained us in boxing, He learned that before going to the Marines, we lived in the hood. So for old (Nicky,) it just a matter of time, somebody will hear him or remember him from videos, he makes And the sad thing is that his wife is going to pay for his Stupidity.🥴💥👊🏿✌️ Out.
My Nana was born in Hawaii and raised in Kalihi was in that neighborhood and was there Pearl Harbor time I miss the family bbq's short rib, mac salad w/sticky rice :(
@@RaveN_EDM I live in Makaha and saw a lot for sale that’s 100ftx150ft for $900K! Big enough to put a two room tent on! Nowhere near enough for a home. I couldn’t believe almost a million bucks for a tiny lot!
@@jeffrobodine8579 and I'll take the one that's literally as far away as possible, AND located in paradise. Enjoy Gary? P.S., not everyone is as led by the hivemind and chooses florida 2.0, aka Maui. Lava does a good job at ensuring the plague of modernity doesn't spread too far.
@@Kaleki935 Lava is only on the Big Island since it’s the youngest island with active volcanos. Yes, our slums definitely are waaaay better than eating pagpag in the Philippines 😢
I agree. I'm in Los Angeles, Cali. And the so called slums of Hawaii are far more pleasant and still a paradise in comparison to the many areas in Southern and Northern Cali. Downtown LA is uninhabitable with homelessness and drugs all over.
It takes money and time to fix up a house, money and time these people don't have. Local people also have the attitude of by 'n by. They are just enjoying life the way it is.
well remember now, just about EVERYTHING comes from offshore; construction materials, cars, clothing, MOST foodstuffs, basic necessities, electronics, books, luxury goods…you name it, it’s coming from somewhere ELSE. shipping costs have skyrocketed too. & the public transportation system is a killing joke. in terms of livelihood you have tourism, construction trades, education system (ANOTHER grim joke over there), the military, corporate agriculture & criminal activity. not much else. 🫤
The reason the house was up high on blocks, is because they are planning to put legs underneath it. Doing so will make their flood and possibly even fire damage insurance a lot cheaper. You can see this kind of construction all along the Texas Coastal Bend region, but very popular driving from Aransas Pass, all over Rockport - Fulton, houses all around Copano Bay, Lamar, and Holiday Beach. The poor find it much cheaper to not make improvements to their property or their neighborhood, which helps them to avoid higher property taxes and may even help them out getting charity. Screwing the entitlement system is a real problem and more should be done to disqualify many who are professional freeloaders. In my neighborhood, I routinely go on walks with a trash bag and pick up trash. Today, I helped two neighbors trim their trees using my equipment. I even got a free beer out of the deal. But I care about how my neighborhood looks and I do a lot to help it look fantastic, even scatter grass seed in bare spots. So, my point is, that a neighborhood is only as good as the people who live there. They obviously could be doing something to make it look better if they really cared.
Not just people who live there but the landlords. Some tenants don't want it to get fixed up because that would mean they need to move out and that's what's going to happen once they get most places renovated. Do you own your home?
@@house_greyjoy absolutely. You aren't going to believe this, but I realized what you shared and came back to add it to my comment. Property owners; especially land lords benefit from a crappy looking property, because it does save them on property value taxes. I'm a minimalist, so I do own, but nothing showy. I keep it clean, nice, but not to show off. There is no trash in my neighborhood or unkept looking places, because I make sure of it and people routinely cut their lawns. We all could do more to beautify the world. I can't begin to count how many trees I've planted or seeds I've scattered.
@@WilliamCooper-l6f Anyone that owns a home, that improves it, will have their property taxes increase. In my city they actually have a 'right' to inspect inside properties and rate everything. If you put in an expensive kitchen, bathroom, improve the finishes....your property taxes are going up. Any improvement, inside or out, including yards, may/will increase your property value, which increases your property taxes. It's a Catch-22.
I've figured out how to work the system... through utube videos🎉 my paperwork/online game is legit son... Now I'm tax free and income of 53,000 plus medical and housing...I quit my damn job and retired. Good luck friends more and more are following our path.😊
it’s really not so much about “standing their ground” as practicality. say you sell you plot for even THREE mil? THEN what? buy ANOTHER place? 3 mil wouldn’t last a family of even FOUR very long out there. move to VEGAS & work in “hospitality industry”? ugh, probably doing that already & at least it’s in fresh air with sweet beaches & family & friends all around & a culture they understand. these ppl are TRAPPED. & now with climate destruction wreaking havoc just about EVERYWHERE on the planet, why die of heat & thirst in the desert. “standing their ground”; you make one funny joke there buggah. 😹
I think it's funny that the BBC published an article about natives hating outsiders. The BBC once sent a correspondent to Hawaii, named James Cook. Someone had a sense of humour...
Epic video! It's cool to see the world inside out. When Steve told me you guys were doing this video I was pumped. Steve is a great dude, best friends for 40 years. I'm glad you guys got to meet and do something so epic. Much love, God bless.
My father left a farm in North Carolina and joined the Army in the 1930s. They stationed him in Hawaii. I was born in 1970, he told me that he didn't serve anyone. He loved his country, but hated the military, because he watched them collapse the Kingdom of Hawaii in his lifetime.
I was born and raised here in Hawaii, in Kaawa to be exact but I can honestly say that this place is just getting worse and worse. So many people are being priced out of paradise and some that are more unfortunate and can't save the money up to even leave just become homeless. The state and county are some of the most corrupt in the nation. My hometown hasn't changed much but everywhere around me has. The places I used to have fun as a kid have turned into crime hotspots, people are more violent now, crime is on the rise, local businesses are closing hourly, and it's all going to shit.
I left Hawai'i in 2010 & never went back. Born on Maui & lived on Big Island, O'ahu & Kauai😢 I can't afford to live at home anymore 😩 I got tired of the struggle 😞
Feel Ya, Sis! Left in '13 after 18 years... traded it in for Florida, which was not such a good trade-off, especially now that it's also starting to become too costly to live here, but is a cesspool of blind Right-Wing cult worship.
my heart breaks for you brother really & TRULY. got a brother-in-law & his family there with 2 female teens (i’m a “calabash uncle” i guess) who works as an aviation mechanic. they bought awhile ago, have a nice property with a LOT of “sweat equity” & i honestly don’t know how they do it. but i’ve seen many of my wife’s cousins & nephews have to move stateside. it’s obscene. 🤙🏽
Everyplace has its ghettos. There’s also a lot of nice neighborhoods too. There are a lot of high schools ranked top 2000 out of 25,000 schools in the nation, so must not be that bad to raise a family here.
In Hawaii it is very common for many generations to live under one roof. Husband and wife with their 20 something year old son and his girlfriend with their small children all living in one house... Sometimes one of the wife's or husbands parents live with them too.. generally it is these 20 or 30 something year olds living rent free in their parents homes who drive the nice lifted expensive new Toyota trucks and SUVs
Most of these single family homes he drove by cost over 700k. It might look like a dump but land is very expensive. Looks like a ghetto until you realize that there's a 40k truck parked in front of a 700k house and the guy living there might be a electrician or carpenter making over 100k a year.
You would be surprised that despite how run down many of these communities look, the people who live there are very close to one another and often look out for each other. It’s not as “lawless” as you might think it is. This is coming from someone who grew up in these places. It’s sad that we all have to struggle but when you struggle together, you make lots of family and many of which may not even be related to you. I would do it all over again if I had a choice.
People are so distracted with their cells , be careful. Then get the tourist who get mesmerized by the mountains and cross the center line. True story.
I’ve seen houses on Freeport Bahamas with junk cars on blocks in the front yard. The street was one block from a beautiful azure blue ocean. Even if you’re poor you can at least pick up a broom and clean up your environment.
Born and raised Oahu, 47 years old grew up in EWA Plantation now living in KAPOLEI. This is the Waianae Coast, rich in land and look at the beautiful Waianae mountain range! You were right when you said these are the last ones holding out. It appears they’re trying to turn West Side like how East Side Hawaii Kai and Hawaii Loa Ridge is. So glad you captured all this‼️ In years to come, it’ll turn gentrified. Sad. Mahalo Nick 👋🏽
Wow good point! Hopefully not ever get gentrified. But the city/county looks at places like this and thinks to clean it up /gentrify if the residence /owners don’t do it themselves. They’ll think oh let’s help save this neighborhood and pay off the owners- lay out the blueprint of the cost to fix it up or give them an option to sell it. If an option is provided that is… I’ve seen the very thing happen in my old neighborhood. It was the only block in the city that was ghetto and marked with red at the police station as the most unsafe- but it wasn’t that bad at all for us in socal.
I hope that Waimanalo is still safe. A lot of homestead houses are there and if the Hawaiians are smart, they keep the place safe. You don;t want to turn Waimanalo into a ghetto. My family has a large farm there, since 1948, but the lease will end in a few years. More houses will be built. The people living there will make or break Waimanalo.
