I appreciate you keeping it real about the reality of living there.

We just moved to Oahu from Costa Rica where we had huge spiders including some that would attack you, scorpions, bats, sort of to very poisonous snakes, poison toads, frogs, about a million types of ants and other bugs too numerous to mention ALL COMING IN YOUR HOUSE so when people here complain about bugs I have to smile.

Hawaii symphony member hère. We’ve done most of the Harry Potter movies at the symphony here. Star Wars as well, and have a ton more connecting through in the next few years. You just gotta buy a ticket and come!!

You guys are frank and honest. It's refreshing.

I live in Bay Area and am seriously considering moving to Oahu. Love the sincerity of the video. You deserve more subscribers, Sir

Happy Father’s Day to your dad & you. Your videos are helpful.

Thanks again! We will be looking you the next time we are on the island. We are looking to move possible next year!

Wow Tennessee, bro I know how hard traveling can be. I'm a traveling nurse and travel the whole US. Truly fortunate and blessed. One of these days I'll get a travel gig back home in Oahu 😇

The main thing I disliked and liked about Oahu when I was stationed there was the weather, it’s always the same. Granted I’m from the north east, now in Florida and used to seasons. Didn’t miss extreme cold though.

Personally, what I like least about living in Hawaii is that the islands are somewhat small and are very far from other countries. very good video by the way 🤙🏼

Just started watching your videos I'm a New Yorker and I cannot wait for the day to call Oahu my home. Love the videos keep them coming. 🤙🤙🤙 Mahalo

My son stationed at Schofield. Been lucky to visit your island and humbly learn about Oahu

Great video, ty!

You can use a freight forwarder to pick up equipment from Rogue or whatever you want to buy and they ship it to Hawaii for you.

Being from Alaska, this video could apply to 90% of the same struggles here (less bugs, though, haha). Being “separated” from the main land be because of Canada has some similar struggles. But, my wife and I LOVE Oahu. We’re visiting in a couple weeks with our kiddos and look forward to enjoying the sunshine and beaches, instead of frostbite and snowballs! Haha

Reasons 1-15: The cost of living for me. I was previously stationed here and most of my living expenses were covered so it wasnt too bad. I got out and took a good paying government contracting job, even with the relatively good pay it is still brutal to make it out here. Overall great video!

I wasn't born in Hawaii. Lived here (on Oahu) in the mid-1950's and again from 1959-1961. This was thanks to the United States Navy when my dad was in the Navy. Over the seventy-five years of my life I've lived from coast to coast on the Mainland. What I like best about Hawaii are/is the Hawaiian people. Nowhere else in the U.S. have I ever been treated as nicely as I am living here in Hawaii. My wife and I have lived on Molokai for almost five years. Wonderful place. The people, as far as I'm concerned, are the nicest people I've ever lived amongst, including those wonderful people on Oahu. Hawaii isn't a cheap place to live. But, as far as I'm concerned, Hawaii No Ka Oi. Andy McKane, Maunaloa, Molokai.

Excellent analysis and spot on! I lived in Oahu for 20 years in Kahala/Diamond Head location, right on the beach (doesn’t get any better when living in Hawaii), and ultimately really got tired of the weather. Everyone thinks the weather is great, but you have to like sunny, hot and humid nearly all year round. Clammy and sweaty is the norm and forget about trying to live without air conditioning. Bay Area weather is so much nicer to live in. If you’re from a nice part of CA with all it has to offer, think twice before moving to the islands.

I live in Tennessee and Maui it’s awesome to move back and forth. I know some don’t care for it though

👀 Thank you! I’m moving to Oahu in January. I look forward to learning island ways and traditions and being apart of the culture. Can you do a mention on golfing there?

Heya! New sub ☘️

Just like any big city if you got money it can be great if you don't it sucks

I think what they did to Hanama Bay was the worst thing about it for me. I moved there in '82 and that was my favorite place to go. After they regulated it and put in that paved parking lot I stopped going all altogether.

If you hate it ......leave and go somewhere you like. Sounds like Cali is for you ! Born and raised here and love it all day everyday.

I miss the geckos. They are a sign of good luck. I do not miss the ants. The roaches? I got used to them after a while. They don’t bite, yah? 😏

One thing not mentioned is politics which is causing the cost of living to rise dramatically, you vote what you get. The higher costs are makes affordable housing impossible so examining your politicians closely on legislation that impacts negatively on the cost of living. The concept that the government the governs least governs best may apply.

08:20 Big Island Grass fed beef from Safeway is less expensive than their Mainland beef. Go figure.

Howzit, I lived here on Oahu for 66 years and still love living here. My secret is live in moderation. My parents weren’t rich and rented all their life so I was on my own. Got married in 1976 rented a 2 bedroom apartment in Waipahu for $200 a month then, been living in Waipahu since then renting till August 1995 I bought my 3 bdrm 2 bath apartment for 189 K just built. If my good friend and drinking buddy hadn’t convinced me to buy a place I would have missed the boat as far as owning a piece of the rock. Luckily for me I retired military and use the VA home loan. That made a difference because I was paying near the same for mortgage versus rent at $1200 a month for nothing down. Now my place is valued at according to City and County more than three times what I bought my place for. When I die my place will go to my daughter who lives in Colorado Springs. My son bought his own place in 2003, he got his piece so my daughter will at least have a place on this island to call home.

