Pahoa has the highest concentration of historic buildings in all of Hawaii, with some of them dating back to 1900. … there's plenty of boutiques and galleries, along with a boardwalk to entertain you.

Kind of impressive, considering the whole volcano/rift situation...

(Kapa'a) "the average mortgage and rent bills are still pretty high at $1,851 and $1,463, respectively. "
I didn't know that the average renter was getting a subdivided studio with shared bath and kitchenette.

Pahoa comes with other perks too.
Where else in the country can you stand outside in a 1/2 mile long line to enter a post office?

If you're not happy with the value proposition that is living in Hawaii, feel free to shop around.
You would be amazed what $1800/month gets you in some places.

Such as Thailand for example? I'm curious what you've been amazed with for $1800 elsewhere.
It would be interesting to see how the average Pahoa mortgage value of 1,000 per month is determined in the lead story.

People like me who bought near the bottom of the market bringing the averages down.
