  1. Not true, just not what you want them to be. Skill jobs are hard to find, but unemployment is lower than most states, and very stable.

  2. Being born-and-raised in Hawaii, I can vouch for slowly developing relationships among non-kama'aina. That's because, too often, non-locals will leave, making such relationships fruitless. There is also a significant culture gap between locals and visitors. However, "everyone is unfriendly" is quite a blanket statement.

  3. This can be true, much more so than coke or heroin, and largely due to imported meth from the Philippines. But despite this, having lived there, I can speak for the far greater proportion of the population that does NOT have meth problems, and the crime rate in the Islands is among the lowest in the US.

  4. More like "bipolar" education. Public education is hampered by extremely successful private education, most notably exemplified by President Obama's education at Punahou. One cannot rule out the beneficial effect of private schools in Hawaii even if you have to pay to play. Also, somehow I wound up with an entirely public education in Hawaii but found my way through two college degrees with very high marks.

  5. Cannot argue with this. :) One excellent written example is (appropriately enough) titled The Price of Paradise (warning: Amazon link, for those who do not want it "remembered" by your personal login).