@@user-wy1dl2me2p Quonsets are quite a bit bigger, & made of reinforced corrugated steel. Are these inspired BY Quonsets, or the inspiration FOR Quonsets? Either way, they're just Huts.
I had a great time hanging out with you Nick. Even though I've been here for 15 years, I still got to see a lot of things I've never seen, and I learned some new things too. Like those types of houses are called Quonset homes, or huts.
First off, those are old military Quonset huts. Some are quite clean on the inside. My mom was a single parent with 4 kids close in age. I worked from the age of 14 as did my siblings. We went to public schools in rough neighborhoods. We lived way in the rainforest. I worked on the beaches and Kuhio Park terrace. Low income housing. Hawaii was my home. Island education isn’t available to all after high school. I went to the mainland to get a further education and married an Alaskan and didn’t go home. My husband wouldn’t get a good job in the islands. My sister and brother in law got their mainland education and went home. My brother in law is part Hawaiian. He did have a tough time getting a job that paid generously. My sister worked hard as a teacher. Many Ohana either work for the government or tourist industries. Neither pay that well. Things cost lots of money but this is the home of my friends, family and classmates. They work the best they can and know how to survive. They love their aina. I miss and love the islands. I have many Ohana in the islands. There is always crime there but Oregon isn’t any better. Very expensive too. Our house was bought in OR for 36 thousand and now worth 1/2 a million. My sister’s house is now worth a million now. Food expensive here. More expensive in Hawaii. Mainland food is shipped in. There is always living on local food. Ohana here and there learn to survive.
Born and raised in Hawaii. Grew up on the Waianae side. The west side has always been one of the many the low-income areas of the island. I graduated 1988 and went into the navy. I just had to get away from there. Some of the people I grew up love that side, and will never leave, but back then it wasn't as bad as it is now. It has REALLY gone down hill with the homelessness, and even-lower-than-before income that a lot of people live with now. It went from being a shit town to an even shitter town over the last three or four decades. Waianae - "Why-ah-nye" or "Why-nye" Nye as in Bill Nye Waipahu - "Why-pa-hoo" Wahiawa - Wah-he-ah-wah Kalihi - "Kah-lee-he" And it's Mayor Wright housing. Not Major Wright. Named after one of the Mayors from a long time ago.
Born n raised too. I went back the last 3 years and took my kids and left because hell no I'm putting him through todays Hawaii and the DOE. I was giggling at his words to But close enough. His tone is actually more respectful during this video than the other videos. But he gave some cold hard facts. I know many people don't really want to go to Hawaii anymore. Hawaii was different 20 years ago
Thank you for your service. Born and raised in ewa beach and still here. Much has progressed here in the ewa plains but of course like all things hawaii it’s expensive to live here. Next to bad governing and politics the natives sure make it worse. Anti American agenda makes me feel like an outsider or a true haole. Vow to never leave the islands because of my fondness but when shit hits the fan with the natives will have to move. Being born here makes me an American, however they claimed Hawaii isn’t American but rather forced. So what does that make me? Hawaiian? Instead of rising up and making their land a beautiful place to live for their families they choose to fight an unending winless fight. And that’s why they don’t progress.
Same story as you, I grew up waianae, makaha to be exact, graduated from waianae highschool and joined the navy. Did my time and wanted to move back to hawaii.. decided not to because of the cost of living.
did that cartoon just say “i can make them all my nannie’s and house keepers “? brah take that Hawai’i t-shirt off. idk where you come from, but you don’t go to someone’s else’s home walk in and tell them it’s shit.
I was blessed to visit Hawaii twice both times to Oahu and The Big Island. Once in the mid-90s and then again in 2002. The first trip was for a travel magazine touting the first 747 service from New York City to Oahu non-stop. First class. The one and only time I've been on first class. And it was plush. Upon landing in Oahu I stayed at a major hotel and given a tour of many tourist sites and a helicopter ride, etc. But I was fortunate to meet up with a local who worked at the hotel during my downtime. We clicked and she took me to her neighborhood, which looks a lot like one of "the hoods" full of native Islanders. We went to a local eatery and played pool and went bowling. And honestly it was the best time I had after spending so much time in tourist traps and high-end places. Being able to meet with and talk to people who live work a day lives on an expensive island that caters to tourism is really eye-opening. You see everything from a different perspective. During my 2002 trip again I went to some of the tourist spots like Mauna Kea and Pearl Harbor, but also went with a colleague in the same industry I was in who worked locally, and we went to Costco of all places that had just opened on the island. And it was a traffic jam of humanity there. And one of the things I remember was being able to buy macadamia nuts dirt cheap compared to the mainland. And what they call "a plate lunch" that they even had at McDonald's - choice of protein (teriyaki beef or kalua pork), two scoops of rice, and a scoop of macaroni salad. 😁 Beautiful people and beautiful scenery, rich culture. Even in the most humble of places.
You need to know that many of the poor areas you showed are called Hawaiian Homelands. Available for Hawaiian people only. The houses and land are long-term leases. People who live there cannot sell them for a million bucks. There is a very long waiting list to get into one of these properties---like 20-30 years.
Kahili?!!?!?!? It is pronounced KA Lee hee. You clearly didn't bother doing your homework before filming. You ought to be EMBARRASSED of yourself! You are a prime example of someone who doesn't IMMERSE yourself in your work. Leave Hawaii and never come back!
I lived in a Wainanae Quonset hut in the mid 70's ,$60 a month, free pakalolo and Hawaiian music from my neighbors. Lualualei Valley. I may have seen the street in this video.
You keep saying Asian or Filipino. Many of the families living in public housing, or areas like Waipahu, are Micronesian. And you’re 100% correct about colonization. If the federal government pulled out of Hawaii, it’d be third world in about 6 months.
Hawaii is a MELTING POT actually. Also a lot of Military bases = A lot of Military families all around and Veterans that retire here if they can afford it.
If it reminds you of native American Indian reservation slums, the situation is similar. The natives get displaced and their lands stolen, resulting in...
It will never get better. This was there plan and it all started with covid. People will lose there minds when it all goes down. I pray for us all. Enjoy your life today. New world order.
@@donedeal8385 It's still the same, with enough money you can buy whatever you want and I mean whatever. Diddy tried convincing everyone he had talent but deep down you knew he was a dirtbag and guess what time revealed.
Born and raised in Hawaii, 50+ years. Great video, but I gotta correct you on some stuff. It’s Kalihi, you keep saying Kahili. It’s Mayor, not Major, Wrights Housing. It’s Mo’iliili, not Molili. Don’t worry, haoles always mispronounce Hawaiian names. You are so right about how crime is getting worse, and many locals are moving to Vegas. I still remember going to grade school and talked about kill haole day, but it was more of a joke. IMO Bad places: Waianae, Nanakuli, Waipahu, Kalihi. IMO Good places: Hawaii Kai area, Aiea, Pearl City, Salt Lake. Homeless and crime are getting worse. Living in Hawaii is very expensive. It was a lot simpler and safer when there were less people living here. Mahalo for coming to Hawaii and showing what tourists don’t see. I love your videos!
My grandparents lived in Kalihi and now in Nanakuli. They’re thinking of selling but I’m convincing them not to. I’m from the mainland and I love visiting there whenever we vacation. They’re so close to Ko Olina and they built a whole area with Starbucks and L&L!
Wow, “kill Haole day”, haven’t heard that in a long time. Went Kapaa high on kauai. They were nice enough to give me couple days warning, and I wasn’t raised by no dummy, I’d be sure to skip school that day. And then there was the nickname “shark bait” i took that stuff seriously, till this day i wont set foot in the ocean. I’m still here, but i married a Haole, go figure.
"Humans" might appear to be gender neutral at first but upon closer inspection it's CIS gender biased language and should be "humyns" or perhaps "persons." No, "persyns."
In 2001, I moved to Washington state right after the teacher strike. You could say Cayetano drove me to leave. Lol Leaving Honolulu was the best move that I have ever made. I was born and raised in Makiki. When lived in Honolulu, I had a one-bedroom apartment on Pensacola St. which costed me $164,000 in 1990. In Wasington, I bought 2 houses. Now, I live in Bellevue equal to Kahala or Hawaii Kai. Honolulu's tax base is so small. I was sick of educators getting no respect, similar to what cops are getting in Democrat run cities.
Most people in public housing are working full time. You'll find a lot of Hawaiian Micronesians and Samoans. They work really hard just to maintain their existance.
@@GNMi79 The opportunities are better in Hawaii but their original lifestyle was better back in their own countries. The American lifestyle is often traumatizing for them and they're over represented in the prison systems and homeless shelters in the islands. They are communal people. They'll borrow their American neighbors things and then be shocked when they're arrested for theft.
@patriciaanndemello4652 there are many peoples, often not of Caucasian descent, that don't do well in Western Civilization. They do better in the ways of their ancestors
