Poll of the Day > Any Native Hawaiians or anyone Visited/Lived There?

(+) Yeah! (+)

How is it? Never been outside of the Continental US, and might wanna take a trip there

I've heard it was Expensive, but anything else about the State/Island?

I have family that has lived there for years. Gorgeous weather, but everything is expensive due to a combination of essentially the whole state being a tourist destination and almost everything having to be shipped in. They have a high percentage of homeless and one of the highest costs of living in the country.

Expensive

You don't want to live here unless you have a very well-paying career opportunity waiting for you, here. Housing prices here are mad, they are. And unless you are willing to share your living space with some other lot, then you shall be paying a very steep price for your lodgings indeed. And as mentioned by Mr. Silver-Thorn, there is indeed a high population of homeless people in this state; they are most prevalent in the cities, but are kept far away from any areas with a high concentration of tourists for reasons that need not be explained. One could infer that such a large population is due to aforementioned housing costs and what-not.

To put it succinctly, it might be a good place to take an expensive vacation, but I highly recommend against living here unless you have the money or a successful career.

Maui is the most beautiful place I have had the pleasure of visiting. Lots of fun things to do and see. Food is great too. Shaved ice is incredible.

Yeah, the relative that I mentioned is a named partner in a law firm and lives on Maui with a wife and two kids and I think their places was like 800sq ft. Its like Manhattan without the option of living someplace cheaper and commuting.

Thanks...also sounds a bit like San Francisco in the Pacific

I'm interviewing in Oahu on Monday. Looks fun but crowded/expensive.

Interviewed on Maui recently. Got rejected, kinda bummed.

@EclairReturns What kind of money would you say you'd need to make there to have a good life, in your opinion?

I'm not really in a position to say.

Are the Chicks Hot?

Some of them are of mostly native Hawaiian ancestry, but most of them are multi-ethnic.
