I've lived in Hawaii. The locals hating the tourists is real, but the stories of tourists walking into people's houses and demanding to be treated nice are also true. Everything is priced for tourists. When I lived there, a gallon of milk was $5. This was 15 years ago. It's now $10-$15.

Having jobs and industry outside of the big three could really get people out of the slums, but the big three demand things stay the same. Tourism, shipping, and military. Fruit used to be big, and still is in some areas, but is waning. That's ironic if you know Hawaiian history.

Big companies have started in Hawaii. SeGa for example used to be Service Games. But, most of them moved out or became part of tourism or military.

There is a huge amount of people moving out of the island and being replaced by millionaires and billionaires. The same people changing Seattle or Austin. Then they claim to be local, but don't know Matsumomos or Foodland or why 7/11 so hot.

Then you have the state that uses all of that to keep power. They promote 'Green' in the same way as Seattle or Portland. The majority of people are on some kind of government help. Both parents work to make enough to pay rent.

It's sad to watch, because the actual Hawaii is still there, but disguised by so many liars. The same thing in my home of the PNW.
