WELCOME TO HAWAII!?


Behind, the many smiles of the native local people of Hawaii lies layers of truth. Sadness, desperation, bitterness, tiredness, anguish, fear, and brokenness are all within the deepest of layers. "Welcome to Hawaii!" Yes, this common phrase is often said, and accompanied with a smile; when landing in major cities such as Honolulu, Kailua-Kona, Kailua, and Waianae.
While you are being greeted at the local airport, and are starting to feel welcome in Hawaii; there is an unwelcoming side of Hawaii that seems to be endless. Homelessness, illegal immigration, the increase in housing price, crime, and healthcare coverage are things that might make you feel..... unwelcome.
Don't be discouraged. Hawaii is still an awesome place to visit. But, do consider bringing yourself to the understanding of the unwelcoming side of it and use your good sense of judgement when considering to settle there, unless; of course you can afford the expenses of it.
Know you environment and the combating crisis that comes along with it. Paradise in Hawaii, at the 100% level of your expectations is not realistic in 2024. However, you can still have some sort of percentage of Paradise in Hawaii.... It is up to you to find it!
