Post the most horrible things you have about Hawaii

People born and raised there are completely priced out of the market.

Evictions on the rise.

Homeless population greater than anywhere in the US.

People from all over the world looking to be homeless in Hawaii.

Trashy nasty tourists

Rife with drug abuse.

Top 5 in the US for traffic congestion.

Terrible public schools.

Governor declares a state of emergency for homelessness.

Hawaii teachers are ranked worst in the nation.

Where is that famous Karen video?

Gas and inflation are the highest in the United States.

When I was SCUBA diving and visiting Hawaii frequently, I kept hearing that surfers were being killed by sharks and that the government was hushing up the deaths.

"Oh the divers are fine!" the rumor-mongers would say, "They dive in shallow reefs where the harmless shark species are, but the surfers are in deep water where the tiger sharks are. And the surfers don't spend any money, not like the divers, so the government doesn't care if they get killed."

Hawaii people are fucking idiots.

They do absolutely nothing about these problems. They just ignore it.

I've heard that the traffic on Oahu is not only godawful but dangerous, because Japanese tourists rent cars and try to drive on the wrong side of the road.

Millionaires building monster homes in Hawaii and charging over $2000 rent per month to stupid renters with nowhere else to go.

Meanwhile, the owners of these monstrosities are raking in tens of thousands of dollars per month.

That field reporter at r16 is cute as fuck but that accent is a no-go. Is that a Hawaiian accent? If so, add it to the list as a bad thing about the state.

Poi.

Poi.

Larry Ellison, Mark Zuckerberg, Oprah Winfrey, Roseanne, and tons of other celebrities are all major landowners in Hawaii.

Prices will never go down.

Crystal Meth.

Most racist state in the Union. Locals hate haoles, Buk buks hate bodingees, everyone hates papolos, military hates mahus unless they’re trannys, meth heads will slice your throat for $10.

[quote] Terrible public schools.

God, I wish I lived in Connecticut!

How is Maui?

Tiki statues!

Spam

R22 Lucky you have never been to the south.

Speaking from personal experience, being racially abused and told to leave, just for walking down the street.

Speaking from what I've read, the way the native people lost their land, and also the meth problem.

I do understand points one and two are related.

[quote]Trashy nasty tourists

Trashy nasty locals

Too many fucking vowels in its name.

[quote]the way the native people lost their land

To be fair the native people did not "lose" their land. The locals with land gave it away by marrying haoles who rabidly gobbled it up.

It was only when it was all gone that the locals realized what had happened.

They get sidelined in their own place by a bunch of greedy sugar and pineapple farmers. Not nice.

Some of the dumbest people I've ever encountered have been from Hawaii.

Why would anyone ever want to live there?

It's a 6 hour flight to get anywhere outside of Hawaii.

Because away from the methy areas it's gorgeous and the weather is nearly perfect.

[quote] the weather is nearly perfect

Everyone's definition of "nearly perfect weather" will vary.

Personally, I can't stand Hawaii's stifling heat and humidity.

Give me cool, crisp Fall weather any day of the week.

OP = Guam Chamber of Commerce

Seems like a place to start the birth control experiment. Pay them to get sterilized. End homelessness and drug addicts having babies. Let the population even out to allow the economy to strengthen with actually viable working adults. Or feed all criminals to the sharks. I got nothing 🤷🏿‍♀️

[quote]Personally, I can't stand Hawaii's stifling heat and humidity.

Neither of those are true.

The temperature never and I mean NEVER goes above 90 degrees F. Or below 60 for that matter.

The only time the humidity is a problem is for a period of 2 days to 2 weeks in August when the trade winds die.

The rest of the time the weather, the sky and the ocean are glorious. The people, not so much.

What are bodingees, R22?

Are mahus prostitution whores?

What's a papalo? A papa on the downlow?

What's a Bukbuk? Isn't that what chickens say?
