Why Honolulu is The Greatest City in The World
According to the Economist Intelligence Unit's Global Livability Index, Honolulu is rated the best city in America for overall quality of life. It also is the only American city to make the top 25 list for the entire planet. I have always said Honolulu is my favorite city on Earth, so is super cool to see a legit analysis validating that to a certain degree.

That “private courtyard” is a fish bowl. Agree with others. The music is annoying. No music needed.
Stop with your colonization and selling places/ land that isn’t yours. Please move back to Europe!
Aloha! Good stuff. I just subscribed. We have been working towards a move for about 4yrs now. Got some real traction this year. I believe we will be in the position in the next 3-5 yrs. I know that sounds crazy but I want to get there already thriving. I do not want to scratch and claw once we are there. I'd rather do that here so we can stack serious capital. I know alot of people would make the move and figure it out... which I probably would have done but with 2 children and potentially a couple more on the horizon, we have to start thinking long term. Leaving an inheritance and a business is priority and I do not want our dream of moving to the island to get in the way of what is most important to our family. So, I like watching these types of videos to keep my finger on the pulse so to speak. That said we just got back from Oahu on a 2 week get away. We really enjoyed ourselves and wished we could stay longer.
Sounds like you've got a great plan. Keep with it and I hope you and your family have an awesome start to the new year. If there’s any topic you want covered just let me know. 🙏🏼🤙🏼
I weep for what my home has become. All of these foreigners and non-natives, whoring out our land to millionaires and billionaires. Hawaii used to be such a humble, natural, down-to-earth, friendly, neighborly place filled with aloha. Now it's completely unrecognizable, handed over by politicians who over decades have sold our land and our people into poverty. Meanwhile, these foreigners are taking over and turning Hawaii into just another hellhole for rich investors. So PILAU.
You're super cool brother. I am now a subscriber and I live in Sky Ala Moana
Thank you so much. Really appreciate the kind words. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
I remember when all that space was coral waste from dredging the channel into Honolulu harbor. Now it’s waste space for rich investors. Yuk.
Mate if your6ft1 she must be 6ft6😊😅😅😅
So nice to see more affordable housing being built . . . affordable for Asian multi-millionaires.
Sears parking lot
@@kylestanford7574 wild to think of it from that perspective. So true. 🤣
Music too loud
his house is by the ocean - what about climate change tho lol
7:08 is that a ankle monitoring system on her right foot? it looks like she just got out of jail on parole with that black strap on her ankle 😂
A guy in front of the elevator really tells the story of Honolulu I wouldn't live in any city in either of the American continents
@@wtfa2910 yes, that guy spoke very well and intelligently. Clearly a smart guy.
Stop coming here. You outsiders keep fucking up our way of life.
You damn haole investers are like pidgeons! You shit over everything until your leg fall off like Kailua, and Waikiki, then look for other places to do the same thing! Know you people are not accepted here in Hawaii 😮
Spending 2 $million to live on Oahu is stupid, you'll realize that as soon as you leave your driveway! 😅
What do you mean? Are you saying it’s not nice on Oahu once you are out driving around?
HUD demographics on Hawaii says 80% of wage earners are low income earning $80k or less a year, 8% are middle income, and 12%are high income earning over $350k a year, the high paying jobs correlates with government employment from contracts and administrative positions, 67% of 850,000 registered voters in Hawaii don't vote! (hi.gov/elections), the communist democrat are winning major elections with less than 30% of registered voters in Hawaii! VOTE! in person on election day only! not by mail! not by ballot drop off boxs! bring your mail in ballot to prove you didn't already vote! VOTE REPUBLICANS! when you support democrat, your supporting communism, corruption, and poverty!⚠️ update 5-1-24, State of Hawaii notice of voter registration says "traditional Election Day polling places will NOT be available"! voting has to be done by mail or ballot drop off boxs! ⚠️ so I called the Ections Office at 808-768-3800 and asked for clarification, you can go to City Hall locations!
over development and high density populations is the communist democrat plan to perpetually increase tax revenues for the government! they don't care about water shortages, traffic, pollution, or high density housing fires! it's a self destroying philosophy that always costs the government more than it collects! and the reason tourism and population is fading away, only the government prospers at citizens expense! communism is complete government control over citizens and society to take your money and freedom away and pay themselves for doing it! democrat are anti American communist by definition, by deeds, and by recorded historical fact! get educated and get rid of the communist democrat government control freaks! and most of our problems will go with them!
No corruption here he made his money writing a book and paid speaking fees. lol
true
Nice 😍
Yea never going to be stuck on an island in the middle of the pacific completely dependent on one or two shipping companies.
Honolulu ia great......if you have a lot of money! 😂 i couldnt imagine trying to live in honolulu on an average salary
I've never seen a realtor that spends more time showing his face eating food and walking around than he does the actual bathrooms , kitchens, and bedrooms LOL 🤦
I went to HPU in the late 90's. The campus was in DT Honolulu. I had a great time fo the most part, but was mugged by a homeless person. Not a good experience. I later got what is called "Island Fever" and decided to go back to the mainland. That said, Hawaii is a beautiful place.
