This isn't anything new. The rich people buy land in every beautiful part of the world and the locals in those places live in worse and worse conditions until finally they decide to leave their beautiful home to pursue a chance for a better life. Happens in places like Thailand, Hawaii, Greece, South Italy, Maldives and many many more places.
Scotland to omg it’s so annoying, my mums house which she recently managed to buy has increased in value by 150k in two years due to air bnb and second homes
Hard to watch this without crying. Born and raised on Molokai, live on almost every island. Decided Lahaina was going to be my forever home in 2018. The fire took something from me that I can never get back.
hi! so, dolphins are extremely smart animals and show easy signs of stress, depression, etc. when they know that there’s no predators and they have the place to themselves, they do enjoy it. places like those in hawaii do take care of them well, and i know many of them only take rescues.
As a native Hawaiian not in Hawai‘i, the part of the video that said there are more Hawaiians outside of Hawai‘i than in it made me cry. Thanks for making this video, I love that you interviewed multiple perspectives.
Ummm….why? Are you one of those gatekeepers that thinks everything belongs to you? Or you just don’t appreciate things unless they’re in a niche little group, so you can seem quirky? Hawaii is a tiny group of islands, compared to the rest of the world. A tiny group of islands that has managed to grow and expand well beyond their own geographic borders. That’s a bad thing?!?! People aren’t leaving Hawaii. The population of Hawaii is consistently +/- 1-2%…like it always has been. Just in the last 30 years, the population has DOUBLED! There’s more Hawaiians in Hawaii…as well as the rest of the world. And you think that’s a bad thing??? Do you want to force them all to stay and start building houses on stilts and mega skyscrapers all over Hawaii to accommodate a doubled population in 30 more years???? This type of gatekeeping / virtue signaling is weird and doesn’t make sense. Maybe you can make it make sense?
lol…imagine a rare tree species, that has a lot of good herbal qualities. It actually makes you live longer! There’s only a dozen of them, and they’re isolated on an island forest in the middle of the Pacific. One day people start seeing them all over the world. They’re in the deserts and mountains and different forests all over the world. The dozen in the pacific are still there…and actually there’s now 24 where there used to be 12. But there’s also a bunch all over the world. You’d be mad at that??? You’d want that tree to remain isolated and quarantined on its little island in the pacific??? Again…why the gatekeeping??
@@sendthis9480Do you not know about the effects of colonialism my dude? Bigger doesnt always equal better. They are indigenous people who are being financially forced out their homeland. What is not making sense to you?
@@julezthealien2467 Colonialism?!?! Ummm…yeah. Like when the Tahitians sailed to the now-called-Hawaiian Islands, and kicked out all the inhabitants and took the land for themselves? Then…for the next thousand years they even worship a fake god called “Ku”…which literally translates to “snatcher of land”….because he stole all the land that is now called Hawaii. THAT colonialism? Or…just the kind that fits your narrative??
@@julezthealien2467 Bro, everyone is too polite to point out the hypocrisy. That's the way the world was. Noncolonialists were also colonizing. They were the losers. It is only recently that borders are respected, except by China, Russia etc. We cannot go back and make Kamehameha not push people off the Pali to conquer, er, unite, the islands.
This is the same story that is affecting every desirable community in America. Property investors with access to cheap capital have destroyed the American lifestyle ruining communities and forcing families to scatter.
It’s not the same story because our Hawaiian lifestyle and culture are being threatened by all this, and on top of that yes, the nice aspects of American culture that have inevitably rubbed of on us as well. And before you say “the US gave you modern technology”, go look up who had electricity in their Capitol first, the US or the Kingdom of Hawaii. In fact, if you are unfamiliar, learn about the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom, the Republic of Hawaii, and the Territory of Hawaii. Learn about how much the overthrow impacted Native Hawaiians and non-Native Kingdom subjects as well.
The real problem is that Boomers sell for top dollar instead of passing down the property that they inherited to their children. First generation to do this to their own children across the board in history and it’s ruined the futures of younger generations, by making buying a home completely out of reach.
@@JamminWithKapuit's deplorable it's happening in Hawaii, but it does happen to other places where there's no limit on how many properties one person can own, and where there's a great scenery or beach, close to nature, or high in the mountains. There's always an indigenous culture being driven out. Not just America.
Aww don't be mad, the whole world warned you how your American dream is a nightmare. Remember to hate the Commies, while the Capitalist are the property investors ruining communities. Please keep your dreaming in USA.
Dude, this is AWESOME as it reminds me of home here in New Zealand. My wife is Maori whom are apparently descendant of the Hawaiian native ppl when they left the Islands of Hawaiki on Waka ( Big wooden canoes) thousands of years ago to settle here in New Zealand. Listening to that elderly gentleman speaking was like listening to the elders here and they spoke with PASSION, WISDOM & LOVE FOR OUT WHAKAPAPA(family) Lije my daughters and grandchildren learning, getting involved & passing on what it is do be Maori, what the land, rivers, mountains, animals, culture and oceans means to them. It's a part of who they are.
We are not decended from Hawaiians. Not at all. Your ears must gave heard wrong or interpreted what you heard wrong. We descend from Hawaikii. A long last land from which my people voyaged from to get to where we are today Aotearoa. It has nothing to do with Hawaii. Never will you EVER hear a māori person who truly knows there whakapapa say that we descend from Hawaii. That is no slight to our Hawaiian whānau, just correcting your miss-take.
@@heyman4590- Hawaiians and Maori were both from the same place and they set off on voyages around the same time in different directions. Actually Hawaiians are Maoli, the same basic word as Maori. Same people originally.
@@cursedboyir they are disgusting and sh|t is everywhere. they arent real Hawaiians but they pretend they are so they get special treatment as "victims"

