It's wild how greed destroys cities and towns, and then the greedy folks complain about how trashed everything is and how many homeless folks are roaming around. Imagine if this whole "rich area" was developed into normal middle class (well, what used to be middle class, since the middle class has been obliterated) homes and neighborhoods. The overall situation on the island would probably be way better off with more people living comfortably (not excessively) and working class folks could maybe afford family homes. I'm a class of 93 high school grad and I'm still trying to wrap my head around how badly American society has failed. And before anyone vomits up a political party to blame, you should realize that it isn't a party issue, it's a Rich vs Poor issue, as it has always been.

So if it was a middle class neighborhood the homeless would by them and be off the streets?

[@tripplefives1402]

Not exactly. If the rich people left then it would just become slums and then people like you would complain about "white flight". The reason why homes are unaffordable is because of artificial scarcity. The majority of land in Hawaii is owned by the state and can't be used for housing. Then what housing can be built is too expensive because of regulations and building codes.

Everyone knows that Oahu is the sacrificial island you go to shop and leave. Kauai is unaffordable, Maui is expensive now too, Molokai and Lanai are closed, which leaves Puna on the Big Island the only affordable option for many, and now it’s blowing up. Puna is the fastest growing district in the state but the infrastructure is lacking severely. Traffic, postal, food, very behind. The growth potential is huge and it’s happening. We’re over here cashing in on the building boom because you can’t stop it. It’s nice that you can have space though. One lot in Puna would hold eight houses in Oahu for a small fraction of the price. People from all the other islands and California are pouring in because it’s cheap compared to there.

[@cochisenahuh7939]

Molokai is closed???? They got like 50+ homes for sale.

Meanwhile HPP in lower Puna is expanding rapidly because it’s cheap and a higher grade lava zone, but even that’s an illusion. Kona isn’t safe because of Hualalai and Mauna Loa.

There is no inequality in the US. Says so in the Constitution. Everyone has the right to "life, liberty, and the PURSUIT of happiness". Nobody's in anybody's way except themselves. You have the right to pursue homes like these through hard work - maybe you'll get one, maybe you won't. That's up to the individual how hard they want to work for it. All that said, Hawaii is a different story in a lot of ways. Given that it was once a sovereign kingdom, I would like to see it go to an autonomous territory of the US, with our constitutional rights, and US military defense, but like with the Faroe Islands, there should be a law to stop outsiders from buying up Hawaiian land and building these tacky homes unless they meet a majority Polynesian DNA threshold. I think that would create more opportunities for native Hawaiians to be able to live in their own land again. But, pipe dreams, because that will never happen. Makes too much sense. As it stands now, as part of the US, every US citizen - and foreigners - have the right to buy land and homes anywhere across the country, including Hawaii, unfortunately, and that, I believe, is wrong. That's the only form of inequality I see here.

A sad fact about “East O’ahu”, prior to being developed, it was one of the last (or maybe even THE last) places that had a Hawaiian village (on O’ahu). All of the people were evicted from an area that some peoples families have lived for hundreds of years… so they could develop mansions for the rich people, mostly Americans. Those Hawaiians became homeless, like so many other Hawaiians kicked off of our ancestral lands, for outsiders to bulldoze our sacred sites and burial grounds… so outsiders can live here. Side note: are you sure Paul Mitchel lives in East O’ahu? He used to live in Lanikai in Kailua, I thought he still did… well not “live” there, but own a house there.

There is only one gated community and that’s on a hill in the Aina Haina area. Obamas house is located in Kailua not East Honolulu. There is a Whole Foods right nearby Diamond Head aka Kahala. Hawaii Kai is not the Beverly Hills of Hawaii, that would be the Diamond Head area known as Kahala. East Honolulu has a Costco and a Safeway. In Hawaii Kai there is Koko Head. In Kahala east of Waikiki you will find Diamond Head.

At the risk of sounding pretentious....their "nice" community is a dump. Piled one upon the other, and many looking like they were built in the 70s. Hard pass. Even the 2-3 decent ones in the video were still touching the neighbours, zero property line...ewww.

[@yukokanegawa6636]

YOU CAN'T BLAME SOMEONE FOR BUYING LAND LONG TIME AGO. BLAME THE FED FOR DEVALUING THE CURRENCY TO THE POINT WHERE HARD ASSETS , STOCKS, AND FOOD HAVE SKYROCKETED: IT'S CALLED INFLATION, AND ITS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 1971.

[@robotech]

I live here. If you guys have any questions, just ask here and I'll answer as soon as I can.

[@ernestconnell8087]

One thing was missing here 🤔 oh, yah poverty.

[@karinmurry90]

Those neighborhoods with homes so close together are not appealing to me.

[@prst99]

My parents live in Hawaii Loa Ridge. Over 25 years. We know most of the neighbors on our street. My dad was doctor, neighbor was a US Attorney, other neighbors were doctors, dentists, research scientists, bank controller, etc. all high paying professionals.

[@The.Hawaiian.Kingdom]

None of those professions would be able to afford to buy a house in Hawai’i Loa now. Crazy.

