The problem with Hawaii is it’s been a blue state since becoming a state. So we have a very corrupt state government.

Very helpful!❤

Hilo is in the Guinness book of world records for having the highest rainfall in the world.

What about mosquitoes and or noseeums? Can you be outside in the evenings? Or do you get bit up? Compared to Florida.

What about the south point?

What about South Point? not HOVE but Naalehu, Mark Twain, Discovery Harbor?

Way back in 1977 when I was still in High School in San Jose Ca. I was offered A VA assumable by my god father Theadore Perry who was a real estate broker there on the BIG ISLAND, it was a newly built never lived in house, he sent me a stack of photos and it appeared that it was a very nice house with a drive through drive way with a HUGE LAVA rock inlaid fish pond, it was in between the road way and the drive way, I thought what the hell is this all about a A LAVA rock inlaid swimming pool in the front yard, it also came with a full court tennis court and a half court Basketball court, it was 100% ready to go, apparently the couple divorced and they wanted to off the house real fast, at the time I was told all was needed was to was to sign on the dotted line with no $$$ down, and they would take care of everything else, end game I turned it down, simply because I wasn't ready to become a home owner and I also didn't want to deal with ROCK FEVER! Current day, I now live in the Netherlands.

Coqui frogs are great! They have been in Hawaii since the late 1980s. In Puerto Rico they are a national treasure. Hotels in the rain forest even advertise the frogs. Rain, i moved here because of the 10 feet (yes feet) of rain. That rain also means less tourists. Plus, i prefer the clouds to the sun, i do not like sunny days with no clouds. As for Tsunamis, live at least 100 feet above sea level. The lowest we have ever lived is 500'. If you truly want to live in East Hawaii (and the best spots) live between Hilo and Honomu. We live here for thee rural/country lifestyle. We want nothing to do with city life :)

Hello There, TH-cam recommended one of your videos and I really must say you post awesome stuff, love it and I want to see you on top!

All I can say to all who move here from the mainland….. “Don’t CHANGE the culture….” “ADJUST to it…..” One big word….. RESPECT. Less is more….. Money won’t get you anywhere with the locals.

I checked out your TH-cam channel and noticed a few areas for improvement. Your content is excellent, but the thumbnails and SEO could use some work. By optimizing these aspects, your channel could grow much faster. Would you like help with this? Thanks!

Hi There, Please Your email check. Thank You.

Do I call Julie when lava flows.

Why do you people have to come to Hawaii stay away

Is Shipping Container allow for home in Big Island?

The fire ants are invisible monsters and ran us and orchard growers out. Ten years and an ocean away, I still get very painful recurring bites reactivating.

Lance is right. Parking is a landowners issue. Government intervention will likely make it worse. Thanks for the update.

The parking lots should be owed buy the city . then the paid taxes would cover this issue and up keep.

I agree- parking is a HUGE issue. We don't go DT when we're on the Big Is because of it. So the small businesses are loosing our $. If the land owners loose the business leases then it stands to reason they loose the parking $. The parking in DT makes Kona (already expensive) unaffordable. It just changed the whole feel of Kona. Now instead of a cool ocean fron town, it's a strait up coorperate vibe.

Yes, there are cons, for sure, thanks for touching on some of them. These are also good info to have: th-cam.com/video/2ApK962f_O8/w-d-xo.html And th-cam.com/video/ep6Np5ZExbU/w-d-xo.html 🌴

Love the show! Only downside (sirens) I can’t escape them here in Denver and now I hear them on my favorite show 😫. LOL

Lefties move there after they’ve voted Blue to ruin where they’re leaving after a lifetime. They leave all the Blue cities. They come to Hawaii and do the same thing. You won’t find many Red state friends in Hawaii during your old age.

We lived in HPP several years back. We owned the old house that was moved from the hospital area to HPP. It was built in 1940. We bought it from the people that had it moved to HPP. Since we sold it, it is on the 2nd owner. It was a lovely house and a good size! I wish I had that house up the mountain where we live now.

Hello, Julie Ziemelis! Please check your email inbox.