@@friedrichhoffmann4248 well, Hawaiians are cry babies that expect special treatment even though almost every country/continent/region in the world has experienced some type of overthrow.
I am Polynesian/White (Hawaiian, Maori, German) from Kahuku on Oahu, a rural farm town. Leaving the island for the U.S. was the best move I made. I stayed as long as I could but left in my mid-20s. The job market is abysmal, the cost of rent sucks, the cost of food is far worse than the mainland, and its an hour drive in any direction just to get propper shopping needs met. People in my village constantly cry and complain about rich "Haoles" (Whites) and "Pa'ke" (Asian) buying up all the land and houses, which is true, but all the crying and moaning about the annexation isn't going to change anything. One of the biggest annoyances to me is the cultural hi-jacking of Hawaiian and all things Polynesian by local Asians who are not Polynesian. There is a big difference between being "local" and being "Native Hawaiian + Born and Raised". The Kamehameha school system is ridden with Asians who have no real blood ties to Hawaii, all of the richest locals are 3rd gen Japanese, Chinese, or mixed Asian from the sugar cane industrial farming days where corporations controlled Hawaii shortly before the annexation. Even within real native Hawaiians, there is no love between the towns. Kahuku only gets along with Laie/Hauula and the Ko'olau region towns and north Oahu is treated as a weekend playground for yuppies and townee locals. The land is cursed. Hawaii's history is laced with treachery and carnage. King Kamehameha employed muskets to dominate and conquer to establish his monarchy and his seed, to include David Kalākaua, who did more to destroy Hawaiian language and tradition more than anyone else, were all in bed with the British crown. Hawaiians have always been divided and contentious amongst each other. Growing up, all I did was tend to the beach land that we stewarded in Kahuku due to ties with cambell estate, we stewarded a good amount of Kahuku beach and worked ceaselessly to remove the rampant polution caused by the Japanese, their plastic trash and sea vessels. Hours, months, and years of cutting industrial fishing net off the ocean reef. What were other Hawaiians doing? Drinking Heineken, working Construction and backyard MMA, and then killing each other in street fights or driving down town to go beat up Marines.
I fully agree. Super complex issues at stake here. There won't be any silver bullets, but hopefully land use reforms can be done in the future to facilitate those like you to return some day. I worked my whole career here and raised my family here too, but right now it's anyone guess if my children's children will be able to remain here. Good luck!
Ah, a fellow ex-inmate of Kahuku High School I see. Yep on the Windward Side an elite job is cleaning hotels rooms at Pat's In Punalu'u. And I think Pat's changed over to being condos now so there's not even that.
I'm in the Marine Corps and my first duty station was Hawaii for 4 years. I really fell in love with the culture. My wife and I met a lot of locals who consider us family and we still talk to them today. Hawaii is a beautiful place, please go there with respect and learn. Mahalo 🤙🏽
Last scene broke me. Tyler talking about cost of land, other rich people, money money money, then cuts to old guy just looking out onto the land. He's preserving it, keeping it pure and untainted, unpolluted. Carrying on a spirit, a soul much older than his. His people live on through him. There's more to life than chasing numbers, more numbers, bigger, more. Inherited will, ideas and dreams that live on through you. Culture, traditions more ancient than the written word. An unseen torch that quietly endures for thousands of years. It's not something easily described. Je ne sais quoi.
@@mlk-8U well, Hawaiians are cry babies that expect special treatment even though almost every country/continent/region in the world has experienced some type of overthrow.
Dear Dude or Dudess, what can we do about it? I have slowly a feeling, that we have to unite and fight in some ways. For example, the corporations have forgotten, that they value nothing, if we (aka consumer power) don't buy their products, etc. This means, we can have a direct impact on some business, by literally not doing anything. This unfortunately doesn't apply that easily to the real estate market, but at least we could try to change the greedy world! What would you do and where would you start?
@@BobWileyAKA52Blue Nope, nein, não, non, nej, нет) In the same way I could write, that if you are writing that comment, please give up and don't respond to people. But now, since you are obviously active on YT: what would you do? I have answers about consumerism, but I have no idea, how to fight corporations in real estate, how to unite the crowd and how to cure greed in people..
@@SlavkaZhuravka You can't fight real estate ownership unless you go out of the U.S. America is a capitalist country where successful entrepreneurship is rewarded with more power and capital. Look at Trump and what he accomplished. Communism could dictate real estate but would anyone want to live in a communist state?
Well this system of the west isn't broken it's working exactly as intended. Classic ruling class exploiting working people. Just with less force and more delusion nowadays. Late stage, capatalist, distopia.
The old lady with the orange hat, and no teeth said she quit her job because she wanted her freedom. But then turn around and expects free handouts, free places to live. Amazing.
The way that village is holistically run and maintained is admirable. So much to be learned from our Indigenous peoples' style of governance and community safety.
Yknow I used to work for a Hawaiian hotel. It was a call center job so I wasn’t actually in Hawaii but the caller didn’t know that. It was a very expensive hotel and people could be very uppity about it. One of the worst parts was when the entire island of Maui was on fire. Our hotel was on a different island so we had a lot of last minute bookings. People who had booked hotels on Maui were now booking at our hotel. But despite the huge loss of life and people’s homes, not a single customer cared about the fires. Instead they mainly complained that our hotel or island wasn’t as good as Maui and how much of a headache it was for them to change their plans. There was NO MENTION of the locals or a shred of sympathy for what they were going through. Keep in mind they’re speaking to someone that could be stationed in Hawaii and have friends and family on Maui. But nope no sympathy. Needless to say I left that job. Tourist should leave Hawaii not the locals.
You sound incredibly gay Might as well get your panties in a twist because you could have been some Indian who was related to that doctor who got graped to death by their colleagues and interns at a hospital lma
That's how cold hearted people had become 😢 .... If they know what's coming soon, 😢and that they themselves could become homeless or worse. Soon the world would be judged according to their deeds 😢
Hawaii needs the tourists since tourism is a really big part of their yearly economy. Also, not everyone watches the news or keeps current with world events, many people complaining about their changes in the reservations may not have even known about the fires.
@@sfoster1186 yeah they need tourists because they stripped the land of everything they needed to be self sufficient-- also grasping for straws to justify people being "naive" about an actual hazard they would've been notiified about while browsing where the'yd go during their "vacation" is a super whiite thing to do no cap
Yeah while it'll NEVER happen I'd love a land back "right of first refusal" deal with native Hawaiians like what some Native American communities have or are working towards.
Compton actually used to be a white upper middle class community, and then they all moved out of the area after black families started moving in back in the 50's. They really moved out after the riot in 65.
You can’t say all Hawaii !! Just like every state in every country there is an area infested with drugs and homeless. It’s true the ultra rich such as Oprah cause prices to rise. Prices rise everywhere ex California
@@mattskustomkreations Yeah those episodes truly shined a whole different light on Hawaii, but that's what we needed to know and see, not just the tourist attractions.
@@justkon1789no one lives in the homes. One guy was looking at a room I had available because he uses his house as a Airbnb. Hawaiian living in QLD Australia 🌏🦘
I lived off grid in Maui with my mom for 4 months. I got to see the dark reality of Maui. The drug epidemic, the homelesness, the anger and resentment. Not to mention my mother was actively using and moving meth, so her company and boyfriends were not the most friendly. Had a lot of scary encounters. The island was absolutely beautiful and the locals can be so so sweet, however I'm glad I eventually came to my senses and went home.
Getting involve with drugs as a family member don’t end well and you made the best move. Sorry to hear about your situation and I hope you can get your mom out too.
I was homeless for 3 years after graduating from college. I put in over 3,000 Job applications. The response rate in my home state was about 7%, the rest of the contiguous United States = 15%, But the Response Rate From Jobs I Applied to In Hawai'i Was 85%. I Even Had a Job Interview Before I Even Left My Home State! So I Flew Out to Hawai'i As a Homeless Man and within 5 months Had a New Car, And In 8 Months I Was Living In Maui Lani In Kahului. The Only Reason That I'm Not Still There Is That I Fell Ill. Yes, There Is Some Bad. But For Me the Good Outweighed the Bad.
@@RobertPlatinum The definition of insanity is repeating the same thing and expecting a different result. Did you spend any time researching how to effectively get a job or build a captivating resume? Did you put in any personal growth to be an asset instead of just looking to collect a check and do bare minimum? Did you go talk to people face to face and ask what they expect from you so you can get hired and learn and keep a job? If you go talk to people and actually take steps to improve yourself and learn, you’ll be amazed at the opportunities that will come. Nobody is responsible for you but you. Stay away from drugs and alcohol they never lead to anything good. I promise. This coming from a former bartender and Nightclub cocktail waitress. Two years sober, not an addict or anything. But its amazing how that alone changed my life and I built two business because I put my time into that instead. about a year ago I asked for God, repeatedly and I was answered and that again changed my life in all the right ways, lifelong atheist, party girl to Christian mom, business owner, happy wife. Your life is what YOU put into it, and what you ask God for guidance from. If you’re not ready to understand God, at least take the steps to get yourself bettered :) God bless!

