When I first moved here decades ago a local Hawaiian friend told me about the "Onomea? crab syndrome" in response to asking him if he liked living on the Big Island. The only problem he said was "if you become successful and happy other people will try to pull you down like the black crabs in a 5 gallon bucket. Just as one reaches the top and almost over and out, the others drag him back down.

Also sociologists did studies due to high crime rates including highest domestic violence in the USA, and determined the Big Island local population was a culture on the decline. No link sorry, read the studies about 35 years ago.

Same ole stuff different props and people.