This is so sad. 😢 I've been warning all my friends about what's been happening to Hawaii since 2013! This is what humans do to one of the most beautiful places on Earth, and it's horrible to see parts of the island in such distress! 😱🙏🏻😢
My dad was in the Navy and was stationed there in 1962... Just after he served in the Bay of pigs.... I remember going in one of those half barrel houses, vaguely, on the military base in Honolulu Hawaii... I loved being there as a little kid... I would walk around barefoot, which I wouldn't do here in New Jersey.... I remember shopping at the wigwam.... I started kindergarten there and my teacher's name was Mrs. fujimoto...Our family came back to the mainland in 1966, Lakehurst naval Base New Jersey, to be closer to our relatives... My father served in the Vietnam Nam war twice when he was serving in Lakehurst, NJ. I guess living in Hawaii wasn't too expensive to live in at the time because we lived in the military housing.... We liked living there, and didn't want to leave.... We had these lizards that would live underneath our refrigerator and they would come out and greet me often....🌴🏝️🦎 We had banana and coconut trees in our yard, and a nice Bush of Jasmine...
05:30 these are Quonset huts that have been modified into houses. They built these in Nebraska’s panhandle as well as a way to try to make affordable housing in the 40s. They are still living in a few of them in Scottsbluff in 2024. One just sold for around 115,000 I believe (although it is very much remodeled and nice on the inside).
32:00 Good on you for saying it. Also, most of the people claiming "Hawaiian" blood here aren't even "Hawaiian" but Micronesian/Samoan and Filipinos some of them change their names, have met a lot of whites who changed their names to Hawaiian sounding ones lol.. There are of course, no "Native Hawaiians" only Polynesians who settled here.
Dear Nick, Thank a lot for the videos and all the efforts you take. You clips are just great and super interesting. All the best from Germany! Cheers, Hans
Like how you record so we can actually absorb the views and see what we're looking at. On top of that you don't berate people or their lives while you're making clicks and likes off of them. Plus the bits of history/info, really great🏝🌈🌦
Hawaii was overtaken by the US and Japan and became commercialized and pushed locals out. The worst part is the locals serve the tourists who treat them like crap and those tourists are so audacious they think they are supporting the local Hawaiians. Hawaii would have been fine if left alone and would have just been a quiet fishing island with beautiful nature.
Dude be prepared for some little menehune hatred comments coming from locals! I just left that Island it's so full of hate and ignorance and they don't know how to run anything in the government's corrupt I'm so thankful and relieved to be gone and living a good life! They can have the island the only people there who can have a good life are the extremely rich
yea I don't like islands either, fun at first, or maybe if you were born there.. but the best part is getting off the island and back to mainland, that's just me
I live in oceanview Hawaii big island. These slums look way better than where I live. Oceanview is known for as “the Wild West” where anything goes. Most people live in un permitted pallet homes and tents. Most people don’t have running water.The amount of drug use,dog/rooster fighting,corrupt cops that look the other way,and dead bodies always being found is pretty unbelievable. Vacant cars everywhere. Getting robbed is a normal occurrence.Guns being shot is a normal thing you hear pretty much every other day. Packs of feral dogs roam the streets and attack people and the mental health problems and drug issues are rampant.
@@charlieneal8253these houses are at least 600k for single family homes, most closer to 1 million. Construction costs are extremely high, labor and materials. A lot of people have to do it themselves or don't do it at all.
There was a time I worked out in Waianae. Musician. I was honored to work with real Hawaiian musicians. It was fun. On breaks, we'd go out in the car and drink whiskey out of the bottle. It's the only time in my life I drank out of a bottle after someone else did LOL. We talked story. Good times. Good people.
It's not even Haoles anymore. They are the ones running things and trying to make things right. The crazy Rich Asians from China and Korea are the ones sneakily buying up land
The half circle buildings are called Quonset Huts. They were a prefab metal building used by the military during WW2. Designed to be very easy to put up and take down, and also be a relatively strong structure. After the war many were sold as surplus, and were erected on private land to be used as sheds/commercial buildings/houses, you name it. Guess they were a popular home choice for people in certain parts of Hawaii. The half circle shape probably holds up well to the winds there
All of the highways and streets look nicely paved and new, but without any road stripes. I wonder what is the AM radio station towers which appear behind the homes?
These islands have ZERO economy because they're strictly tourist destinations. If I was well off and wanted to retire, this would be a beautiful place to live. But if I had to make an income there, I'd be f***ed and depressed. 😅
There isn’t a housing issue because newbies don’t want them built. 1. Federal, state, and county governments own a lot of land. 2. Big landowners mean at least 85% of the land isn’t really available for new development. 3. Some of the land is zoned for agriculture. 4. Maui had about 14 square miles dedicated to housing before Lahaina. 5. It takes a long time to get permits approved for housing. Affordability is an issue. Only 20% of the people in Hawaii can afford an average house. A lot of that is employers that hold down wages because they have leverage:
Aloha Nick Johnson! Thanks for the tour. These building are very old in Waipahu. On Oahu, there’s low class neighborhoods, medium class and high class. You will see the difference while traveling on Oahu. I was born and raised on Oahu, but move to our sister island of Kauai. Lived on Kauai for 44 years.. In Waipahu there’s a lot of Samoans, Micronesian sort of mixed. I enjoy your tours. Much Mahalo.
Hey nick, Filipinos don’t live in those apartments, they lived in those 10 bedroom houses with other families. And Filipinos are not poor, they work too much jobs to be poor. And most rentals are owned by Filipinos.
I’m watching from Siberia, Russia, the city of Novosibirsk. It’s interesting to see what countries look like that are located on the other side of the world from me :)
Im an american but I consider Hawaii to be separate culturally from the united states. they have their own traditions, customs etc its sad to see what is happening to the natives,.
Hey Nick , you did it again! You saw a little store in the Island Hood, told the Japanese Lady it was "Cool!" Then shaded it by saying it was a " Hood-Billy Country Market"! 😂😂😂😅😅😅😂😂🎥😂😂😂😂
I work with many Islanders. Apparently on Hawaii if your a certain Hawaiian blood level you can be put on a list for free land and housing (like nice livable housing) that almost never gets fulfilled for anyone.
Great look at the Island! Would you consider covering Portland Oregon, it’s been messed up. Also it would be interesting to see the dichotomy between Portland and Lake Oswego. Cheers.
Ahhhh... but at least unlike North Korea you don't have a bunch of "Minders" following every step you take and restricting "Where" and "When" you can go and "Who" you can engage in free & open conversations with!
Proof that most people in a place do not benefit from tourism. Then there is the issue of the impacts of land speculation and political corruption. Native Hawaiians should be able to afford to live there.
I had a cousin who was a marine veteran and lived there because his daughter was there. In the early 90's the cost of living was extremely high. Now I see the results.
@@luiscarvo-mo7ok You contradicted your statement - are you a proud American or have you been brainwashed by the marxist left into believing "We do not identify as part of America."?
The people should have taken the governors instructions by helping clean up their own streets. Its called self governance and thats how it should be. We shouldn't have to rely upon the government to do stuff for us. The whole script has been flipped. We, the people tell our government what to do. Not the other way around. Sadly people have become laxy and reliant upon the government that they don't know how to govern themselves anymore.
Try governing yourself and you'll be charged with unlawful assembly by the FBI or National Guard or other LE official, or maybe inciting a riot or impeding an official proceeding of the government. Ha. Go show us how to "govern ourselves."
That first drone shot overlooking the city is right by my house. Welcome to Oahu! The Waianae coast is the westside of the island and is the driest side. When new people move to the island they usually want lush tropics so it would be the last place to look for a home, though the land is relatively cheaper. Still expensive, but cheaper. The road ends on that side too so no pass thru activity to drive business.
What's the name of the end of the road? Where there is a really small beach and big rocks at the ocean? I always called it Yokohama beach and I don't know why I called it that. We went out there once in awhile. No one was ever there but us.
I haven't finished watching this yet, but a lot of what I've seen is very similar to where I live in Darwin, Australia, and many North Queensland communities. We've also got the WWII huts in some places as well. Fascinating video, thanks 😊
Here's my entire Hawaii Road Trip Series: ruclips.net/p/PLq-_cmf3H6yqccGbhjoid97_3BEWegGtf
I think many watch your videos because they can identify with and understand the lower income areas more than the fancy, expensive places. yeah, it's nice to see beautiful, expensive neighborhoods. But that feels out of reach for many. The "run down" places just seem more real.
You don't know what a Quonset hut is? Anyway it is a legacy of the military. You won't find upscale homes around military installations.

