Oh, don't get me wrong, worth it to live in paradise. Also, I know what you mean about the housing costs, same here. Much of what we are finding in Hawaii is comparable to or even cheaper than what we have here, but here comes with stifling heat and humidity with tons of bugs 2-3 months a year, blistering cold and wind, many times with snow for 3 months a year, cold and damp and windy another 4 months of the year,weeks at a time not seeing the sun and of the 2-3 months left, still got bugs, all day rains and windy most of the time. In a good year, Illinois gets 20-30 really nice days a year, and even then you still have all the mosquito swarms and flies, gnats, chiggers, ticks, etc. On the bright side, you learn to appreciate it when you get them, even though they always seem to come on days you're working all day.
