Mixing pot

[2liveque]

There are many people in regions far beyond California who want warm weather too. And they can afford it. They are not "rich" per se. Some are, many are not. But financially speaking, they are much better off than many poor souls out here in Hawaii. So they sell their homes on the continent and move to the Big Island to find that next chapter in Paradise. However that chapter plays out touches upon a wide spectrum of possibilities -- good and bad. But let it be known, the numbers of folks...mainly haoles...who move to Hawaii will continue to remain steady. In terms of monies, banks, mortgages, investments, inheritances, stocks, bonds, etc -- it is haole folks who 1) created the game, 2) printed the cards, and 3) made the rules. Therefore, it should not be a surprise that most folk who are able to afford moving to Hawaii are in fact...white. I don't mean no ill will by this, I'm just stating my humble observation. Hawaii will continue to change. Gradually and affirmatively. And white folks will be the dominant group of people who will continue to dictate laws, ordinances, policies, community development plans, etc. Especially in certain regions like Puna, Waikoloa, Ka'u, Kona, Maui, Kailua, Lanikai, Kamuela, Kapaa, etc, etc. etc. Make no mistake about it, Americans of Japanese Ancestry (AJAs) still run things in Hawaii. But continental transplant haoles got the $$$ and making a steady push to stake their claim. Hang tight my good haole friends! Hawaii will be like that place you moved away from in no time!
