Those retirees who either have a good bundle of savings or can substantially reduce their lifestyles (of consumpton) will be ok. The problem will be medical, the state and counties aren't making it as providers of same. Even If you can pay for it, insurance is hard to get, and for those with pre conditions, near impossible. This will be the governing factor on retirees.
Incidentally, a major medical device maker (medtronics) owner, resettled to Hamakua side, and sponsored a hospital in Waimea! He recently removed himself from any further work with them! Did the state or county have anything to do with that?
If the medical business is anything like any other business, coming to Hawaii is more a curse than an investment.
