I was clearly told by the Hawaii DOE recruiter that unless I was a SPED or Math teacher who was willing to work in a high turnover school that I needed to move to Hawaii to secure a teaching job. That was 9 years ago, but I don't think that has changed much. I got jerked around by the DOE hiring process and instead ended up in Hawaii charter schools, I am at my second charter school and doubt I would ever switch to a DOE school.
As far as subdivisions go, we lived in vacation rentals for between 1 to 6 months each all over Puna and then rented an ocean front condo in Keaukaha for about 2 years before we bought a house in HPP. I am really glad we experienced a wide variety of subdivisions and commutes before buying, we DID NOT end up where we thought we would before we moved here. Access to good internet was a big deal for us, and now that so much of my students' work is turned in through google docs it is even more important, as an educator I don't know if I could function without good internet.
