    I used to live right on Kalaheo Dr in Kailua back in the 90s. Went back last month to play at the beach…. Wow it has changed. Not an inch of parking anymore near the beach.
    Then moved to Makiki to be closer to work. I rode a motorcycle so I always had parking lol.
    Then lived in Mililani for a short time.
    If I were to live on Oahu today I’d either go all in and live in town for the action or all in and live in the country (north shore/Waialua) to get away from it all lol.

      Thank you for that feedback, yes, we'll find more ways to incorporate maps. It's definitely something we do on each corresponding neighborhood page of our website.

    Nice video and find it interesting even as a local kamaaina living here. Looks like you had some gorgeous weather to film this segment and makes our island so much more appealing. I didn't feel you spent enough time talking about Hawaii Kai which is also my home. I did watch some of your dedicated videos about Hi Kai though so props to that. Keep up the good work and maybe one day I see you at Costco HiKai...or as Auntie might say "I no kea"...

    I would add Kapolei for multi generational families. It is sort of like Orange County in the 1970's. Suburban Vibe, newer construction, all the services, stores and reataurants, best and most library on the island, Costco and government services with variety of medical services.

    I was just watching a 22 minute helicopter fly-over video and it almost looks otherworldly, having grown up knowing it as "the forbidden island" and being private. I never saw any pictures of it until the internet.

      I was actually born and raised in Missouri while my mom is from Hawaii. I experienced hate and bullying when I lived here at 9 years old, mostly because of the way I talked. I had a mid-western/southern drawl that the local kids didn’t understand. It built character in me and helped me to find my way to interact with different people from all walks of life.