😫 I live in the hood of Hawaii but it's what I can afford and it's not THE WORST i could do here. I feel pretty blessed to have the apartment I have.
I just left town. I lived near Central Middle school.. once my daughter got out of the nightmare called Royal she was set to go to Central. I got the f*** out of Hawaii. I'm not putting her through that.
Our views are from the Outside of the housing, so many different lives and different situations with in the homes that are good and bad, just like everywhere. There is also prejudice every where, every Country, every state, every city, every town. So Hawaii isn't any different, and people who vacation here hopefully aren't so blind that they don't realize that poverty exists everywhere. I think we need to focus on fighting drugs and alcohol abuse, mental Illness etc, these things are very connected to helping create poverty. Thanks for doing this video and sharing it with us ❤🙏

@Lopezflies888 I hear ya. I did the same for my family the tail end of 2016. Left the state and never went back.
@@88amona For me, a former Floridian, it is sad to leave what was once paradise. The tourism factories (corporations) came in a took away the beauty.

You might be going from bad to worse. Best of luck and hope you are living the life you want outside of where you were.
Half barrel buildings are Quonset huts…used extensively around WW2 by the military. We spend $3400 for a 650 sq foot house with no yard. Location is good, but not possible to make it here. Impossible for the true Hawaiian citizens to make it here.