[@robburns7283]

It’s called China Walls not Spitting Caves. What is wrong w you? This guy doesn’t know sht from shinola

[@don19655]

That's NOTHING, that will by you a track house in san jose, CA. That was built in 1959. So 2: Million is a Deal. Don, CA.

[@treasuretom13]

I think a high 'cliff home' in this area with great views of mountain and water would be preferable to me over a beachside warer view..

[@ToadKing]

As someone who's renting a place across the street from the beach in East Honolulu, I agree. I drive up the ridges fairly often for deliveries and the view along with the cooler temperatures and cleaner air are much more livable.

[@jotev2687]

all kinds of cope in the comments. It's still a meritocracy. Those who work hardest and smartest get to live like kings. Those who settle or wait for govt to help them, live in apartments in the city or in farms in the middle of nowhere

[@motokev2727]

I don't see the appeal of these richy neighborhoods. Their neighbors are 2 feet away. People pay a lot of money for a view of H2O.

[@reneebru1]

No thanks! I’d want to be AWAY from people if I had moola! Privacy and QUIET are at the top of my list!

[@cindypaige7563]

When I lived in Haleiwa, I was near Elvis and Sonny and Chers house in 1976

[@SusanEpp-q7c]

I worked at the Costco in Hawaii Kai. Eat at Scratch Kitchen. The fish n chips are good. 😊

[@1jackvalley580]

The (Original Magnum PI) Tom Selleck use to own a beautiful home on Black Point and Kahala on Diamond Head. It was gated so you can't get down into see the homes from Kahala, but I did eventually see his home. Honestly, many of those homes are just stacked onto each other. For me, I would lose the love of Hawaii If I lived there, I'd rather vacation there a couple times a year in the winter for a month or two.

[@mallorywest1535]

Love your Hawaiian Series! Thanks for showing all sides of it. Looks like yall had a blast too 👍So when are you coming to see us in the Caymans? Please let me know if you decide to!! 🇰🇾🇺🇸👏❤️

[@NickJohnson]

What's there to see there Mallory?

[@JoelUldrych-kh2sc]

1% of people own 40 to 60% of all the nations wealth. Ironic, there are any wealthy Republicans there when the entire Hawaii state is most all Democrat and tons of mega rich Democrats.

[@aribasmajian18]

Those houses were super nice some houses looked there was lots of land around others didn't. It just didn't seem worth it.

[@robertdavis5714]

Nice Production Nick, thought Santa Barbara/Montecito was more $$$$$$$$$$$, this area does remind me of Santa Barbara. Ohhhhhhhhhh, I see an empty lot. Paul Mitchell, you should see his house in Malibu.

[@RoryRamshot]

Mappy, I’m STILL worried. Please do something about this!

[@iceboxconner]

Poor people blame everyone else for their downfalls and failure to adapt.

[@brianyoung2268]

Cerritos California is not a nice city let alone most expensive to retire 😅😅 the only nice part of Cerritos is the Cerritos Auto square 😅😅😅

[@okolepuka3134]

gated private 50+ acre ag lots no tourists(you) not on the map Kapu

[@NewHaven203]

Why would people want to live there where everything is overpriced, mortgages, food, gas, entertainment, etc., when they could live somewhere in the lower 48 for a lot cheaper? Florida has beautiful, tropical homes for a lot cheaper

[@PlumbNutz]

Many people can afford to live wherever they want and if you've ever been to Hawaii you know that the weather is literally perfect 95% of the time. The trade winds are nearly always blowing keeping the temperature and humidity moderate, it's rarely too hot or too cold. There are frequent small rain squalls to cool things off, and that gives you rainbows. Florida is insanely hot and muggy half of the year and full of gangs of criminal minorities and immigrants

[@benh3427]

Not sure if I would live in Florida, If you can't afford to insure your house and no one would give you a mortgage. Also the whole area will be under water with sea water rising from global warming.

[@annjames1837]

Florida has hurricanes

[@spitfirered]

Well I Have To Say Is Good Luck With Your House On The Water And The Houses Near The Volcano!

[@ChrisLee66]

Having those two realestate pros really added to the video. Very kind and sincere even though working with the ultra rich which you would not expect.

[@cochisenahuh7939]

They were actually knowledgeable and pronounced the names correctly. Very respectful ladies.

[@jeffhenson1994]

dang it mappy WTF

[@annhowcroft9493]

I have visited Hawaii once back in the 70's. It is beautiful but I don't have a desire to go back or live there. I think we should help the true native Hawaiians afford to live there.

[@ilibertyiwoman]

You crack me up. Okay, I'm your new subbie! Aloha! By the way, I used to live right in that neighborhood. Thinking of going back to my island BUT, I think I can invest my money better another way. Maybe, just live there part of the year. I'd ask my rich friends to sublet to me part of their big house. Hahaha. But, I'm serious. But the bugs! They bug me.

[@PerrincinaSprecaci]

My cousin lives on Koko Isle and I'm trapped in Philly. She's offered to let me rent her tiny pool house out back if she can get the permits to convert it and I pay for the renovation, which would just be adding a tiny bathroom and kitchenette. It's SO tempting if it becomes a possibility. Oh, and I've heard about the "B-52's" 🤮