@@gregorypierce7473 oh yes I know all about the hpu fort street mall days, as I went there as well about ten years after you. Where did you get mugged? Sorry to hear that.
Sick video 🎉
just live here for more than 5 years, and you will start to dislike Honolulu . . . #1 if you are just staying here for a week or so. . .
My view of Oahu: Negatives: high cost of living, very limited good paying jobs, crappy schools, traffic, lousy government management, slow moving everything, isolation from rest of world, Positives: flawless climate, great character of the people, geographic beauty, surround by the ocean, in the US (as opposed to being in crappy third world country), low crime (except westside),
Fair points. I still think we have some good public schools, but I don’t really know what they are like on most of the mainland either, so can’t judge too well. 100% on the good character of people. Def my favorite part even over the weather and the waves.
1. Hawaii is one of the most corrupt areas to live. The islands are interconnected and communities are small; so if you try to become successful or refuse to be walked on; your employer will make sure you never have another job in Hawaii because there are only a handful of other companies that actually hire. Yes; they all know each other and yes; they all share information. 2. You need to be rich to live in Hawaii. Beaches and weather do not matter if you are working 60+ hours a week and barely affording to live in a single wall construction apartment with centipedes and roaches crawling outside with many of them getting inside all the time. 3. You will be underpaid here; if you speak up about it and attempt to make more money or job hop; see point 1. 4. The police department and the politics are corrupt as well; even the state prosecution. The politicians have gone to jail for accepting brown bags full of money and the HPD chief and his ex-wife went to jail for corruption. Honolulu Police are corrupt, expect no help unless its a dire situation and god forbid anyone who is hurting you isn't related to someone on the force. 5. Real estate and permitting is a nightmare. If you want to live and work in Hawaii: -Be underpaid -Expect to never move up and get promoted -Expect to be discriminated against -Never speak up -Expect to struggle while all of the corrupt politicians and companies are thriving -Old and rich people who bought their houses for a few dandelions and a used spare tire in 1900 that live in a 2.5M house will control the local economy and laws that get passed. The only way to truly live in Hawaii is to be an island yourself; be rich financially and not rely on an employer in the state. If you cant handle that you are going to eventually hate it. I know myself and a lot of other people do.
@@null1808 I hear you. It’s definitely a nonstop grind if you are not already rich. No question about it. I’m always working. That’s why I was extra impressed with us earning the top spot. It’s super pricey and income is not higher than other states for the most part, yet we still are the best for overall livability per this study. Shows how strong the score must be in some categories. Much appreciated insight. 🙏🏼🤙🏼
I appreciate your comment. Thank you for sharing.
I hear that about the culture. There is a strain of "no make a," don't stand out. You cant tell when you meet someone from the mainland. They haven't developed that go along to get along vibe
@@pikiwiki What people dont realize is; the dont make waves culture is because the people at the top are controlling everything, government, compensation, etc. If nobody says anything; they can continue ripping off the people. There is a reason why the FBI has raided the state prosecutors office, put lawmakers in jail and even the chief of police.
It’s awesome but you need to be ballin hard if you got a family. Private school is a must, hikes are crazy expensive, and groceries are insane.
@@maxmurray2997 we have some good public schools, but yea private is def a luxury if you can afford it. Aside from pricing the competition to get into schools like punahou and Iolani is very taxing. I was talking to a radiologist friend recently, and he told me the punahou application was more difficult than any med school application he ever had to do. And yes, groceries are insane. I got a protein drink after a workout this morning and it was $6.50. And that’s for one of those bottled drinks not even a smoothie. 😔
Honolulu not hanalulu
I know. 🙈. It’s just how I talk. I say Nevada wrong also. 😔. Feels forced when I say it the right way. Will try and work on it bc you are 100% right. 🙏🏼🤙🏼
The govt is corrupt and dysfunctional
just make sure you have tons of money Hawaii, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, all extraordinary places to live.
So true. The median home price in Sydney currently tops Honolulu. It’s 1.65 million dollars
I’ve been enjoying your videos! Aloha from South Carolina. I miss Hawaii, my home. 🤙🏼
That makes me happy to read when starting the day. Thank you so much. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
Love Hawaii but cost of living is high and our resources are limited which is why everything is more expensive here.

Can you please do a video on the Property Management corruption and which one is the best? I hear nothing but negativity regarding Hawaiiana and Touchstone. Makes me want to never own a property since you are at their mercy for HOA increases and creating fake invoices to pilfer the HOA funds.
@@alohastateofmind3565 good topic. HOA increases would come from the board of each condo directly represented by owners in that specific building, and then basically the management company just has their name on the bills. Dealing w the management companies such as touchstone and Hawaiiana can be tough for sure. Some buildings get assigned managers that are easier to get ahold of and more willing to assist than others, but it’s really a dice roll. I’ve had quite a few interesting experiences with both, but I’d say Hawaiiana takes the crown for frustrating moments. Regarding this past year or so, we have been seeing lots of increases in HOA fees due mainly to the increase in necessary insurance premiums due to new lending rules that resulted from the Maui fires. 😔. Tough topic to even talk about, but it’s had a major impact on monthly condo fees. Happy to try and cover all topics though, so anything you are curious about please let me know. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
