According to a 2017 report (which was updated in September 2018), Hawaii’s state capital and Waikiki Beach — along with other coastal strips on Hawaii’s five islands — are expected to experience frequent flooding within 15 to 20 years.

Hawaii is moving towards Japan at the speed of 10cm a year. This is because they are on different tectonic plates.

Hawaii is 2,390 miles from California; 3,850 miles from Japan; 4,900 miles from China; and 5,280 miles from the Philippines. Hawaii is the only state that grows coffee. More than one-third of the world’s commercial supply of pineapples comes from Hawaii.

Well, excluding Hawaii itself of course, the surprising answer: Alaska. Hawaii is closest to WHICH state? Hawaii is closer to Alaska than it is to California. Hawaii is closer to Alaska than it is to California.

Sugar cane and pineapples are Hawaii’s most valuable crops. Hawaii also produces large quantities of flowers, much for export. Coffee, macadamia nuts, avocados, bananas, guavas, papayas, tomatoes and other fruits are grown. Vegetables raised for local use include beans, corn, lettuce, potatoes and taro.

The primary source of income for Hawaii is the visitor sector which spreads itself over several industries, such as service, transportation and retail trade. Because of this, the question “What are the top ten industries in Hawaii?” is not easily answered.

Tourism

The state’s largest manufacturing export category is petroleum & coal products, which accounted for $303 million of Hawaii’s total goods exports in 2018.

Hawaii’s economy is projected to grow by 2.7% this year as it recovers from the shutdowns last year prompted by the Covid-19 pandemic, a small improvement from the most recent forecast in December, according to a first quarter report by the state Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism, which also said …

So, why the high cost? The high cost of living in Hawaii has many reasons, but the short answer is the fact that we’re surrounded by water. Nearly everything we consume has to be shipped here or flown. Hawaii is also a desirable place for the rich to buy property, which continues to drive up housing costs.

But you would be wrong. Hawaii, no surprise to those who live here, continues to be ranked as one of the best places to live. Hawaii, per this latest report by financial news and opinion website 247wallst.com, ranks as the fourth best state to live in in the country.

In part 2 of this post I’ll detail the pros, but below I will share 18 downsides of living in Hawaii:

• Extremely High Cost of Living.
• There Are No Seasons.
• It’s 80 Degrees And Sunny All Year Long.
• Things Get Done On “Hawaiian Time”
• Lack Of Recycling, Compost, and Overall A Terrible Waste Management System.

The weather is one of the biggest reasons people want to live in Hawaii but it’s also one of the reasons not to live here. There are a variety of weather related concerns when you live on a tiny rock in the middle of the ocean and are 2,500 miles from civilization. One of the biggest would be the dreaded Tsunami.

There is still traffic and crime, and there are still some rude people in Hawaii like anywhere else. We have homeless people and drug problems in Honolulu, like any major city. People who are new to Oahu tend to live for about a year in the honeymoon stage, still euphoric about just living in Hawaii at all.

Fully one quarter of all Hawaii households are pulling in less than $35K per year in income. That’s plain unlivable for more than one person. I really think that any income over $50K per person is ‘enough’ to live in Hawaii. You can make that work on any of the islands.
