What I Wish I Knew Before Buying a Condo in Hawaii
Everyone knows that housing in Hawaii is expensive. I'm thankful that I was able to buy a condo in Honolulu several years ago. And yes, it's been great to not have to commute to work. However, as my living situation has changed from just me to a family of four, I'm not sure how we move from where we are to where we want to be. Where exactly are we supposed to go? A house on the west side? Another condo in Town? So I just wanted to put this out there because I wish I would have heard something like this when I first moved to Town. It wouldn't have deterred me from buying a condo, but it would have been something I would have planned for better.

Why I'm Not Taking My Valuables for a Swim (a local’s take on HPD's beach advice)
Просмотров 14 тыс.День назад
The Honolulu Police Department recently gave advice to the public on how they can keep their valuables safe at the beach. Their suggestion was for people to swim with their valuables in a waterproof bag. Well, HPD received a lot of criticism for this advice and I wanted to talk about what they suggested and offer a local's perspective on keeping your stuff safe. We go to the beach in Honolulu r...

    Chasing passion is a flawed idea in today's society. Hawaii's infrastructure (energy, technology, buildings, roads, and more) is decrepit and the government is unwilling to resolve the pre-existing issues and fail to use taxpayers' money in good faith. It's this stifling of innovation and waste that has caused a huge outflux of Hawaii locals migrating to the other U.S. states and countries.

    I have lived both with a long commute and without a commute in a downtown. I much prefer the shorter commute to the bigger property. You think life will be all that if you have a square of grass, but in reality, the kids don’t spend that much time on it, and you have another thing to maintain. And you all spend too much time in the car. If you cannot move up to more indoor space downtown, maximize what you have with all the great tips out there, and then go enjoy your free time out and about in town and at the beach.

    Kaki mochi makes total sense to me being derived from Japanese language. In Kobe slang, O-kaki means Arare. Some Hawaiians say Mochi Crunch. Also in Kobe, KiriKiri means crazy. Like swirling in the head.

    As a security guard for 8 years, security is for losers. Trade hours of your life for money. No real benefits of working security. Get shit on by people while having no actual power to do anything. Basically a hall monitor. If you work security reflect on where you went wrong in your life.

    I grew up in Hawaii and absolutely rice with every meal. I’m now 50 and was diagnosed pre-diabetic with hypertension two years ago. I cut rice out of my diet (along with other carbs and added sugar) and I’m much better now. Rice is now a treat (along with Mac salad). I miss it but everything in moderation. Not three meals a day.

    Hawai'i, like anywhere, can be made to suit the life experiences that you are searching for, but it can easily be a prison in itself for others. It's what you dedicate and make it to be for yourself.

    It's not the rice that is the problem. It is the saturated fat and processed foods. Processed meats such as Spam are known carcinogens. Type 2 DM is actually caused by intramuscular fat. Of course, the healthiest diet is the whole-food, plant-based diet. I would recommend listening to Dr. Neal Barnard. Watch Fork over Knives documentary

    When state congress was in session I sent a proposal to a representative to address housing in Hawaii but they never responded. My proposal is designed for native Hawaiians and people who have lived on island for a certain time period. It used tourism as a spark to fund a program that affects housing. If you’re interested feel free to message me.

    I went on vacation to Hawaii about 16 years ago and I couldn't have been more disappointed. I had no idea there was that much poverty in Hilo. I think we may have gone to the wrong island. I'll stay on the mainland for my vacations. South Carolina and in particular North Carolina has really nice beaches and it's a lot closer for me. I wouldn't want to live in Hawaii; too expensive and being stuck on a rock. I don't think so. LOL. Hope you find a nice place to raise your children

    I bought my condo in Makiki , in 2011. But it was a lease hold property. So in 2016, as an owner, I was given the opportunity to buy the fee. So I worked really hard on my credit score, worked to pay my bills down, and I was able to get a mortgage in 2017 to buy the fee. Now I own my condo and the lease hold turned to condo status last year. My poor condo needs a full renovation and I never had the money for that. I’ll either sell it soon or try get the money to renovate.

    Sir, might I bring up: high beam drivers. Comes in two flavors: 1) normal height vehicles with their high beams on, or 2) lifted trucks on low beam lights. Either way, it's a nuisance, and downright dangerous. It's made worse by the ultra white headlights used on modded trucks.

    Drove through there for the first time in 20 years today... and was shocked that the town has let squatters take over most the parks. Why should any pay attention to the law when they have blatant violations staring in their face everyday ? You completely missed what the mayor was saying... what he was saying was if you want us to stamp downtime don't raise a ruckus when we arrest someone. The citizens set the tone, you can't have soft on crime policies and expect low crime. The public has to support the clean up or it is doomed to fail.

    Rice is totally not necessary! As someone of Chinese ethnicity myself, I grew up in it as well. However, for fitness reasons, awhile back, I decided to cut back on it completely. I ended up feeling sluggish, and even skinny fat! Now I just eat a moderate amount, and feel better than ever. A bit of carbs is still necessary!
