But I had already worked with Hawaiians on several projects, and while I liked them personally, I also figured out that it was a very difficult place for a haole to live and work. So I turned it down and have never regretted it.

So it is a great place to visit, not a great place to live.

From what I've read it's actually become more difficult, or more racist toward haoles, in the last 20 years or so. It's really very sad.

Then I looked up their gun laws.

PASS.

No way I'd ever live there. God Bless Texas.
I was born and raised there. Graduated High School there. Left to go to college in New Mexico, then joined the military.. went back exactly TWICE to visit family.. that's it.

No bleeping way would I try to move back there to live permanently.

Gun laws are just one small part of the reason.
What are the other reasons, if you don't mind my asking? Hawaii is on my short list of places I'd move to for a job... It's not an easy place to get in & out of, though, so I'd like to know as much as possible.
the cost of living is so high it makes CA look cheap.
the drug culture is crazy. I'm not exaggerating when I say that pretty much everyone knows who the has something and where to get it.

I lived there when I was a kid. I'd never live there again, but I'd love to visit now that I'm older.
