I would say no, don't live in Waianae. I know someone who does and he doesn't like it. Granted he is a relative newcomer who frankly doesn't get along well with those outside his cultural background but I have also heard the same from local people who grew up here and from people who live in Waianae but in a rather remote part of it. Waianae is economically and educationally disadvantaged and while I have been there many times without trouble, still, I have heard from people whose opinions I value that there are better choices out there.