Mahalo nui for these updates - always very interesting. Amber mentioned there are builders that she likes - would she be willing to share their names? We’re looking to build in Hilo. 🙏🤙

How much does it cost for a a standard chain-link fence vs. cattle panel fence over a one-acre property (e.g. HPP). Mahalo!

How was the lot by the library free before? Was it a private land owner letting people park there for free previously? Or was it owned by Hawaii County?

Thanks guys,

Please don't even kid about Hawaii becoming the next Maui. 😂

Audio cuts off frequently in a number of places, e.g. 27:36 and others.

I love your energy. But just drop kona encourage waikoloa. Do shows on waikoloa and let the businesses fight for parking. We NEVER EVER go to kona and we live 4 mikes from town. Lance is sorta correct. Business has to negotiate parking with their leasing.

great info ladies .... mahalo

We moved due to politics! About 4-5 years ago Washington State in their wisdom, passed a law saying insurance companies COULD NOT do credit checks as they considered it discrimination. This caused insurance companies to give notice that the policies were going up by a large amount. This was the last straw for my husband and I and we moved to the Big Island. Before we left there was such an outcry that the Governor thought he would get voted out because of it so, they back peddled and the bill quietly disappeared. Suddenly insurance companies were allowed to do credit checks again. On another note we had company lately that wanted to see downtown Kona. We told them no because of parking issues. We could drop them off and pick them up in a few hours but they declined.

As a 33 year resident still living dead center on zone 1, it’s my understanding building on said zone will negate getting a building permit , let alone insurance. Please stay wherever you are , the lava is 1000% coming back here, so I can keep enjoying capital gains free serenity!PS: if your small brain feels more comfortable on zone 2or3, think again, if you look at lava flow maps, it’s coming there too!

I like HI beaches no HOA, already has paved roads, electric, water, mail, wifi. Prices reflect the higher insurance with lower prices. I really like HI beaches even though the lots are smaller. Bifen keeps fire ants aout of the house

You did not bring up that it is mostly catchment and solar, a lot of bad roads and HOA and road maintenance rip offs. Some neighborhoods are good some are not. But do like the larger lots. My preference is HI beaches no HOA fees all paved, mail, easy WIFI, access to water and electric. The insuance is higher but it compensates for lower prices. HPP and ANAILOA have become overprices in the last few years.

Love watching you guys! So much knowledge. How do I get a mug? 😬

I know this very well with East hawaii the plants and Moss grow FAST. So people will have to hire people to do the yard work OR ELSE learn how to operate and fix Lawn Mowers Weed Trimmers, Chainsaws, Power Washer, Basically learn to do your own work.<<<<<<<< Is what i had to do as my personally experience. and learn to compramise with problems when they arise

Great video. good information for people like me that had/have a Fasination of Moving to hawaii it is the Paradise of Limited Resources, I have lived here now in East Hawaii since May 18 2007 But i have to disagree about the rain, I believe it rains more in HPP vs. Hilo and especially Leilani Estates/Pahoa or it least it did when we use to do yard work in those areas back in 2007 to 2018 before Leilani got hit with lava

Do NOT move here if you think this is a relaxed and safe lifestyle! Its a total hassle! Dont be fooled by the commercial advertising!!!

With all the negatives of living in Hawaii you should all pack up and move back to you’re home land

Do your homework Condos everywhere are receiving increased scrutiny from building inspectors lenders insurance companies etc. after the Champlain Towers disaster in Surfside FL matter of fact read up on the "Florida Condo Glut" then decide - deferred maintenance is a huge scary issue be sure not to get tricked into buying a problem

This place is unsafe, very dangerous.

In escrow on condo in Hilo and have found the lack of answers frustrating. The docs were well over 300 pages and included minutes. We were hoping the minutes would reflect actual comments by owners but they just included the statement “owners made comments…”. No specifics. Asked questions of the managing company about insurance and was referred to the master agent insurer who hasn’t returned any phone calls. Is there anyway to find out about a building maintenance history without having to knock on owners doors (it’s a security building)?

Choke chronics, insane crime

Please tell us more about Hawaiian Beaches, Hawaiian Shores
