Why Nobody Lives In Northern Scotland
In this video, we explore why Scotland’s northern regions, particularly the Highlands, remain so sparsely populated. Stunning landscapes and rich wildlife draw visitors, but challenges like harsh weather, limited infrastructure, and a high cost of living deter many. Historical land clearances and reliance on seasonal industries further complicate the region's growth. Despite its beauty and slower lifestyle, the remoteness and daily inconveniences mean the Highlands will likely remain a rugged wilderness-a unique home for only the most adaptable residents.

Why Nobody Lives On These Hawaiian Islands
มุมมอง 48K16 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
In this video, we explore why most of Hawaii’s residents live on O'ahu, while other islands remain sparsely populated. O'ahu’s flat terrain and economic advantages made it ideal for development, while factors like volcanic hazards, limited infrastructure, zoning laws, and costly inter-island travel have slowed growth on other islands. Hawaii’s history, geography, and economic realities reinforc...

Why Australia's Geography Is SO Unique
มุมมอง 106หลายเดือนก่อน
In this video, we explore why Australia's geography is so unique. Its journey began over 180 million years ago when it separated from Gondwana, leading to its isolation. This has resulted in unique wildlife, ecosystems, and landscapes, from the Great Barrier Reef to the arid Outback. Australia’s geography is characterized by contrasts, including diverse coastlines, vast deserts, and ancient roc...
Why The Rocky Mountains Have a HUGE Effect On U.S. Weather
มุมมอง 2.5Kหลายเดือนก่อน
In this video, we will explain why the Rocky Mountains have a huge impact on U.S. weather. Stretching over 3,000 miles, these towering peaks shape the climate across North America. The Rockies create the "rain shadow effect," resulting in wet western slopes and dry eastern plains. They also generate powerful Chinook winds, which can drastically raise temperatures. Furthermore, the Rockies influ...

This video explains why Florida's population is heavily concentrated in the southern half of the state. Historical factors, such as early European settlements, geographic features like low elevation, extensive coastlines, and limestone bedrock, along with economic factors like natural harbors, have made Southern Florida more attractive for development. In contrast, Northern Florida, especially ...
Why the US-Mexico Border Is Defined By A River
มุมมอง 1852 หลายเดือนก่อน
In this video we explore the historical and geographical complexities of the U.S.-Mexico border, focusing on how it came to be defined by the Rio Grande. It starts by tracing the origins of the border dispute from the early 19th century, when Texas declared independence from Mexico and claimed the Rio Grande as its southern boundary. The conflict intensified after the U.S. annexed Texas in 1845...
Why Did Spain Give Florida to the US Basically for FREE
มุมมอง 1883 หลายเดือนก่อน
In this video we explore why Spain ceded Florida to the U.S. for what seemed like a minimal cost in 1819. At the time, Spain was struggling to maintain its crumbling empire, and Florida had become more of a liability than an asset. The U.S., dealing with issues like Seminole raids and British influence in Florida, saw acquiring the territory as crucial. Through skilled diplomacy and the Adams-O...

The Fascinating Geography Of Patagonia Explained
I live on the Big Island, moved from Oahu in 1991. A big factor is the lack of good paying jobs, so my husband and I flew (commuted) to Oahu for over 20 years to be able to live on the BI. That was when it was more affordable. Loved Aloha Airlines..now that is a wonderful Local airline.
Well done video.
This is an accurate assessment as to why the population is concentrated on Oahu.
It’s O’ahu, not “owahoo” and it’s Honolulu, not hanalulu ❤ mahalo!
You do understand that he's not Hawaiian, don't you? Expecting an American to pronounce Hawaiian words with a Hawaiian accent, is about as big an exercise in futility, as trying to take down a bull elephant, while in musth, with a spitball.
Have you ever heard of *Duluth*
Curious that you completely failed to mention Puuwai in this video. Also, Molokai has a small population because that island is considered a "safe haven" for the native population and has discouraged tourism.
Imagining the islands are connected with bridges and highways: Big Highways from big island to Kauai (with big stopping areas, looking out to ocean, and dining shops and restaurents) that would be really something. You only need big highways connecting islands to islands ( four islands actually)
Unfortunately the vast swaths of “newcomers” to our state are very undesirable immigrants
NOBODY live on those other islands? People who over use "absolutes" then to be imprecise and often undereducated. NEVER? ALWAYS? NOBODY? EVERYBODY?
If 70% of the population is in one place, it's pretty safe to deduce that the other 30% live on the other islands. Saying "nobody lives there" means only that, compared to Oahu. Americans and their figures of speech. "The vast majority". Feel better now? -_-
Another Hawaii video by someone who probably has never spent much time here and probably doesn't know anybody who is Hawaiian
Nothing about Kona. I've heard it's a fascinating if volcanic isle & I've seen the lava flows in documentaries. And there's the coffee...
Are you referring to the Kona section of the Big Island???
My dad's family is all on the Big Island. Most locals don't want more people to move there. The traffic(which didn't exist when I was a kid visiting there) is ridiculous and so is the trashing of what was once an absolute paradise. All for the almighty dollar which hardly makes it into the hands of longtime locals! That goes for most of the other islands too.
Lol this guy has no clue.
Also there's a leprosy island you can't visit.
Kalaupapapa isn't an island.
Ain't it amazing how the big island doesn't have desalination plants to support it? And the other small islands are made up of local assholes who have don't want White people living on them
None of the other islands have Oahu’s excellent natural ports (Pearl Harbor, Ala Moana, and Kaneohe Bay), which gives it a tremendous advantage. The Big Island has no such bays. Its coastline is very geologically immature so it would be a massive undertaking to build out infrastructure there.
I may have missed it, but it's important to mention that the main campus of the University of Hawaii is also on the island of Oahu and thus is a major source of employment and draws an international student and faculty population.
@@elainemarie3013 been there, done that.
Aloha from a person who lives on da Big Island. This video is comically full of misinformation🤙🏼
How so?
Examples? I want to learn.
@@peacecraft3449 too much to enumerate.
@bristleconepinus2378 Yeah I'm seeing people say that yet no one is giving a single answer.....
Why no specifics? Pearl Harbor is a rare, amazing harbor. That makes it the trade hub. With the addition of the military base and government jobs, it is natural the international airport is there. Transportation is the cornerstone of wealth generation.
I'm a resident of Maui and you're an idiot.
You have less than ten minutes to pack in information about all the islands. GO!
False and misleading
It is accurate in a very general sense. Details will be lacking in a video less than 10 minutes in length.
Examples?
Agriculture used to even out the populations. Sugar and pineapple plantations existed long before tourism and employed lots of people on the outer islands, especially the "Big Island" of Hawaii. Competition from the Philippines and Central America killed those industries. Many decedents of those workers moved to Oahu for work. Not judging if it was a good or bad thing, just a big factor not mentioned in the video.
Hawaii need exemptions from the Feds to bring down the cost of living! There are 8 military bases on Oahu, Hawaii is very valuable stategically to America but sorely under appreciated. Help us out!!!
I thought it was about drinking water.
