The Hawaiian islands are small, so that means crowded, and not many places that are beautiful.
Average median now is around $700,000, ultra expensive to live, lowest ranked education in the USA, massive homeless on the streets, and always seeing, running into crime, or seeing police, constant sirens, etc...
The majority of Hawaii is not beautiful, I’ve lived across the Pacific, and seen many of it’s island that surpass Hawaii.
You go out around decent sized populated towns in Hawaii, this is the beauty you’ll see.

We have a guy where I live, completely dressed in big black trash bags, over his entire body and feet.
Out here, is almost like Southern Cal or Florida...
This is the worst place in the USA I’ve lived, and I’ve been all over America, it’s just an image. But sure, if I only had LA or NYC to pick from, I’d stay.
Soon, me and the Mrs are leaving, and I can’t wait! I wish I never moved to this dump of a state!
Take it from someone who lived here half of their life and raised a family here, it’s just a tourist image they want you to keep believing.
Yes, there are nice places here, but, there’s way to much crap, and it’s not worth it.
Let’s put it this way, you’d have to come from some real shit hole in the USA to want to live here, for the absolute insane costs, and the only way you’ll ever live that so called Hawaiian beauty, is you need to be extremely wealthy.
Google Hawaii news, and Hawaiian real estate and see the insanity, and what you get for your money, it’s a joke.
P.S. Sorry for off topic...
