Why Are People Leaving Hawaii?

Показать описание

Did you know that Hawaii’s population increased seven out of the 11 years between 2010 and 2021? However, more recently this state’s population has seen a shift. Between 2020 and 2021, Hawaii’s population decreased by 0.7%, and today it’s one of the top three states in the nation that people are leaving. Native Hawaiins in particular are leaving this state. Why are people leaving Hawaii? One survey discovered that 370,000 Native Hawaiins now live in the continental US, compared to 310,000 Native Hawaiins who live in Hawaii. That’s right – more Native Hawaiins live outside of Hawaii than in it! But why is Hawaii’s population decreasing? After all, this state is widely considered one of the most beautiful states in the country. Who wouldn’t want to live in a tropical paradise year-round?

I grew up in Hawaii and left in 2018 because of the cost of living, its so much cheaper in the mainland. But, I do miss my family, the people, the ocean, and the food.

You didn't mention rich non residents buying up property, thus raising prices on everything, thus forcing the locals out or homelessness.

I am from California. My neighborhood full of apricot orchards and friendly families is now Silicon Valley. The prices skyrocketed and we could not afford to stay. It happens everywhere. People with money can take over wherever they want.

I bought my 1st home at 21 for 87k sold for 197k, 2nd home 170k and sold for 320k, 3rd 300k and sold for 589k and buyers paid all closing costs expenses etc... It is possible and very lucrative as long as all steps and details are followed|

I grew up in Hawaii in the early 70s and 80s loved growing up there in that time. And I am native but we got prices out of paradise. Didn’t make financial sense to stay.

I'm born and raised in Hawaii and have lived here for 50+ years. My family and I have finally had it with the outrageous cost of living, taxes and ridiculous politics - so we're leaving. Our number one reason is the cost of housing though. We would never be able to afford to buy a home here but can buy a beautiful sapcious home on the mainland, with land, for 1/4th of the price it would cost here. I'm part Hawaiian and am going to miss Hawaii like crazy but I know this is the right choice if I want my family to thrive.

If you got to Hawaii say in the 60's or 70's, The cost of housing although expensive to some was dirt cheap compared by todays standards. My brother sold his home there in 2016 for 2.9 mil. moved to AZ and brought the same style home with more space for 400 grand. He still had almost 1.8 mil left. Nowadays? Good luck finding anything out there decent for less than 2 mil. Sure, you got the ocean breezes and beautiful views near the ocean. But the stress of Money or lack of, is a Debbie Downer. Everything in Hawaii is expensive. And I do mean everything. At some point you gotta think about quality of living and Bills. Good Luck!!

You have successfully squashed any interest I had in going to Hawaii. Thanks for the savings.

edgarsnake

I grew up in Hawaii. You are spot on, but I'll add a few more reasons why it's hard to stay there. The costs of food is extraordinarily expensive, the insurance costs are almost unaffordable and lastly...the crime rate. Theft is rampant in Hawaii for all the reasons mentioned in the video. Expect your home and car to get broken into ( maybe multiple times), but I still get homesick for Hawaii...go figure!😮

if you've ever visited a small island, you already know the answer

I'm a blonde female haole, lived in Honolulu for 12 years from 1983-1995. I loved it, everything about it. I worked for the federal government as a secretary, had a nice condo apt that at that time rented for $525 a month and a nice local landlord who never raised my rent the entire 12 years. I lived downtown near Fort Street Mall and back then there was a sprinkling of homeless who stayed close by the Catholic Church/Charities but nothing like it appears it has become today. I experienced a small amount of the dumb haole treatment but much more aloha from the locals. I embraced the island culture and customs and tried to fit in and never show an attitude that would cause me problems. I left Hawaii for health reasons and a need to be closer to family and because I felt it would be hard to retire there as time went on. I have a warm, special place in my heart for that beautiful place and some days memories of the joy I experienced there brings tears to my eyes. I will always miss Hawaii and am grateful for the time I lived there. I feel bad that so many locals are being forced to leave their birthplace, I know they have to miss it even more than I do.

I lived in Hawaii for 25 years. I went to school and University of Hawaii. One of the reasons I think is that Hawaii is boring and provincial, isolated from the mainland. shows and concerts just bypass Hawaii. It is expensive and there is a current of racism running there, undeniable. I was never was a victim of it. I was aware that it existed as an undercurrent. Another reason… bugs. I mean flying 747 cockroaches that have nothing to do with good or bad housekeeping. It just got so bad for me that my skin started breaking out in cystic acne😢 another reason… the heat. who feels like Christmas when it’s 90° ? I left for California and have never looked back. Would I go back there and live? no, never. the financial opportunities just don’t exist there.

I lived on Oahu Hawaii from 98-01 and it’s not the high cost of everything, there isn’t any jobs there. Anything u want that isn’t there, it takes forever to get shipped and it’s usually damaged from all of the changing of hands. It’s great to visit but not to live unless ur retired. It’s small and u run out of things to do.

Hawaii rent is the same as Philly, Boston, and NYC. And Hawaii is much cheaper than Santa Barbara, CA where a one bedroom could run $5000+ a month. The traffic congestion is just like any other major, tourist city.

barbie

A one bedroom starts around $2, 800, not $1, 700…and homes are always over 1 million to purchase.

celiachantal

Where you getting your info from? Median single family house price is over a million

islandsnow

Correct...we moved from Hawaii to AZ and we’re pleasantly shocked at how inexpensive it is here in comparison...but I miss the beach, surf, and greenery!

anneo

It's SAD to see so many long time Business closing. Crime is also on the rise.