Exactly! Tate got some real issues with Black people. Girl ur frustrations are NOT with us. Please stop associating blacks with hoods and ghettos. We're not associating Hawaiians with homeless. We're literally in the same boat. We got there bc of what colonists did to Black's in affluent communities. Read a Real f*@king book! She is cringe af!!
Bro I was just about to say the exact same thing… that’s fucking horrible “we need help” but you just said when you quit your job you gained your freedom?? 🥴 go be free
She did follow it up by saying there are people out there who have jobs. Which is true. I live in West Hawai'i and there are choke people who sleep in their car on Ane Keohokalole every night and go to work every morning.
Born and raised in hawaii. The beginning really shows how some hawaiian people are. Please don't let that taint your opinion of locals. You go out and ask any person with hawaiian blood and every single one of them will claim they're descended from royalty. Ain't a single one gonna say they descended from the working class people.
I lived there for first 7 years of my life, my parents said mortgage was 2,300 to live there, on the second biggest island, now an apartment there is 2000 dollars, it’s crazy how exspensive it is now
Because of work, we lived on Oahu for one year, in 1971. We lived in a modest neigborhood. The people were proud to be Hawaiians, even if they only had a quarter of Hawaiian blood, or not at all, in them, They were beautiful people, welcoming, friendly, hard working but easy going. That was before foreign big money started buying property all over Hawaii, no doubt at a premium, making it impossible to refuse. (my guess). I have revisited once, 30 years later. Honolulu had become a concrete slum of high rises. The pali has been cut horizontally to make a road, looking like an open wound. The black sand beach off another island had vanished. And now, I hear that real Hawaiians have to come to the mainland to servive? So sad. I will never go back.
I live in rural Canada and the minimum house price is $1M. The housing crisis reaches far and wide. There is no reasonable explanation other than the government wants to limit home ownership.
Explanation is actually super easy. Greedy people with money that buy and rent/sell houses for so much that normal people can not afford to get into real estate, thus they are protecting their own business by keeping normal people poor because they spend all their money on housing
As an example, Canada brings in half a million people a year (mostly multi generational families who pool finances) in an environment with limited to no housing. These new comers can afford higher real estate prices due to multiple generations living under the same roof vs. standard 2 adult households, this has resulted in astronomical house prices within 2 hours of core city centres. Another issue is large REIT companies and foreign investors buying up properties to rent, further exacerbating the problem.
You know how everyone flocked to california in the 1800s for that gold rush and then in the 70s to become famous and then it all went to shit? Hawaii is experiencing that right now.
that history is a lie. The lazer beam tech on laihaina is proof that these elites have far reaching ability stretching way back to even 1871 chicago fires with photoproof of melted bricks. they are prparing for the phoenix event where in past old world buildings sank with half buried windows worldwide not recorded in recent history. the world is a scam but us slave class are waking up after the zombie sauce event that took so many people.
it’s almost comparable to Florida in that sense too. we’re essentially getting priced out now due to the same things: influx of outsiders moving in, greedy Air BNB hosts who own 5+ properties along the state🥲 etc. out of state residents also don’t appreciate our natural attributes like natives do. similar to the complaints received from Hawaii about littering
I became homeless about two weeks ago when I broke up with my partner. I have a job, I don't use drugs or drink. Rent is too expensive for one. I never thought I would be homeless in Australia.
@@PokrPro21He says he has a job, and internet isn't that expensive. He could also be using a library computer as most of them are free for public use.
Sorry about what you are going through. About 15yrs ago I was homeless for a few months, I know how bad it sucks and how it looks like there is no light at the end of the tunnel but I promise it will get better. The best advice I can give you is to start going after a job that will pay you more than you are making now I know its not easy but its doable, that is your best option. Even if you think you may not be qualified, go after the job anyways. And one more thing, once you get back on your feet, start saving in Bitcoin and do some research and learn about what Bitcoin is. Take care brother.
You would think a person with her history would feel some camaraderie towards another group who are in the same predicament and worst but it just goes to show you how bad anti/b truly is globally. These others don't even show this much animosity towards the real villains.
I was just passing through on military orders a few days ago and was at Pearl Harbor. I was shocked to see the amount of homelessness. The locals were very friendly and receptive, but touched on basically every point here. It’s really sad to see. As a foreigner, it would be a dream to live in such a beautiful place, but not at the native’s expense
@@malachi-out of touch take as the island found relative peace after King Kamehameha united the islands, the turn happened after the involvement of Dole
Its the latest trend & its literally sweeping the nation. No denying rents are out of control but looking at & talking to most they got behind the eight ball w/ drugs & laziness. If they were just homeless they still keep their area & self clean. I did
Please don't stop doing these videos. The honest and upfront journalism and interviews from both sides really helps people understand deeper than what we're told by the mainstream media
As a HAWAIIAN who lives in HAWAII, I do not agree with what that girl had to say about America. Of course us being illegally annexed and having our land stolen is horrible, but any other country with guns could've done the same thing AND treat us much worse than America. Imagine if Imperial Japan decided to conquer us! As much as I wish Hawaii could be independent, we are Americans who enjoy the same rights as Americans who live in the mainland. Foreigners, when you come to visit, visit with respect! Know the history of the land and the people who live there!
I had asked this question just a minute ago. Does anyone think the islands would still be a series of little kingdoms being left alone? Hardly seems possible.
Colonised mind! Ehhh it's bad but it could be worse! Words of the weak. No European country has this going on or your mindset! America as we know today is not America and was also colonised!
I visited Maui and stay in Lahaina twice once in 2010 and again in 2014. Absolutely the most beautiful place ive ever been. The idea of living off the land in Hawaii actually doesnt sound bad its so beautiful and amazing. I hope everyone has the chance to vistit it one day and treat the islands with the respect they deserve.
I heard some people treat Black people weirdly there. Not surprised saying stuff like that. Statements like that feeds into that negative narrative Black people=Hood people/Ignorant or less fortunate. To be almost a character trait for people with ties to the original indigenous people of African and i don't mean only America.
All commoner Hawaiians were slaves to the royal class. All land was owned by the royalty. No commoner could own anything, so this is the reason why most had a hard time dealing with a concept of land ownership. The royal class were ancestors of Tahitians who invaded and enslaved the native Hawaiians in the 17th century. The royals kept themselves in power by imposing a strict set of "kapu" rules. Violation of any rule, no matter how trivial, was death. Violators were sent to a central slaughter house where their meat was harvested and their bones made into things like fishhooks. It was quite an industry where nothing was wasted.
@SideYardCat As had been repeated all around the world, including Hawaii, the tribe that sucked up to Britain colonist first received British weapons in trade. That tribe then went to conquer their neighbors using steel knives and guns. Tribes typically were in constant warfare with each other and were in desperate need of Brits war kit. Most of the violence associated with colonialism is from tribal warfare unbalanced with "modern" weapons. Most of the deaths were from European diseases.
Royals also worked in the fields, trained as warriors and so on, especially Kamehameha. Westernization allowed Hawaiians to own land but since they were poor, white businessmen took over. And the monarchy was very progressive and pro-democracy and education. Also, kapu laws were indeed very strict but you could escape that fate by running to a “church” where you were then seen as forgiven by the gods. Hawaiians were a more civilized tribe, setting up different kingdoms and even uniting an entire island. They had messengers and still contacted other Polynesian nations using the “Lonoikamakahiki” title. To figure out more, you gotta take Hawaiian literature as Hawaiian thinking is not straightforward but rather riddles and hidden meanings.
The last person he interviewed is truly a gem. Uncle Walter on top. The way he spoke, it gave me goosebumps. Although I am far from being Hawaiian, it is sad to see such a culturally rich population having to go through this
As someone who was born and raised in Hawaii, this is an accurate picture of what Hawaii is, kudos to him for interviewing Kanaka Maoli and local people. Much better job than what Nick Johnson did on Hawaii.
i lost my home on maui in the wildfires last year, life couldn’t be worse. i have no friends, no job, i graduated school and i live with my parents, i miss my people and i miss my home. im currently landlocked and going insane because i can’t see the ocean horizon, i really hate the way the world works.
I’m Hawaiian by blood (Hawaiian, Chinese, Filipino), born and raised in Hawaii for the first 11 years of my life, until my mom remarried into military and whisked me and my sisters away to California. We grew up at my Tutus house on Makaha valley rd (the now dilapidated green house next to the jehovah church) and went to school at Kamaile elementary. The last time I visited home my heart was immediately broken. The beautiful views I once could enjoy from the highway was obstructed by high rises, beaches I once frequented were now inaccessible because it belonged to some rich mainlander. My dad lives in Kapolei and is struggling to make ends meet. His neighbor recently decided to sell his home and it went for almost 2 million dollars! My dad is definitely tempted to say the least, but Oahu is his home and he’s a stubborn Hawaiian. Luckily my grandparents and my dad have their own companies and have land that was passed down from our ancestors, otherwise I don’t think they would have survived this long out there.
And you prefer thebrothers like most Polynesian women do...how you gonna pretend to be about your culture, but hug and flirt with the brothers at work? Then y'all act surprised when stories like Laau Jordan Laulusa pay the toll for choosing to be friendluy with the brothers haha, no wonder they took over the HI islands
"If you don't have germen blood, you're not german" = racist.. "If you don't have hawaiian blood, you're not hawaiian" = so brave, so proud, so culture!! :D
In 2017 I was in Oahu visiting from Australia. I met a local Hawaiian at the beach that explained to me that the 99 year lease for $100 was a way to offer incentive to all bloodline Hawaiians to move to a remote part of the Island and be out of the way. It was sold to the locals as Gov help with an agenda to remove all locals out of the tourist locations. This kind of thing has happened to all indigenous people across the world including Australia.
Of course, it has been done already 😳 wake up folks AMERICA THE GREATEST RACIST NAZISM CAPITALIST COUNTRY EVER KNOWN WILL CONTINUE TO DO THIS TILL ALL THE RICH WHITE AMERICANS AND OPRAH THOSE RICH FOLKS, WILL ALWAYS TAKE TAKE TAKE FROM THE NATIVES WILL ALWAYS BE A THIEF THAT IS AMERICA GREATEST RACIST NAZISM CAPITALIST COUNTRY EVER KNOWN!!!!! AMERICA RACIST NAZISM PIECE OF SHIT COUNTRY 😅😅😂
@@blackmarketarmy That came from a local Hawaiian. Also if you are in the know, can you tell me how many of those 99 year leases are in the tourist locations ?
@@mrjohntheo154 If the land they were given were tourist locations wouldn't that defeat the entire purpose of giving the land? And how could they remain as tourist locations if foreigners aren't allowed to live there?
I love the organization in the native camp. The thoughtfulness. The elder uncle at the end is such a wise man. My grandparents lived in Hawaii…….. my dad was made in Hawaii. My first love was an island boy.
Totally uneducated comment. I’m half Black and have owned farmland and my family lives by the beach in Cali… we did grow up in Inglewood and Compton though. I get her point but the delivery was kinda off. Black people can relate to Hawaiians by way of trauma almost more than anybody. Oh and as an O- blood donor I’ve saved plenty of Hawaiian lives and contribute to local causes. Who would wanna be anything other than what they were born as??
Yep, $1300 isnt that crazy, especially considering it's Hawaii. I love in a tiny town in Oregon and have a friend that pays $900/mo for a studio that has a bathroom but no kitchen.
My boyfriend and I are traveling to Hawaii next month for vacation, and I am SO GLAD that I watched this before coming! We're aboriginal, and I can definitely relate with these Hawaiian people. 😢
My great aunt was Hawaiian and grew up on Oahu. She said she never went to school and spent all day on the beach. When I visited her she owned a house on the north beach, a humble, homey house, I loved it. She was married to my great Uncle, 30 years her senior, a Norwegian. They were married for years, until he passed away. After that she moved to Washington state to live with her adopted son. It must have been wonderful growing up in Hawaii on the beach.
Lotta dolphins are born in captivity (which, yeah, also kinda wrong), or are injured and wouldn't survive elsewhere. Idk if that's the case for those dolphins, but generally I agree. Very "Free Willy" vibes