A lot of these homes in Waianae and other parts you visited cost upwards of 700k-1 million depending on how close it is to town. So it might look ghetto on the outside, but the people who own the land might have a million dollar net worth on paper due to their house and very low property taxes that allow them to stay.
You have middle class and even upper middle class living alongside people living below the poverty line who are renting section 8 or stay with family in their already paid off homes.
That's why you see a lot of nice lifted trucks parked in front of a 1 story run down 2bed build half a century ago.
I'm an electrician in the union, journeyman pays around 120k a year full time and a lot of my coworkers live Waianae or kalihi. There's a lot of violence compared to the rest of the island but nowhere near as bad as the rough neighborhoods in cali.
Exactly. If someone wanted out of Hawaiian "slums" they could literally sell their property and get a million and live like a king in a cheaper state like West Virginia for example with low cost of living!
@@juliemanarin4127 the culture is different on mainland. They might speak the same language but it's like telling an American to move to canada or Australia. Most people who move come back. A lot of times they're successful by working and saving on the mainland and come here to buy a house.
🤬💬 If you look at his other videos, Clips. As he makes his rounds around the island, he's only looking for negative, and stays focus. On people's hardship, nothing but negative criticism. He gives the island people, not places or things. Can you see or hear him say anything positive about anything? This is why (Howley's or White's) are disliked. or should I say? Hated? It's people like him and other youtubers that go there and criticize people's hardship, but he's the worst. He mentioned he's from North Carolina. Too bad he didn't make any of those remarks out loud or the local people: would have shin checked him and gave him another permanent scar. , he'll put his wife's in danger over there, or somewhere else. they'll see this video and remember. Him You'll see him on the local or national news. And those are some Mighty. big boys and girls. Those girls would have had his wife join the party, too. When I was there, there was a military white guy. And 2 blacks White. look identical like that Russian guy who fought Rocky in the movie. Me and 2 local girls we were in Kaneohe in oahu. That white dude started talking S💩 putting the 2 girls down with F#%? Up
Jokes. for no reason, so I put him down with a few of my own. The girl.
started laughing, and so did his military Black buddies at the end. I said to him, "How do you like me now?" He automatically wanted to fight. He stood around (6'3"=250)he looks like a weight lifter. I'm(5'11"= 195. At the time I said to him, let it go. We're out to have a good time He said no. I'm about to F#%? U up"?!! So I started removing my shirt off. My body is blasted with tattoos from head toe. His 2 black friends seen all my tattoos & said oh your from the hood then told him he was on his own. I told him I'm not from here. I'm from California. I made a quick prayer to the Lord to see me through this He was big and healthy.💪 So we squared up. I faked I was going to throw a punch Instead i kick him in his nuts. Wrap my legs behind his legs and flip him At the same time with my hand Pushing up on his throat As I pushed him Backwards to the ground. I allowed him to get back up and ask him did he have enough. He said no"!! So I did the same Thinking he wasn't going to expect that again.and got him back on the ground again this time. I kicked him few times in his ribs and in his head. I asked him. Did he have Enough he said yes.🥹

Oahu is not the largest island, the big island of Hawaii is the largest island, I lived there.
That’s what I thought. Thanks
Oahu is the largest by population.
I thought so,
It's the most populated .
Exactly my thoughts
The reason the house was up high on blocks, is because they are planning to put legs underneath it. Doing so will make their flood and possibly even fire damage insurance a lot cheaper. You can see this kind of construction all along the Texas Coastal Bend region, but very popular driving from Aransas Pass, all over Rockport - Fulton, houses all around Copano Bay, Lamar, and Holiday Beach.
The poor find it much cheaper to not make improvements to their property or their neighborhood, which helps them to avoid higher property taxes and may even help them out getting charity. Screwing the entitlement system is a real problem and more should be done to disqualify many who are professional freeloaders.
In my neighborhood, I routinely go on walks with a trash bag and pick up trash. Today, I helped two neighbors trim their trees using my equipment. I even got a free beer out of the deal. But I care about how my neighborhood looks and I do a lot to help it look fantastic, even scatter grass seed in bare spots. So, my point is, that a neighborhood is only as good as the people who live there. They obviously could be doing something to make it look better if they really cared.
Not just people who live there but the landlords. Some tenants don't want it to get fixed up because that would mean they need to move out and that's what's going to happen once they get most places renovated. Do you own your home?
@@house_greyjoy absolutely. You aren't going to believe this, but I realized what you shared and came back to add it to my comment. Property owners; especially land lords benefit from a crappy looking property, because it does save them on property value taxes.
I'm a minimalist, so I do own, but nothing showy. I keep it clean, nice, but not to show off. There is no trash in my neighborhood or unkept looking places, because I make sure of it and people routinely cut their lawns. We all could do more to beautify the world. I can't begin to count how many trees I've planted or seeds I've scattered.
@@WilliamCooper-l6f Anyone that owns a home, that improves it, will have their property taxes increase. In my city they actually have a 'right' to inspect inside properties and rate everything. If you put in an expensive kitchen, bathroom, improve the finishes....your property taxes are going up. Any improvement, inside or out, including yards, may/will increase your property value, which increases your property taxes. It's a Catch-22.

Those mountains are just breath taking... I admire these people for standing their ground.
It’s their land they deserve to stand up for it especially since the government is trying to get rid of them
it’s really not so much about “standing their ground” as practicality. say you sell you plot for even THREE mil? THEN what? buy ANOTHER place? 3 mil wouldn’t last a family of even FOUR very long out there. move to VEGAS & work in “hospitality industry”? ugh, probably doing that already & at least it’s in fresh air with sweet beaches & family & friends all around & a culture they understand. these ppl are TRAPPED. & now with climate destruction wreaking havoc just about EVERYWHERE on the planet, why die of heat & thirst in the desert.