Back in 2005 I bought a car at that little lot (yes I paid 18% interest cuz I was a dumb Private) right outside Schofield. Turned out it was infested with roaches. You’d be driving them all of a sudden little baby roaches are running around everywhere. It was bugged 3 times just to get rid of them. Lol

I was doing security patrol at Kukui Plaza when I opened the 2nd floor business elevator door and I saw this long black worm. I asked my coworker "wtf is that?" and he said it was a centipede. It was hyoooge. I'd never seen one before. And a great time not for me to have my cell camera; it was in my locker. Damn!! The coffee here is on another level. Kona coffee is my favorite coffee. In fact, I'm having some right now at the main Hawaiian coffee shop in San Diego. Culturally, I fit in better in Hawaii than here in San Diego even though I have no trace of Hawaiian or anything related to the islands. I loved my time there and would move back in a heartbeat. (PS: I understand the Mexican food has gotten better. I only knew of the restaurant by Waialae and H1. It wasn't too good. I don't think it's there anymore)

I was born on Oahu but as a white dude, or as they say in Hawaii "haole", you get some hate from certain locals simply because the color of your skin. It's really pretty sad and by that I mean sad for them and their low brow mindset not for me.

I did a comparison for cost of living on hawaii compared to new york and hawaii was cheaper.

Long Beach California it be suns out guns out that’s why I moved to Oregon to raise my kids now they’re grown and we’re thinking Hawaii since we go there 3-4x a year and we pass as locals hahahcheeehuuu

These are common observations in most islands fir sure.

The one and only thing I hate about Hawaii are the gigantic roaches that it has. I must have been traumatize by roaches as a toddler in Hawaii. I have a roach phobia. It drove me out of Hawaii. I am deadly afraid of them even though I would gather as much courage as I can to kill them. I live in Central Texas now and haven't seen a roach in years.

Brah - what I saw you do in the culture segment won my heart. What I hate? The pilau habit of da slippahs all hamjang da kine - IRRAZ!

My big cons would be small and clausterphobic feeling, lack of privacy, lack of camping.

0812 I wish those are the prices of gas today! Feb 2022

Update on Spectrum cell reception??

Lack of produce? I wanted to move there just for tropical fruit

Be humble

Traffic!!!

Our culture is very much similar. But, our younger generation are more Americanized and we are losing it. Love your video and thanks. I'm from Guam and we live in Alabama now. After retiring from the Army, Alabama is my home. Hafa Adai!

Never have trouble with cellphones.. From outside, if you're a Haole, hard to find friends, some animosity toward Haoles- esp. if you're pushy. You gotta be young and pretty, otherwise might be left out. But hey, less likely you'll get shot.

My grandpa (he was mixed native Hawaiian) came from hawaii and that’s where he met my grandma (born and raised in korea but lived in Hawaii) so I feel a huge part of my heritage comes so hearing the unpleasant parts of it make me feel it’s an actual real place instead of a fantasy place where my ancestors came from I feel all these are minor downsides compared to just being so close to the ocean 24/7 and being where my folks came from It feels like a place that I would feel like I belong Living in a 95% white neighborhood most my life I want a connection with the god damn culture that I was stolen from

Maui > Oahu

Get you a few cat they take care all the bugs

I have been to Hawaii a few times and found the native Hawaiians very stuck up.

Police on Big Island voyeurism on the communities

The ignorance of the locals is phenomenal.

No thanks so freaking expensive! I love California

how about everything?

If I was active duty and got BAH, there is NO way I would rent. I would buy for sure. BAH is high. Buying is the best investment esp in Hawaii.

Why move here to whine about it ?? I assume you visited and speculated what it’ll take to live here ?…

Hate is a strong word, but I suppose it helps with the KZfaq algos 🤷‍♂️

Animal abuse

Bub….what the hell RESPECT are you yammering about??????????

Cry me a river.

Spectrum is the best for your ISP network router using coaxial cable such as the way a mainlander would use Xfinity as the carrier for Verizon for your television streaming. Here's the catch. When you take Spectrum on your iPhone to the Bay Area, and in my case, San Francisco, your phone data uploads, like short videos for Instagram and Facebook, get second tier status and your friends on Verizon in San Francisco get your text messages up to three hours late. If you text them on your 808 Spectrum iPhone, they may not get your text for days, unless you first share contact information close to each other and they DELETE YOUR OLD CONTACT PHONE NUMBER. In Waikiki, such that if you're in Ala Moana Park by Magic Island for the New Year's fireworks, or on Kuhio beach with lots of other people with phones, your speed can suffer a bit more than those with Verizon first tier. If you are a Verizon 5G person on your phone, keep it, and your 415 650 or 707 number. Then get Spectrum for your home Wifi and DO NOT GET THE BUNDLE. Repeat at least three times to the clerk at the Spectrum store YOU ONLY WANT INTERNET and get the high speed boost to up to 300mbps, if you have line of sight to the tower the signal is coming from, which is the black glass building near the Don Quixote store by Kalakaua and Kapiolani--you have great service. I lived on the third floor of a nine story building in a great condo on Beachwalk, but did not have line of sight with the tower by Kalakaua and Kapiolani behind the 24 hour fitness center and home internet and cell wifi sucked. T-Mobile shined me on, just like Spectrum. They will never be honest with you and use excuses like, "We're working on the tower." Total BS. Don't keep T-Mobile unless you are in a modern building where you can confirm with other residents! I have since moved to an inexpensive three story walk-up building without an elevator, and have three tall buildings of 20 stories or more on three of four sides, but because I am on Ala Wai Blvd., with no tall buildings blocking me from the golf course side to the north, across from the canal, I have free and clear fast internet. Just as good as MonkeyBrains in San Francisco.
