"No other way to make a living"
This delusional statement sums up the victim mentality that says that subsistence labor is an honorable or impressive thing to do...
I think he was questioning your use of the word dream because you had it in quotes, as if someone else had mentioned it. I didn't see anyone imply that subsistence wage labor was noble either.
Who's to say that all of those commuting to work on Kona side have low paying jobs? I'd be willing to bet that many of them get paid quite well. Nevertheless, their housing dollars go much farther living on the East side so that's their choice. For that matter, I don't know how anyone affords to live on the West side, unless they've already made a fortune somehow. Real estate prices there are stratospheric.