Something I watch people going through abandoned homes here on UA-cam, I’m shocked at the amount of abandoned mansions there are in this country!!! absolutely absurd!
Yup, even crazier how much land they buy every time a “disaster” happens too…..I’m sure all that money the rock and opera made is gonna build a really cool pool….
Hawaii is going to crumble. If it’s going to end up with just rich mainlanders taking up residence there, then who’ll be left to work the lower end jobs which the local economy is built on?
Over on the reddit hawaii forums a guy from singapore couldn't understand why hawaii couldn't become another singapore. He was truly baffled why hawaii hasn't gone anywhere economically. He should have watch this
Hawaii is not it's own country that can do whatever. There's only so many things that states can do by themselves. It absolutely could become something like Singapore but that would require some very radical changes and the population will protest it and may get shaken up.
It's quite amazing the entirely different attitude they have in the village where they're more community focus and try to help each other while the sister in the big house is more focus on division and prejudices.
I didn't see prejudices in her words but I get her point. She just doesn't like invaders coming to her island and increase house and land prices. If you are from US mainland would you welcome immigrants into your state and increasing prices due to non-stop immigrants?! Soon or later you would be unhappy too. It is easy to judge locals when you are (meaning guest) the one destroying locals way of life.
My thoughts exactly. Under the current administration things have just gone downhill. Homelessness is normal. I saw a person doing crazy stuff and looking on the brink of death the other day. I went to call the cops and then saw a cop standing right next to them doing nothing. Tweaking out on drugs is normal now and cops can’t do anything in major cities. All major cities are turning into Gotham I swear
As a person who has visited Hawaii four weeks out of the year for about 6 years now, and is currently about a mile from Lahaina, homelessness has risen exponentially over the last 2 years and it is a major problem. I got a big mac combo last night and it cost me $28. The prices are unlivable and it needs to change
There needs to be boycotting or something cause this is systemic and I know it has to do with Hawaii being a "US terrority", and intergenerational wealth due to centuries of colonization, enslavement, discrimination, white privilege, etc. This is so inferiorating and disgusting.... But what can be done?!
Cuz Im a Native Hawaiian. I love our Hawaiian by heart is what we say. They have been shown they way of my people and its a part of them. To all Hawaiian all over the world. We miss you and hope to see you soon but until then. Aloha Hawaii cheee!! Cuz....
yep, and it's intentional. The ruling-elite want everyone off those islands so they can build their isolated enclaves, safe from the madness they will unleash on the rest of the people.
@@Tajagee123 nope i dont think they spelled anything wrong, this greed has nothing to do with democrats or republicans. It has to deal with both of them together in the same exact image as well as many other non-political umbrella holders. Who arguably have more power than the "political" figures we have.
As a Hawaii local I can say that majority of people arent racist/disrespectful to white people (that didn't do nothing bad) like the guy in the red. Most are also okay with tourists but if you do come, don't act like you own the place, leave it better than you found it. If you become a neusence and disrespect the land and people that's when you become a problem.
I lived here and i had to leave before I even graduated because it was getting so bad; I was literally getting bullied for my race. I got beat up Sopohmore year by a person I didn't even know. i never even talked to him or talked about him at all. he told me "we don't like you here" or "Im a privileged b*tch" while 99% of people at my school dressed way nicer than me and had way more expensive clothes then me. while I was wearing shorts from Walmart. and by the way its nuisance*. Racism isn't ok no matter who you are
they absolutely are. i live in a tourist town myself so i know how to appropriately act & conduct myself when i visit other places. me and my family experienced first hand racism multiple times. while there’s plenty of awesome & welcoming locals, there’s just as many racist ones
Agree to disagree with this spent three years stationed there half the time even if I showed respect and interest in learning culture still got called a howlie and told to go home but the ones who did show me the same respect and teach me were very kind 75% of the islands income is tourist and military personnel
90% of people who say they're Hawaiian are actually born in Hawaii, but that does not make them Hawaiian by race. There are very few very, very few actual hawaiians. In fact, they have a woman that is the most native Hawaiian, and she was only 60% and she just recently died. So I think it's really strange like my husband is my pretty easy. My children are Micronesian. I am not Micronesian. I'm a Caucasian just because we happen to live somewhere. Does not make us that race. That's silly, that's like saying. In that a white person like Elon Musk, who is from South Africa?Yes, he's South African burst because that was his birthplace.But that does not make him black just because he is from south africa
It's pretty eye opening that basic 2-3 bedroom houses here in Oregon are now priced at +/- $600,000 easily.. Whether it's Hawaii, or Oregon, it makes NO Sense how things can continue to "Function" like this.. What is their goal from here? We always hear about inflation, oh prices HAVE to increase because inflation But in reality, How do they think any of this can continue to exist in this highly disconnected, out of touch, Dysfunctional manner..? We are operating in a way that cannot last. Our system operating how it is can only end up tearing itself apart. It's not a system built to efficiently effectively function. It's frustrating as all hell
That is exaclty their goal. The ones doing it know it isn't sustainable. Same reason why migration numbers are exploding. Even if everyone coming into the country were brain surgeons and engineers able to afford to buy homes, and not need tax payer funded resources to survive. Simple supply and demand would drive home prices up.
It's a parasite that eats away at itself. At the rate things are going, it's going to cost $6000. base to rent a one-bedroom apartment, $12,000. for a two bedroom... Some studio condos are already selling for $700,000. and up. To be upper-middle-class now, one has to be a millionaire. Interestingly enough the ancient scrolls said this would happen in our time.
A friendly reminder that though people may be able to afford 1300 for a studio, no one would let you sign a lease unless you had an income of 3900 a month. This means you need a 46,800 sallery to get the lowest level of accomodations but if your making under 46,799 or lower welcome to being homeless.
I USED TO WONDER WHAT I GOTTA DO TO BE HAWAIIAN. I KNOW NOW, WHEN I GET UP IN THE MORNING, I AM HAWAIIAN, WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES AND GO TO SLEEP, I AM HAWAIIAN. ALOHA KE AKUA. GOD IS LOVE
15:20”If you live in the hood do you call yourself black?” Tyler: “No”. She goes on to referencing black people living in Compton. This woman is so ignorant but wants people to respect her culture. I’m black and never lived in “the hood”. If you want to be respected, be respectful. Hawaii has always been special to me . I got married on Maui. My aunt lived there many years and embraced the culture . This woman’s ignorance was really upsetting to me.
Airbnb is a problem for sure, suddenly my neighbourhood is full of airbnb. A drunk guy staying in an airbnb thought he was staying in our place, started banging to open the door.
