I was stationed at Camp Smith in Aiea in the mid 80's. Do you have any videos of that base?

Last time I was there was 2003, is that place that serves Korean food still in that shopping complex? It was so good.

my daughter will work during 5 month in manoa university. i need help to rent

Thank you so much. Very informative video.

I can deal with traffic from a cow or too

On the culture issue, you are far too evasive. In short -- Racists, stay out.

great video. family of 3 here, looking to buy a condo at hawaii to live there permanently. This video helps a lot even if its 2024

I wish my shipping quotes to Oahu was this cheap. Idk where this dude is moving from

Im heading out there December first

NOT now. 2019 was the last good year, in my opinion. COVID totally changed this place. (Along with the WEF) Also, its weird watching someone else do this.😅

are they accepting foreigner for workers ?

Area code is really helpful

Do you have any experience with, or information on James Campbell High School and Kapolei High School?

It’s horrible in Seattle area too!

What about homestead? Are there any homes or tracks that are available for those on the homestead list? Or build your own on homestead land in this area? Do you work with DHHL or do you have a reference who does?

We’ve wanted to move there, talked about it, then realized Teachers are paid very low, and there’s no way we can survive. If that changes, maybe?

I'm a little disappointed with the video, way too much selfie shots while driving. I was stationed there throughout the 90s, so I wanted to see all the changes.

Anyone remember Leeward Estates??! Right off of Ft. Weaver Rd

do not move to Hawaii. Non-Locals keep moving to the islands which is making the housing market ridiculous and then they leave and new people transplant here every 2 years. The culture and morals of Hawaii need to be kept, versus rich white people moving to Hawaii to isolate and never give back to the community.

It’s all relative. You’d definitely be mind blown by Houston or NYC lol

Born and raised in HI, its beautiful but no matter how beautiful is was, the local batives are assholes. 99.9% of them hate everyone not nativem doesnt matter how kind, nice, helpful...just a bunch of bitter assholes. Ill never go back

No no would not want to live there 😮

Thank you for the summary of cons.. Thank you for your service 🇺🇸❤️

USCG facility at Sand Island/HNL Harbor. Personnel live around Oahu

Can you do OT’s?

Kaneohe has a Target.

Not much emphasis on the extreme racism by the locals against Europeans , I spent 30 years there so I know

You forgot Helemano army installation next to the Dole visitor's center. I was stationed their in the late seventies.

Have you ever worked with a 1031 exchange on farmland ?

Yeah, I lived on Oahu and Maui for many years. I'm retired now and living in Colorado, and I'm glad that I moved away. Frankly, it was just too expensive for me. It's like you would be at a beach bar-b-que with good friends, plenty of cold beer, the beautiful sunset on the horizon, and all you could think about is the rent, the car payment, and when they are due.

YOUR DEFINITELY RIGHT DON'T MOVE TO HAWAII STAY PUT WERE YOU COME FROM . DON'T LISTEN TO PEOPLE WHO'S NOT HAWAIIAN TRYING TO TELL YOU COME AN LIVE HERE .

Roaches dont like filthy homes. They have standards. Thats how you keep them away.

600 feet elevation is "super high" 😂😂😂

Lol. @14:04 you inserted a photo from a foreign nation. Malaysia?

Yes visitors have to go thru Lyman gate

Hawaii is OCONUS so that's why civilians can live there. Sorry DOD civilians. They have to anytime they are overseas

My family and I are moving back to oahu from Texas. Summer of 2025. We have 2 cars. Mines an 07 cadillac runs fine but has high milage and a rebuilt title. Currently worth tops $1,500. You think it's worth taking or no.

WONDERFUL VIDEO! I now wouldn't go or move to Hawaii if you gave me $50,000. I'm serious! The bugs there are like a nightmare from HELL! The humid heat would be like HELL.

Great channel, I am planning our move in 4 years time. I hope to get in touch with you then.

Sounds like lots of fun, NOT. Much like Manhattan, NYC. No thanks.

