I went to jr highschool in Hilo. Coming from Northern California it was a bit of a culture shock. The pigeon, the fact thay I was a haolie… Definitely not easy. I’ve spent time on a couple of the islands, including molakai and unless you want your life to be that island life, I wouldn’t recommend it.
Comment on What is the worst US state to live in generally?

As someone who has lived in 4 different states, and two very different areas of California, the worst by my metrics was Hawaii.
Yes, it has lovely weather, yes, it is a great place to visit… That does not make it a lovely place to live. Once you’ve done all the touristy things, you have to deal with the day to day. Prices are just higher for everything. It all has to come from somewhere, and it’s in the middle of the ocean.

I heard property tax is super cheap though

I hear housing is extremely expensive as well. Plus the roaches are… plentiful

Roaches are one thing. The large centipedes are something else entirely.