I was born and raised here in Hawaii, in Kaawa to be exact but I can honestly say that this place is just getting worse and worse. So many people are being priced out of paradise and some that are more unfortunate and can't save the money up to even leave just become homeless. The state and county are some of the most corrupt in the nation. My hometown hasn't changed much but everywhere around me has. The places I used to have fun as a kid have turned into crime hotspots, people are more violent now, crime is on the rise, local businesses are closing hourly, and it's all going to shit.

In Hawaii it is very common for many generations to live under one roof. Husband and wife with their 20 something year old son and his girlfriend with their small children all living in one house... Sometimes one of the wife's or husbands parents live with them too.. generally it is these 20 or 30 something year olds living rent free in their parents homes who drive the nice lifted expensive new Toyota trucks and SUVs
I noticed that too. Boats, 1 ton new model trucks. Crazy
Most of these single family homes he drove by cost over 700k. It might look like a dump but land is very expensive. Looks like a ghetto until you realize that there's a 40k truck parked in front of a 700k house and the guy living there might be a electrician or carpenter making over 100k a year.
Good afternoon from Papua New Guinea. I enjoyed watching your contents.
You would be surprised that despite how run down many of these communities look, the people who live there are very close to one another and often look out for each other. It’s not as “lawless” as you might think it is. This is coming from someone who grew up in these places.

So glad you captured all this‼️ In years to come, it’ll turn gentrified. Sad. Mahalo Nick 👋🏽
Wow good point! Hopefully not ever get gentrified. But the city/county looks at places like this and thinks to clean it up /gentrify if the residence /owners don’t do it themselves. They’ll think oh let’s help save this neighborhood and pay off the owners- lay out the blueprint of the cost to fix it up or give them an option to sell it. If an option is provided that is… I’ve seen the very thing happen in my old neighborhood. It was the only block in the city that was ghetto and marked with red at the police station as the most unsafe- but it wasn’t that bad at all for us in socal.
I hope that Waimanalo is still safe. A lot of homestead houses are there and if the Hawaiians are smart, they keep the place safe. You don;t want to turn Waimanalo into a ghetto. My family has a large farm there, since 1948, but the lease will end in a few years. More houses will be built. The people living there will make or break Waimanalo.

@@GNMi79😢
I love you and your videos, Nick! You crack me the hell up!!!
First off, those are old military Quonset huts. Some are quite clean on the inside. My mom was a single parent with 4 kids close in age. I worked from the age of 14 as did my siblings. We went to public schools in rough neighborhoods. We lived way in the rainforest. I worked on the beaches and Kuhio Park terrace. Low income housing. Hawaii was my home. Island education isn’t available to all after high school. I went to the mainland to get a further education and married an Alaskan and didn’t go home. My husband wouldn’t get a good job in the islands. My sister and brother in law got their mainland education and went home. My brother in law is part Hawaiian. He did have a tough time getting a job that paid generously. My sister worked hard as a teacher. Many Ohana either work for the government or tourist industries. Neither pay that well. Things cost lots of money but this is the home of my friends, family and classmates. They work the best they can and know how to survive. They love their aina. I miss and love the islands. I have many Ohana in the islands. There is always crime there but Oregon isn’t any better. Very expensive too. Our house was bought in OR for 36 thousand and now worth 1/2 a million. My sister’s house is now worth a million now. Food expensive here. More expensive in Hawaii. Mainland food is shipped in. There is always living on local food. Ohana here and there learn to survive.
I lived in the islands on and off since 1947. My home.
Born and raised in Hawaii. Grew up on the Waianae side. The west side has always been one of the many the low-income areas of the island. I graduated 1988 and went into the navy. I just had to get away from there. Some of the people I grew up love that side, and will never leave, but back then it wasn't as bad as it is now. It has REALLY gone down hill with the homelessness, and even-lower-than-before income that a lot of people live with now. It went from being a shit town to an even shitter town over the last three or four decades.
Waianae - "Why-ah-nye" or "Why-nye" Nye as in Bill Nye
Waipahu - "Why-pa-hoo"

Hawaii was different 20 years ago
Thank you for your service. Born and raised in ewa beach and still here. Much has progressed here in the ewa plains but of course like all things hawaii it’s expensive to live here. Next to bad governing and politics the natives sure make it worse. Anti American agenda makes me feel like an outsider or a true haole. Vow to never leave the islands because of my fondness but when shit hits the fan with the natives will have to move. Being born here makes me an American, however they claimed Hawaii isn’t American but rather forced. So what does that make me? Hawaiian? Instead of rising up and making their land a beautiful place to live for their families they choose to fight an unending winless fight. And that’s why they don’t progress.
Same story as you, I grew up waianae, makaha to be exact, graduated from waianae highschool and joined the navy. Did my time and wanted to move back to hawaii.. decided not to because of the cost of living.

I was blessed to visit Hawaii twice both times to Oahu and The Big Island. Once in the mid-90s and then again in 2002. The first trip was for a travel magazine touting the first 747 service from New York City to Oahu non-stop. First class. The one and only time I've been on first class. And it was plush. Upon landing in Oahu I stayed at a major hotel and given a tour of many tourist sites and a helicopter ride, etc. But I was fortunate to meet up with a local who worked at the hotel during my downtime. We clicked and she took me to her neighborhood, which looks a lot like one of "the hoods" full of native Islanders. We went to a local eatery and played pool and went bowling. And honestly it was the best time I had after spending so much time in tourist traps and high-end places. Being able to meet with and talk to people who live work a day lives on an expensive island that caters to tourism is really eye-opening. You see everything from a different perspective.
During my 2002 trip again I went to some of the tourist spots like Mauna Kea and Pearl Harbor, but also went with a colleague in the same industry I was in who worked locally, and we went to Costco of all places that had just opened on the island. And it was a traffic jam of humanity there. And one of the things I remember was being able to buy macadamia nuts dirt cheap compared to the mainland. And what they call "a plate lunch" that they even had at McDonald's - choice of protein (teriyaki beef or kalua pork), two scoops of rice, and a scoop of macaroni salad. 😁
Beautiful people and beautiful scenery, rich culture. Even in the most humble of places.
Sounds like a once in a lifetime adventure. Very cool you got a natives perspective
HELLO NICK FROM ALBANIA RESPECT YOU.
You need to know that many of the poor areas you showed are called Hawaiian Homelands. Available for Hawaiian people only. The houses and land are long-term leases. People who live there cannot sell them for a million bucks. There is a very long waiting list to get into one of these properties---like 20-30 years.
Kahili?!!?!?!? It is pronounced KA Lee hee. You clearly didn't bother doing your homework before filming. You ought to be EMBARRASSED of yourself! You are a prime example of someone who doesn't IMMERSE yourself in your work. Leave Hawaii and never come back!
I thought the hawaiian homeland is niihau I heard pure Hawaiians are gigantic is this true
Shout out from Las Vegas!!! Nick, I just love your videos. You commentary is entertaining and your funny. Keep up the good work.
Quonset Huts, probably for military use in WWII
English immigrants used to live in them when they came to Australia. Many returned home. Hot
I lived in a Wainanae Quonset hut in the mid 70's ,$60 a month, free pakalolo and Hawaiian music from my neighbors. Lualualei Valley. I may have seen the street in this video.
Just what I was gonna say
That makes a lot of sense. Thanks.
That was my thought
You keep saying Asian or Filipino. Many of the families living in public housing, or areas like Waipahu, are Micronesian. And you’re 100% correct about colonization. If the federal government pulled out of Hawaii, it’d be third world in about 6 months.
Dem got plenty Asians too
@@Lopezflies888 Yeah and you what a Caucasian ?
Hawaii is a MELTING POT actually. Also a lot of Military bases = A lot of Military families all around and Veterans that retire here if they can afford it.

