Cost of a house and traffic dont bother me, its the monopoly cost of electricity, water, car registration and safety check along with Hawaii competitive prices being so high since we are stuck on an island with no other choices...
To make a living here sadly comes at the cost of taking passing on those prices to consumers. That is why there are so many small businesses in Hawaii.

Case in point, have photovoltaic? Hmm, HECO states it needs to investigate for another 6 mos. whether or not your system is safe for self reliance or being off the grid and redirecting the solar energy to HECO. Can you imagine HEC sending you a paycheck? BS,. They just dont want the hundreds of homeowners to decrease their monthly bills thus negating any income...

Don't move here is you have a subaru. Myself and another guy who had a stock 2007 sti did not pass recon.
The inspector told both of us he has never seen a subaru pass recon for their suspension because it is stiff from the factory.
Dont move here you will regret it in the end.

Just got back from the Big Island. Milk was $4.99/gallon and gas was at $3.999/gal (both at Costco), 33% and 23% above national averages respectively. Moving from California wouldn't be as big of a jump as it would be coming from say Iowa. And, sufficed to say, crime happens everywhere.
my wife is as white as snow, speaks proper english, and thinks this place is more racist then political. "I can't go anywhere without you! With you, it's like we always get hook ups or we just get treated better". i lolz! i keep telling her..... "it's not what you say..... it's how you say it." "sucks to be white!"
i'm going to florida when i retire. land is cheap, weather is good, laid back atmosphere, SOUTHERN FOOD, no tint or emissions, no state taxes, no tornados, i could go on and on!

Mainland costs are not as blatent compared to Hawaii in order to pay for overpaid, underworked, misuses and misappropriations of State funds to pay for salaries and under the table contracts. The State and utilities just passes on the burden to its citizens to pay or raise funds for the wrong doings they do or incur.
