Mahalo, glad it's helpful. Good talking with you. You'll be back here before you know it. 🤙

Business monopoly, corruption, justice system, foreign or out of state investors all contribute to locals leaving. -from a local

[@speakupyt4900]

Very true, even the''Hawaii Civil Rights Commission'' is corrupt. We lost very unfair case that was filed to the Civil Rights Commission bc we didn't have a lawyer representing us. Everyone think that they're on your side, No if you want to win your case, you must have clout to win your case even at the HCRC, so corrupt !

[@HomeSweetHomeHawaii]

Agree, all of these are key factors to locals leaving. Mahalo for adding

I returned to Hawaii with a newly minted Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering in 1955. Looking at the job availability, I turned around and moved to Los Angeles.

Yes although a lot has changed in those 69 years, it can still be tough. I bet you made more $ in LA 🤙

[@Carnivoretraveler]

I can afford to live in Hawaii because I have a small mortgage. I just wanna leave because of the boredom.

[@HomeSweetHomeHawaii]

Hawaii definitely isn't for everyone. Island fever can also be a challenge, especially if you're a carnivore traveler! Great handle. 🙂 If you leave, hang onto your house if you can - having a small mortgage is a coveted position to be in for homeowners, and the rent on that might just help fund your retirement. If you want to figure out what your monthly cash flow would be if you rent it, you can always reach out to me. 🤙

[@romulosumalnap-mw9vx]

The only reason why hawaii is so hard to lived by is because of it's high and expensive standard of living! Hawaii is only good for those who can afford to meet the standard of living!

[@HomeSweetHomeHawaii]

That really is the primary challenge for many people.

[@donniemoder1466]

That is a lot of military.

I think there also points you didn't mention like lots of homeless in urban areas, crime like car break ins, drugs, traffic, and noise in urban areas. You also see a trend of people move out of urban areas to suburbs and more rural areas.

[@HomeSweetHomeHawaii]

All important points, mahalo!

No law enforcement (not the personnel, the verb). Why not live on the beach if people let you; beautiful sun-sets, ocean breeze, the sound of the surf,... why not? The bleeding hearts closed the asylums in the 80's and let people out to fend for themselves for freedoms sake. It felt good to give freedom to individuals, but they forgot those people had issues in fitting-in and understanding... hence the huge homeless population.

[@grishyroy9271]

The life longevity statistic is misleading. Affluent older people moving into Hawaii live longer due to better insurance, living and eating habits, less stress due to nice retirement incomes, etc. This skews the results.

[@HomeSweetHomeHawaii]

All good points! Hawaii is #1 in many different longevity lists and there's a lot of speculation on why that is. Whatever the reasons, I like those odds. May we all live long! 🤙

[@davidk.3133]

Have you ever lived in Hawaii? I’ve been living in Hawaii for almost 20 years. The people here are different first of all they’re laid-back like really laid-back. Stress is one of the biggest killers of Americans and it ain’t like that here. Even on Oahu… and if you go to the big island, life is positively pedestrian there. Even the Hawaiian lava is so laid-back that you can easily outrun it and we also don’t have people walking around the streets with AK-47s, that an a lack of violent crime here compared to so many of those beautiful gun tooting red states is probably also a big factor on why longevity is much better in Hawaii than it is in Alabama or Texas. Last thing is people here probably eat better most of the time they’re eating some kind of fish. A very Japanese and Asian inspired diet here. Poke is all the rage. And Japan has one of the longest life expectancies.😊🤙🏻

Wtf we have sales tax what are you talking about???

[@HomeSweetHomeHawaii]

Yeah our general excise tax sure feels like a sales tax doesn't it 🤙

[@kbaymermaid]

No, Hawaii has general excise tax, which is a tax on businesses who can pass on the expenses to customers (which everyone does). It sure makes it feel like a sales tax