I was considering moving to Hawaii from Florida, but after intense research I decided I will stay in Florida. I would not be able to buy the type of home I have in Florida in Hawaii for $450-$500K!! I also understand that some homes in Hawaii cannot be insured due to their location near the lava flow (USGS survey.) Most upgrades I have seen in homes do not have permits, hence they are uninsurable or you cannot get a mortgage. The volcano can spit VOG gases and the air quality might be compromised. The cost of living in Hawaii is much higher than in Florida, like gas, groceries, eating out, and other overall expenses. Property taxes are lower in Hawaii, but then they get you with State Tax for IRA contributions (which I do get monthly since I am retired.) No State Tax in Florida at all. Then there is the isolation syndrome in the islands, being far from great Hospitals (I have some health issues), theme parks, shopping malls, etc. And last but not least, the weather in a specific location has its own micro-climate, which can be annoying since you cannot get a home in a consistent climate area. In Florida, what you see is what you get as far as climate- dry and comfortable in the winter and humid/rainy in the rainy season (May-Oct.) I decided to stay in Florida, since I still have my tropical climate, access to great theme parks, lower cost for homes, cars, food, gas. etc. I live inland, in Ocala, so I don't really worry about hurricanes (I prepare anyway, but I never had to evacuate in 30 years since living in Florida.) Hawaii is very beautiful much like California, but after careful research (based on my annual retiree IRS/SS income of $45K), the bang for my buck will go a longer way in Florida than Hawaii. It's all about economics not ergonomics.

1hr. Thats how long it took me

I have to re-home my snake AND gecko :( I hate that I have to move there.

It is not grammatically correct to say "more cleaner." This phrase contains a grammatical error known as a double comparative. In English, we have two ways to form comparatives for adjectives: 1. For most one-syllable adjectives and some two-syllable adjectives, we add "-er" to the end. For example: - clean → cleaner - fast → faster - pretty → prettier 2. For longer adjectives (usually two syllables or more), we use "more" before the adjective. For example: - beautiful → more beautiful - intelligent → more intelligent - complicated → more complicated The word "clean" falls into the first category, so the correct comparative form is simply "cleaner." Using both "more" and "-er" together is redundant and incorrect. Correct usage would be: - "This shirt is cleaner than that one." - "I need a cleaner solution to this problem." If you wanted to emphasize the degree of difference, you could use adverbs like "much" or "even": - "This shirt is much cleaner than that one." - "I need an even cleaner solution to this problem." Remember, for the superlative form (the highest degree), we would use "cleanest" rather than "most clean."

Mahalo! Good summary of negatives to consider and enough to discouage anyone to not move to Hawaii. Even as a local boy, I now have mixed feeling about moving back. Cost of living and housing the biggest reasons, traffic being #3. #12 is a positive!

Looks like this channel might be abandoned (happens alot), but if anyone reads this, my advice (former Hawaii resident 26 years)? #1: Do a TON of research first....even if it takes several years, INCLUDING understanding the culture there. So do not relocate on a "whim." This might include visiting two or even three times first (and NOT as a "tourist") before taking the big "plunge". Costly, yes. But totally worth it in the LONG run! #2: Do NOT move there, unless you can afford to be COMFORTABLE. And with this inflation now, this is absolutely critical. Otherwise, and I can almost guarantee, you will be miserable, and in a year, you'll be on that plane mainland bound. That's it! Anyhoos, good luck.

I lived on Palailai St while in the Navy, 1971-'72. I enjoyed the video.

I grew up in waipio about 100 yards away from kipapa elementary school during the late 40s and early 60s in what is now mililani. It was a great place to grow up. There was a lot of open space although most of it was pineapple fields. There was an abundance of guava trees, passion fruit, and mango trees . Along a little ditch which was constantly flowing. Back in those days we kids did not have much to worry about as far as being safe from crime.

No need to

I was stationed there 76-78. Beautiful location and weather.
