Waiamea and several other spots in Hawaii are more expensive than Hilo too. Must be a stipulation on number of people per town to enter that comparative list.
The answer to this: Grow your own whenever possible.
Maybe it's starting with some cherry tomatoes on you balcony, maybe banana, kalo and ulu in your front yard. Those require minimal upkeep. Chayote squash, cassava and kabocha pumpkin are a couple others that are very easy. Boom, there you go, a continual carbohydrate source year round. Get a few egg laying hens. Voila. Not too complicated to sustain yourself and others. Tastes great because you grew it yourself. (Tastes even better when organic too.)