If you go to Hawaii you're in for a big shock. The locals are really doing it tough, but they are such strong people! Even in tough times Hawaiians will still greet you with plenty of smiles.
It’s because rich white people that live on the other side of the earth are buying and stealing the land from the Hawaiians and using up all the natural resources like water it’s messed up when you dig deeper
I drove Uber for roughly 4 months full-time in Vegas and I had countless people from Hawaii talk about how they moved from Hawaii because they just could barely even live, within the past couple years due to literally everything. Tough
It was that way in the 90s too, they always loved Vegas, but houses were way cheaper then in Maui. I don;t buy the new story people claim. All these new victims the last years or so. Filipinos were buying up houses in Lahaina in the 90s, the Hawaiians were unemployed smoking ice all day, drinking kool-aid and getting diabetes.
My question would be if the US left and gave up protection as well would other countries come in for their own interests and would the Hawaiians fight back to defend their homes. Or would Russia or China welcome them with open arms until 100 years later we see the colonization come full circle?
I am a native Georgian and I live in the Appalachian Mountains. Same thing has happened here. Blackrock and short term rentals have bought up everything and tripled the prices in three years. We are located in a national forest but there is a massive building happening. No one local can afford housing.
They are doing this to push ppl into cities so we are like rats in a cage. Can’t grow our own food and rely on the government and elites for all our resources. This is why blackrock is buying all the land up. Our politicians need to start making laws about this. Trump 2024
100%. Hoping my husband and I can get a house here in NW GA before the major corps get here and take all the land. Truly devastating as someone who’s lived on the TN/GA border my whole life.
Took my family on vacation to Maui a couple months ago. I totally forgot about the fires when I booked, I booked through Costco as the package was several thousand cheaper than the other islands. All things aside we had an AMAZING TIME. All the locals we met loved us, but I will say we were super respectful and asked a lot of questions and listened to their plight. On one side of the main road was beautiful beaches and perfectly maintained properties and golf courses, right on the other side of the street was completely decimated neighborhoods it was surreal to see. I own small businesses so I talked with several business owners and made sure to book everything I did through them and we talked about business in Maui. Even the locals are looking to move away, they just don't know how to do it and financially survive. But literally entire local neighborhoods where the majority of the locals were living were completely gone, like 10 blocks of houses gone and 30 feet away was a perfect golf course green as can be. I see why they have a hatred towards mainlanders. Wish I could post my pics here.
Sounds like all tourist areas are having same issues Hawaii is just harder to leave because it is an island And if the government wants your land they will get it one way or another
yea, I am part Hawaiian. Because I took after my dad's white skin, I was harrassed all my life. But I was raised by my Hawaiian 'Ohana, I know the history, most of the language, I can understand the local pidgin, and I was raised within the culture since my grandmother speaks Hawaiian and she was even a kumu hula. But the locals see my white skin, blue eyes, blonde hair and some hate me, like I had a choice on my skin color lol. Anyway, the monarchy in the 1800s, was all for colonization and global economic growth and the result of this is the overthrow in 1893, and now the large diversity in the islands. I love Hawaii, it is my ancestreal home. But I will move away in 2025. I miss the Hawaii from the old days, the 70s and 80s.
@@kapioleilanionalanielua too many hypocrites in Hawaii. Americans treat Hawaiian on the mainland better and that say a lot. Kanakas are xenophobes clinging to a useless monarchy.
It's unfortunate to hear "Don't come to Hawaii.." because they NEED tourists in order to have their businesses survive and prosper. Hawaii REVOLVES around tourism, but it's so unfortunate that the natives are having to move to the mainland because they're being basically kicked out of their home/paradise because of the INSANE price to live there!
Florida was once a peace and quiet land and look what happened, Hawaii has the same problem, millionaires, billionaires, yachts and private jets, spoiled brat teens and pollution everywhere
Same thing with Colorado. People think they're natives after 5 years because everyone else has been here for 1. Real natives know their stink and know they're not one of us.
My wife came with her family from the Philippines to Hawaii in 1971. We met in 1973 and have been together for 51 years. We got married in Vegas and went to see Donna Summer at the MGM. We also saw Tony Orlando and Dawn, I took a picture of my wife with Tony. She was crying. Over the years we have been to Minnesota. My wife shopped at the Mall of America for 3 days. Indianapolis motor speedway during the 100 year celebration where I kissed the brick. Louisiana, Mardi gras, where we ate alligator, jambalaya,, beignet, pecan pie and chocolate taffy crisp. We also listened to music on the river boat, "rolling down the river". I even saw taro plants growing along the Mississippi River. We went to LA, the Staples Arena to see the Clippers one night and the Kings the next night. Eight hour transition from basketball court to ice hockey. Amazing!!! We went to Seattle, Pikes Market and caught the salmon. Went to Tulalip on a boat with the Native Indians. Went up the Skagit River fishing for salmon. Went fishing in Idaho, Coeur dʻAlene, so cold I couldnʻt handle. Went to Kenai River in Alaska and caught and brought back to Maui 200 lbs. of fillet salmon. We saw Diana Ross and the Lettermen in Vegas. Just to name a few. We also met and Amish family in Missouri that took us into their home for dinner. We never met them before but they were a blessing. The men and boys all dressed with leviʻs, white t-shirt and suspenders. The women and girls wore long dresses and bonnets. Kerosene lanterns and stove, out house toilet. All the vegetables were awesome and the lady of the house made the biggest loaf of bread I have ever saw! You get the picture? ALOHA is a feeling from YOUR HEART! YOUR HEART! YOUR HEART! Whenever I traveled I always brought lots of picturesque calendars, boxes of chocolate covered macadamia nuts, and homemade leis, to share with people we meet. Acts 20:35 It is more blessed to give than to receive. Did all of these and many more things cause me to want to live there? I thought about it. Land was cheap, food was cheap, gas was cheap, but, Maui no ka oi Maui is the best. I cannot blame people for wanting to live here. The same goes for many Hawaiians that are curious to see whatʻs up there. It would be nice if everything would balance itself. ONE FOR ONE. The problem with us is that we are limited. We live on a tiny island. You can drive around our island in one day. We have borders. The Pacific Ocean. Aloha Ke Akua
I am one of seven siblings born and raised in Waianae, one mile from that homeless camp. Back in the 70's at the age of 22 my whole family moved to Oregon we all eventually moved on, but it was the best decision we made. Oregon is a beautiful state and a great place to live. I often go back to Waianae to see friends and family but I would never live there again.
Well, if you see the videos online from reputable sources the Irish are protesting against the influx of foreigners who refuse to integrate and respect the Irish culture. The cost of living has increased and there is a housing affordability problem amongst the Irish
But only since white people appeared on the islands and taught them hate, before that they were all inclusive and welcoming and never had a single tribal war. Not.

