Hawaii will be like that place you moved away from in no time!
If only that were true.
The place I moved away from had no big box stores. You could buy a house at the time I left for under $20,000. Gas is now $1.50 a gallon cheaper there than it is in Hilo. I didn't lock my house doors, or car doors. When on rare occasion there was a robbery, we talked about it for a week or longer, in disbelief.
That's the mainland too.
So why I am I here? Right now it's about 90 degrees colder back there. Pretty good trade off.