The Asians like Filipinos are taking up over the islands not the micros or kanaka Hawaiians.

Born and raised in Hawaii, 50+ years. Great video, but I gotta correct you on some stuff. It’s Kalihi, you keep saying Kahili. It’s Mayor, not Major, Wrights Housing. It’s Mo’iliili, not Molili. Don’t worry, haoles always mispronounce Hawaiian names. You are so right about how crime is getting worse, and many locals are moving to Vegas. I still remember going to grade school and talked about kill haole day, but it was more of a joke. IMO Bad places: Waianae, Nanakuli, Waipahu, Kalihi. IMO Good places: Hawaii Kai area, Aiea, Pearl City, Salt Lake. Homeless and crime are getting worse. Living in Hawaii is very expensive. It was a lot simpler and safer when there were less people living here. Mahalo for coming to Hawaii and showing what tourists don’t see. I love your videos!
He's from the da mainland LOL of course he's going to mess up our words no worries🤓
Thank you for correcting his miss pronunciation.
My grandparents lived in Kalihi and now in Nanakuli. They’re thinking of selling but I’m convincing them not to. I’m from the mainland and I love visiting there whenever we vacation. They’re so close to Ko Olina and they built a whole area with Starbucks and L&L!
Wow, “kill Haole day”, haven’t heard that in a long time. Went Kapaa high on kauai. They were nice enough to give me couple days warning, and I wasn’t raised by no dummy, I’d be sure to skip school that day. And then there was the nickname “shark bait” i took that stuff seriously, till this day i wont set foot in the ocean. I’m still here, but i married a Haole, go figure.
0:06 Why are you confused by the "humans keep out"? They don't want squatters living in that property.
And since animals are unable to read you might as well put the note directly to the intended audience
"Humans" might appear to be gender neutral at first but upon closer inspection it's CIS gender biased language and should be "humyns" or perhaps "persons." No, "persyns."
@@glennbeadshaw727 I concur that the "humans" is extraneous and would normally be omitted, but it could also be used as a point of emphasis.
Kind've like: "If you can read this: I mean YOU", but squatters probably *_can't_* read.

In 2001, I moved to Washington state right after the teacher strike. You could say Cayetano drove me to leave. Lol Leaving Honolulu was the best move that I have ever made. I was born and raised in Makiki. When lived in Honolulu, I had a one-bedroom apartment on Pensacola St. which costed me $164,000 in 1990. In Wasington, I bought 2 houses. Now, I live in Bellevue equal to Kahala or Hawaii Kai. Honolulu's tax base is so small. I was sick of educators getting no respect, similar to what cops are getting in Democrat run cities.
I loved the episodes of “Dog the Bounty Hunter” taking down the tropical hillbillies of Hawaii.
Most people in public housing are working full time. You'll find a lot of Hawaiian Micronesians and Samoans. They work really hard just to maintain their existance.
A lot of them are working no time too I lived in town LOL right down the street in fact most of them are working no time

@@GNMi79 The opportunities are better in Hawaii but their original lifestyle was better back in their own countries. The American lifestyle is often traumatizing for them and they're over represented in the prison systems and homeless shelters in the islands. They are communal people. They'll borrow their American neighbors things and then be shocked when they're arrested for theft.
@patriciaanndemello4652 there are many peoples, often not of Caucasian descent, that don't do well in Western Civilization. They do better in the ways of their ancestors
The rent even in the slums is around 2k per month. If they are not working then they end up homeless and sleeping in the bushes.
This is so sad. 😢 I've been warning all my friends about what's been happening to Hawaii since 2013! This is what humans do to one of the most beautiful places on Earth, and it's horrible to see parts of the island in such distress! 😱🙏🏻😢

My dad was in the Navy and was stationed there in 1962... Just after he served in the Bay of pigs.... I remember going in one of those half barrel houses, vaguely, on the military base in Honolulu Hawaii... I loved being there as a little kid... I would walk around barefoot, which I wouldn't do here in New Jersey.... I remember shopping at the wigwam.... I started kindergarten there and my teacher's name was Mrs.
fujimoto...Our family came back to the mainland in 1966, Lakehurst naval Base New Jersey, to be closer to our relatives... My father served in the Vietnam Nam war twice when he was serving in Lakehurst, NJ. I guess living in Hawaii wasn't too expensive to live in at the time because we lived in the military housing.... We liked living there, and didn't want to leave.... We had these lizards that would live underneath our refrigerator and they would come out and greet me often....🌴🏝️🦎 We had banana and coconut trees in our yard, and a nice Bush of Jasmine...
Very poor Filipinos?omg
I lived on Ft.Ruger 62-67
Crazy! Because Hawaii is so gorgeous!
05:30 these are Quonset huts that have been modified into houses. They built these in Nebraska’s panhandle as well as a way to try to make affordable housing in the 40s. They are still living in a few of them in Scottsbluff in 2024. One just sold for around 115,000 I believe (although it is very much remodeled and nice on the inside).
32:00 Good on you for saying it. Also, most of the people claiming "Hawaiian" blood here aren't even "Hawaiian" but Micronesian/Samoan and Filipinos some of them change their names, have met a lot of whites who changed their names to Hawaiian sounding ones lol.. There are of course, no "Native Hawaiians" only Polynesians who settled here.