You got that right.. In my very humble opinion, it's about time to decolonize the Colonized lands, such as North & South America and Australia & New Zealand, and return to rightful owners Native American people and Native Asia-Pacific people. Notorious global cardinal crimes the 'Christian' West has committed, and benefited a great deal, such as Slavery & Colonialism had long been over, why on earth is notorious Colonization still lingering on, may I ask?

@@bohica519 Hawaii is closer to Florida than it is California geography. it makes sense since both places are on the equator so thier gonna have very similar weather.
Born and raised on O'ahu. I'm Hawaiian, Filipino, Chinese, and white. Because my ethnicities were so mixed I never closely identified with any of them. I never related to Hawaiian pride or pride of any race. I got accepted to Kamehameha Schools but decided not to attend. Why do I get privilege for something I didn't even do? To me it's not relevant. No one chooses where they are born, or who their parents are, so what's there to be proud of? Hawaii will always feel like home. I feel a deep connections to the ocean, the mountains, the land, the rivers, the rains. I cry when I hear chanting and prayers in the Hawaiian language. But this doesn't make me special, everyone has connections to where they were born, the early childhood impressions, the local customs. When I talk to Hawaii locals, many times they feel like they are special, like a different type of human separate from other humans on the globe. I've even heard people think that terms like "windward/leeward side", the word "local", or not wearing shoes in the house is a uniquely Hawaii thing. Or that "Aloha" is a uniquely Hawaii trait. I've felt Aloha in the rural Midwest, in NYC, Russia and many other places. Sure it takes bravery to try and revolt against the dominant institution to try to make things better for your people. But don't try to put the monarchy of Hawaii up on some pedestal. They were just as human as the rest of us, and they were actively trying to partner with powerful countries to gain more power and influence for themselves. They weren't trying to restore ahupua'a. They were dressing like Brits, acquiring military weapons and teaching everyone the Bible. Kamehameha School is a Christian school! How do you qualify a religion in a Hawaiian school that basically says that all the previous Hawaiians are in eternal hell for not knowing about or accepting Jesus, or for worshiping "idols" or being polytheistic, etc.
What a great mindset you have. That is awesome. Some might disagree, but having, being born into privileges based on a construct is the hallmark of many countries. And unfortunate it has been in operation for so long that change is inviable regardless of how many civil rights movement, or amendments are made to the land of the law.
Exactly, I grew up in Oregon on the ocean and river, it's a very tourist town. It's also been priced out by the same things as the Hawaiians are experiencing. Land is scarce and the price has more than doubled for homes. So I was born white, and poor, I don't get any special treatment. I've also had to move away for better work opportunities
You know as a local and a fan I've never been so happy to see tylers representation. The world always sees Hawaii's tourist side but never our local side. We are always getting watered down by the stereotypes and the tourism ads always hide all the struggles we go through. This really touch me tbh ♥️

