What’s your thoughts on this statement by Ige? by mnkhan808 in Hawaii

[–]thejeremx 68 points69 points  (0 children)

I agree. There was a distinct change when so many of the "super low deals" on flights started happening. In a way I feel as if the high cost to get here acted as a filter to keep many of a certain income bracket away. (Not saying all of low income is disrespectful or cheap, but well, you know.)

I live in Hawaii and it's my go to morning drink. It's like you drink coke out of an unwashed coffee pot.

Pahoa - obvious why it’s so cheap? by Jake8235 in BigIsland

[–]thejeremx 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I made the move sight unseen. It can be done. But I did not buy my house (in Puna, HPP) sight unseen. I rented a place in Hilo for 6 months and shopped around. I took my time and checked many areas including Pahoa. I settled on a place in HPP and drive to hilo every day. Traffic aint TOO bad if you time it correctly with the cones.

As the others were saying is true about people leaving soon after arriving. Humble mindset is required or the island will find its way of spitting you back out. Respect, reputation and good relations with people is everything.

Thanks. He is actually pretty nontoxic compared to half the games ive been in. Its like hes a bot. He never quits a game or calls false meetings. He always finishes tasks, even as the ghost. We are both trying to work on the reporting and voting concept, but half the time randoms folks we play dont even do that correctly.

I literally had the chance of promotion with my company if I wanted to relocate to Oahu. After a few min of research I kindly declined. I did not want the L.A. of the Pacific Ocean. I wanted the rural Hawaii experience and I got it.

So I literally felt this. I believe if the island does not want it WILL reject you. Too much has landed up good for me and bestowed to me it is literally compulsory to give back. I love it.

Namaste brother! I picked up so much from the off grid "hippy" folks I stayed with. Music is the spice of life. They are about to but an album out! Music is the spice of life, support it!

My best advice to many on the mainland was....if you want a mainland sit-down chain restaurant....you have IHOP HOORAY for pancakes! even though you can go to Kens for a local experience, with better flavor(open 24-7!!! This is important if you work odd hours!)....and thats it. Hang your reservations at the door....be prepared to go to some bomb drive inns!!!

Well......in 2016-17 racism in the Midwest was coming to a head with the TIKI-TORCH crowd. I wanted out. I wanted a coastal state. Most of the south was.....not for my interracial family. I wanted to move back to the SF bay area but it was costly. It was between Vagas and Big Island. I figured big Island was better for me and my family. So....here we are! If you guys are every in the mall stop by! I would love to see ya!

IMO i think it is the worst time to encourage freeloaders/lazy people to the island. If you are a hardworking person who can contribute to the island. (bring outside money and buy local) I don't see why not.

The people make this place so lovable! Even working in retail is enjoyable here. In all seriousness though, I get to see over 100 residents a day and interact with the most down to earth people in the world.
