Take a look at my post a few weeks ago.
"Feel like you are being priced off the island".

I guess it's no big deal that Helco, home owners insurance, and property taxes are raping us. According to the people who commented on my post, It's all "normal" here in Hawaii and I guess we are getting a pretty good deal. Just sit back and enjoy Hawaii, and be glad you are not getting hammered for complaining about Helco like I did. If Helco is raising their rates monthly, can you afford next year? Don't worry about planning for the future, just think about Helco evicting you from Hawaii in the next 6 month or so. The best part is that fuel prices are the big excuse Helco uses, but I would bet Helco rates don't go down come fall when Gas prices do. Yippee!
Prepare yourself for the ultra exclusive development called Hawaii, coming VERY soon! It will be a wonderful place where all clothes lines are thankfully replaced with electric dryers, no one ever has dirty chickens or gardens in their yards, and no more eyesores consisting of solar panels, home made rock walls, old vehicals or wind generators Just HUGE beautiful homes, Land Rovers, high heels and Prada bags. The Hawaiians say that white people moving here are taking over their island. In many ways that's very true, however at this point they still have an Island. After Helco is through raping everyone, damn near everyone except the VERY rich will be gone. Just how many Native Hawaiians are VERY rich? Helco and the Hawaiian Government will be the ones that take away the Hawaiian's land by pricing them off of it.
Now I will pad myself and prepare for the Punaweb beating.