hi! so, dolphins are extremely smart animals and show easy signs of stress, depression, etc. when they know that there’s no predators and they have the place to themselves, they do enjoy it. places like those in hawaii do take care of them well, and i know many of them only take rescues.
@@madisondrennon4153what makes u say all of that with confidence?

As a native Hawaiian not in Hawai‘i, the part of the video that said there are more Hawaiians outside of Hawai‘i than in it made me cry. Thanks for making this video, I love that you interviewed multiple perspectives.
Ummm….why?
Are you one of those gatekeepers that thinks everything belongs to you?
Or you just don’t appreciate things unless they’re in a niche little group, so you can seem quirky?
Hawaii is a tiny group of islands, compared to the rest of the world. A tiny group of islands that has managed to grow and expand well beyond their own geographic borders.
That’s a bad thing?!?!
People aren’t leaving Hawaii. The population of Hawaii is consistently +/- 1-2%…like it always has been.
Just in the last 30 years, the population has DOUBLED!
There’s more Hawaiians in Hawaii…as well as the rest of the world.
And you think that’s a bad thing???
Do you want to force them all to stay and start building houses on stilts and mega skyscrapers all over Hawaii to accommodate a doubled population in 30 more years????
This type of gatekeeping / virtue signaling is weird and doesn’t make sense.
Maybe you can make it make sense?
lol…imagine a rare tree species, that has a lot of good herbal qualities. It actually makes you live longer!
There’s only a dozen of them, and they’re isolated on an island forest in the middle of the Pacific.
One day people start seeing them all over the world. They’re in the deserts and mountains and different forests all over the world.
The dozen in the pacific are still there…and actually there’s now 24 where there used to be 12.
But there’s also a bunch all over the world.

This is the same story that is affecting every desirable community in America. Property investors with access to cheap capital have destroyed the American lifestyle ruining communities and forcing families to scatter.
It’s not the same story because our Hawaiian lifestyle and culture are being threatened by all this, and on top of that yes, the nice aspects of American culture that have inevitably rubbed of on us as well. And before you say “the US gave you modern technology”, go look up who had electricity in their Capitol first, the US or the Kingdom of Hawaii. In fact, if you are unfamiliar, learn about the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom, the Republic of Hawaii, and the Territory of Hawaii. Learn about how much the overthrow impacted Native Hawaiians and non-Native Kingdom subjects as well.
The real problem is that Boomers sell for top dollar instead of passing down the property that they inherited to their children. First generation to do this to their own children across the board in history and it’s ruined the futures of younger generations, by making buying a home completely out of reach.

We are not decended from Hawaiians. Not at all. Your ears must gave heard wrong or interpreted what you heard wrong.
We descend from Hawaikii. A long last land from which my people voyaged from to get to where we are today Aotearoa. It has nothing to do with Hawaii.

I am Polynesian/White (Hawaiian, Maori, German) from Kahuku on Oahu, a rural farm town. Leaving the island for the U.S. was the best move I made. I stayed as long as I could but left in my mid-20s.
The job market is abysmal, the cost of rent sucks, the cost of food is far worse than the mainland, and its an hour drive in any direction just to get propper shopping needs met.
People in my village constantly cry and complain about rich "Haoles" (Whites) and "Pa'ke" (Asian) buying up all the land and houses, which is true, but all the crying and moaning about the annexation isn't going to change anything.
One of the biggest annoyances to me is the cultural hi-jacking of Hawaiian and all things Polynesian by local Asians who are not Polynesian. There is a big difference between being "local" and being "Native Hawaiian + Born and Raised".
The Kamehameha school system is ridden with Asians who have no real blood ties to Hawaii, all of the richest locals are 3rd gen Japanese, Chinese, or mixed Asian from the sugar cane industrial farming days where corporations controlled Hawaii shortly before the annexation.
Even within real native Hawaiians, there is no love between the towns. Kahuku only gets along with Laie/Hauula and the Ko'olau region towns and north Oahu is treated as a weekend playground for yuppies and townee locals.
The land is cursed. Hawaii's history is laced with treachery and carnage. King Kamehameha employed muskets to dominate and conquer to establish his monarchy and his seed, to include David Kalākaua, who did more to destroy Hawaiian language and tradition more than anyone else, were all in bed with the British crown. Hawaiians have always been divided and contentious amongst each other.
Growing up, all I did was tend to the beach land that we stewarded in Kahuku due to ties with cambell estate, we stewarded a good amount of Kahuku beach and worked ceaselessly to remove the rampant polution caused by the Japanese, their plastic trash and sea vessels. Hours, months, and years of cutting industrial fishing net off the ocean reef. What were other Hawaiians doing? Drinking Heineken, working Construction and backyard MMA, and then killing each other in street fights or driving down town to go beat up Marines.

I fully agree. Super complex issues at stake here. There won't be any silver bullets, but hopefully land use reforms can be done in the future to facilitate those like you to return some day. I worked my whole career here and raised my family here too, but right now it's anyone guess if my children's children will be able to remain here. Good luck!
Ah, a fellow ex-inmate of Kahuku High School I see. Yep on the Windward Side an elite job is cleaning hotels rooms at Pat's In Punalu'u. And I think Pat's changed over to being condos now so there's not even that.

