[quoteLet's not forget that many people would not touch Hilo with a 10 ft.pole:
1.Too much rain
2.Lack of beaches and ocean access
3.The lack of good quallity restaurants.
yes, that's the official party line of people who love living in Hilo ... believe this is true and stay away.
Having lived in Hilo for the last two years, honestly the rain never bothered me. When you own a home with lots of outside area under roof, it's no big deal to step under the eaves when a squall comes. When gone, air is fresh.
Beach -- something I seek out when I go on vacation.
Drive to the west side for a vacation day.
Good eats? Are you kidding? One of the places on the island you can eat out, get good local and ethnic food and not be gouged for it! I lived on the west side two years and can honestly say I don't miss the restaurants there one bit.
But please people, don't move to Hilo. It's infested with roaches the size of monstera fruit. Give me some time with my Photoshop program and I'll post the terrifying truth about Hilo.