your channel absolutely interesting and inspires and keep me calm from many off my stress.
Hawaii was overtaken by the US and Japan and became commercialized and pushed locals out. The worst part is the locals serve the tourists who treat them like crap and those tourists are so audacious they think they are supporting the local Hawaiians. Hawaii would have been fine if left alone and would have just been a quiet fishing island with beautiful nature.
Agreed!!!!
Just another reason for you to bash America
Poor Filipinos in Hawaii are still richer there than if they were back home… at least they have benefits.
Cock fighting, bull fighting, blood sports. Asian blood sports, disregard fur human life.
I know a Filipino family who were given permission to live on part of a nice piece of land, built a prefab that looks great for $1000. That’s rich.
Forgot to mention, that’s in. Cebu
I heard the Filipinos stick together the grandparents parents kids live together and buy houses together
Dude be prepared for some little menehune hatred comments coming from locals! I just left that Island it's so full of hate and ignorance and they don't know how to run anything in the government's corrupt I'm so thankful and relieved to be gone and living a good life! They can have the island the only people there who can have a good life are the extremely rich
yea I don't like islands either, fun at first, or maybe if you were born there.. but the best part is getting off the island and back to mainland, that's just me
massively overpriced isolationists society. very weird, they can have all of it I agree

Same story in Guam. Poverty, ignorance and hatred is in the DNA of the local tropical hillbillies.
I live in oceanview Hawaii big island. These slums look way better than where I live. Oceanview is known for as “the Wild West” where anything goes. Most people live in un permitted pallet homes and tents. Most people don’t have running water.The amount of drug use,dog/rooster fighting,corrupt cops that look the other way,and dead bodies always being found is pretty unbelievable. Vacant cars everywhere. Getting robbed is a normal occurrence.Guns being shot is a normal thing you hear pretty much every other day. Packs of feral dogs roam the streets and attack people and the mental health problems and drug issues are rampant.
I live on Big island and that's a bit of a stretch
Thanks Nick ! Stay well !
In 2000, I visited Honolulu for three days, and then Lahaina, Maui, for another four days. It was magical. The recent fires broke my heart. 😢❤️

The half circle buildings are called Quonset Huts. They were a prefab metal building used by the military during WW2. Designed to be very easy to put up and take down, and also be a relatively strong structure. After the war many were sold as surplus, and were erected on private land to be used as sheds/commercial buildings/houses, you name it. Guess they were a popular home choice for people in certain parts of Hawaii. The half circle shape probably holds up well to the winds there
All of the highways and streets look nicely paved and new, but without any road stripes. I wonder what is the AM radio station towers which appear behind the homes?
These islands have ZERO economy because they're strictly tourist destinations. If I was well off and wanted to retire, this would be a beautiful place to live. But if I had to make an income there, I'd be f***ed and depressed. 😅
What I say too lol. If I win millions of lottery definitely
I see mainly old cars with really expensive Rims… priorities people.
When you nothing much to live for, maybe a little bling on your rim is just the thing to turn your frown upside down.
There isn’t a housing issue because newbies don’t want them built.
1. Federal, state, and county governments own a lot of land.
2. Big landowners mean at least 85% of the land isn’t really available for new development.
3. Some of the land is zoned for agriculture.
4. Maui had about 14 square miles dedicated to housing before Lahaina.
5. It takes a long time to get permits approved for housing.
Affordability is an issue. Only 20% of the people in Hawaii can afford an average house. A lot of that is employers that hold down wages because they have leverage:
Wherever the white man goes it's FOUL
Aloha Nick Johnson! Thanks for the tour. These building are very old in Waipahu.
On Oahu, there’s low class neighborhoods, medium class and high class. You will see the difference while traveling on Oahu. I was born and raised on Oahu, but move to our sister island of Kauai. Lived on Kauai for 44 years..
In Waipahu there’s a lot of Samoans, Micronesian sort of mixed. I enjoy your tours. Much Mahalo.
Ok Debbie!
Hey nick, Filipinos don’t live in those apartments, they lived in those 10 bedroom houses with other families. And Filipinos are not poor, they work too much jobs to be poor. And most rentals are owned by Filipinos.

I work with many Islanders. Apparently on Hawaii if your a certain Hawaiian blood level you can be put on a list for free land and housing (like nice livable housing) that almost never gets fulfilled for anyone.
Great look at the Island! Would you consider covering Portland Oregon, it’s been messed up. Also it would be interesting to see the dichotomy between Portland and Lake Oswego. Cheers.
Hawaii is incredibly overrated. Don't let the travel industry and the chamber of commerce lie to you. Its no paradise.
No big draw for me. Too far from the East Coast & the rain. Don’t dig that whole Locals Only crap
Was born there and lived for a short time, only draw is childhood memories; after that, its just another human inhabited American dump . . .
Ahhhh... but at least unlike North Korea you don't have a bunch of "Minders" following every step you take and restricting "Where" and "When" you can go and "Who" you can engage in free & open conversations with!
I'm certain that the tourist Hawaii areas are quite different then the down scale regions-???🤔
The Appalachia of Hawaii. 😔
Proof that most people in a place do not benefit from tourism. Then there is the issue of the impacts of land speculation and political corruption. Native Hawaiians should be able to afford to live there.
Low iq and drugs are a problem.
I had a cousin who was a marine veteran and lived there because his daughter was there. In the early 90's the cost of living was extremely high. Now I see the results.

The people should have taken the governors instructions by helping clean up their own streets. Its called self governance and thats how it should be. We shouldn't have to rely upon the government to do stuff for us. The whole script has been flipped. We, the people tell our government what to do. Not the other way around. Sadly people have become laxy and reliant upon the government that they don't know how to govern themselves anymore.
The Tytler cycle in full effect
Sum be mad the white man's ruling the island. They don't trust locals to run it and they both whites in then They don't want to take good advice
Try governing yourself and you'll be charged with unlawful assembly by the FBI or National Guard or other LE official, or maybe inciting a riot or impeding an official proceeding of the government. Ha. Go show us how to "govern ourselves."
Yes sir.
Give us the guns then we'll talk! And as for Nick, there is no such thing as gun violence!
That first drone shot overlooking the city is right by my house. Welcome to Oahu! The Waianae coast is the westside of the island and is the driest side. When new people move to the island they usually want lush tropics so it would be the last place to look for a home, though the land is relatively cheaper. Still expensive, but cheaper. The road ends on that side too so no pass thru activity to drive business.
What's the name of the end of the road? Where there is a really small beach and big rocks at the ocean? I always called it Yokohama beach and I don't know why I called it that. We went out there once in awhile. No one was ever there but us.
@benton-benton yes, the main road is Farrington Hwy and it ends at Yokohama Beach.
It's called Kaena Point past Yokohama Beach.