There's more to life than chasing numbers, more numbers, bigger, more. Inherited will, ideas and dreams that live on through you. Culture, traditions more ancient than the written word. An unseen torch that quietly endures for thousands of years. It's not something easily described. Je ne sais quoi.

Dear Dude or Dudess,
what can we do about it?
I have slowly a feeling, that we have to unite and fight in some ways.
For example, the corporations have forgotten, that they value nothing, if we (aka consumer power) don't buy their products, etc. This means, we can have a direct impact on some business, by literally not doing anything. This unfortunately doesn't apply that easily to the real estate market, but at least we could try to change the greedy world!
What would you do and where would you start?

But now, since you are obviously active on YT: what would you do? I have answers about consumerism, but I have no idea, how to fight corporations in real estate, how to unite the crowd and how to cure greed in people..
@@SlavkaZhuravka You can't fight real estate ownership unless you go out of the U.S. America is a capitalist country where successful entrepreneurship is rewarded with more power and capital. Look at Trump and what he accomplished. Communism could dictate real estate but would anyone want to live in a communist state?

I agree with you. It’s just awful that the locals are being slowly driven from their own birthplace because of greedy people.

Yknow I used to work for a Hawaiian hotel. It was a call center job so I wasn’t actually in Hawaii but the caller didn’t know that. It was a very expensive hotel and people could be very uppity about it. One of the worst parts was when the entire island of Maui was on fire. Our hotel was on a different island so we had a lot of last minute bookings. People who had booked hotels on Maui were now booking at our hotel. But despite the huge loss of life and people’s homes, not a single customer cared about the fires. Instead they mainly complained that our hotel or island wasn’t as good as Maui and how much of a headache it was for them to change their plans. There was NO MENTION of the locals or a shred of sympathy for what they were going through. Keep in mind they’re speaking to someone that could be stationed in Hawaii and have friends and family on Maui. But nope no sympathy. Needless to say I left that job. Tourist should leave Hawaii not the locals.

Hawaii needs the tourists since tourism is a really big part of their yearly economy. Also, not everyone watches the news or keeps current with world events, many people complaining about their changes in the reservations may not have even known about the fires.

I lived off grid in Maui with my mom for 4 months. I got to see the dark reality of Maui. The drug epidemic, the homelesness, the anger and resentment. Not to mention my mother was actively using and moving meth, so her company and boyfriends were not the most friendly. Had a lot of scary encounters. The island was absolutely beautiful and the locals can be so so sweet, however I'm glad I eventually came to my senses and went home.
Getting involve with drugs as a family member don’t end well and you made the best move. Sorry to hear about your situation and I hope you can get your mom out too.
I was homeless for 3 years after graduating from college. I put in over 3,000 Job applications. The response rate in my home state was about 7%, the rest of the contiguous United States = 15%, But the Response Rate From Jobs I Applied to In Hawai'i Was 85%. I Even Had a Job Interview Before I Even Left My Home State! So I Flew Out to Hawai'i As a Homeless Man and within 5 months Had a New Car, And In 8 Months I Was Living In Maui Lani In Kahului. The Only Reason That I'm Not Still There Is That I Fell Ill. Yes, There Is Some Bad. But For Me the Good Outweighed the Bad.
@@RobertPlatinum The definition of insanity is repeating the same thing and expecting a different result. Did you spend any time researching how to effectively get a job or build a captivating resume?

Did you go talk to people face to face and ask what they expect from you so you can get hired and learn and keep a job? If you go talk to people and actually take steps to improve yourself and learn, you’ll be amazed at the opportunities that will come. Nobody is responsible for you but you. Stay away from drugs and alcohol they never lead to anything good. I promise. This coming from a former bartender and Nightclub cocktail waitress. Two years sober, not an addict or anything.

You see, she isnt Hawaiian😂
And these people make more noise compared to hard working service providers who need affordable housing
She did follow it up by saying there are people out there who have jobs. Which is true. I live in West Hawai'i and there are choke people who sleep in their car on Ane Keohokalole every night and go to work every morning.
Tweaked are the worst man. They don’t respect the land and they’re entitled crack heads. California has a similar issue.

I think she wants to be free of the rat race, but it's hard when society only values consumption and money.
Born and raised in hawaii. The beginning really shows how some hawaiian people are. Please don't let that taint your opinion of locals. You go out and ask any person with hawaiian blood and every single one of them will claim they're descended from royalty. Ain't a single one gonna say they descended from the working class people.
Hhahhhahaha truth man hahahhahaha
So basically like in the mainland with certain people 😂
I lived there for first 7 years of my life, my parents said mortgage was 2,300 to live there, on the second biggest island, now an apartment there is 2000 dollars, it’s crazy how exspensive it is now
Every single person? You’re a 🤡.
Because of work, we lived on Oahu for one year, in 1971. We lived in a modest neigborhood. The people were proud to be Hawaiians, even if they only had a quarter of Hawaiian blood, or not at all, in them, They were beautiful people, welcoming, friendly, hard working but easy going. That was before foreign big money started buying property all over Hawaii, no doubt at a premium, making it impossible to refuse. (my guess). I have revisited once, 30 years later. Honolulu had become a concrete slum of high rises. The pali has been cut horizontally to make a road, looking like an open wound. The black sand beach off another island had vanished. And now, I hear that real Hawaiians have to come to the mainland to servive? So sad. I will never go back.

I live in rural Canada and the minimum house price is $1M. The housing crisis reaches far and wide. There is no reasonable explanation other than the government wants to limit home ownership.
Explanation is actually super easy. Greedy people with money that buy and rent/sell houses for so much that normal people can not afford to get into real estate, thus they are protecting their own business by keeping normal people poor because they spend all their money on housing
JUSTINFLATION
you think the government sets housing prices? damn that's nonsensical. home ownership is the reason for those prices
@@gotistgro9167 no but they control the levers that dictate housing prices such as interest rates, immigration and other inflationary pressures.
As an example, Canada brings in half a million people a year (mostly multi generational families who pool finances) in an environment with limited to no housing. These new comers can afford higher real estate prices due to multiple generations living under the same roof vs. standard 2 adult households, this has resulted in astronomical house prices within 2 hours of core city centres. Another issue is large REIT companies and foreign investors buying up properties to rent, further exacerbating the problem.
You know how everyone flocked to california in the 1800s for that gold rush and then in the 70s to become famous and then it all went to shit? Hawaii is experiencing that right now.
Demographics is my peoples strength in California. Too bad native Hawaiians are too dumb to figure that one out.
that history is a lie. The lazer beam tech on laihaina is proof that these elites have far reaching ability stretching way back to even 1871 chicago fires with photoproof of melted bricks. they are prparing for the phoenix event where in past old world buildings sank with half buried windows worldwide not recorded in recent history. the world is a scam but us slave class are waking up after the zombie sauce event that took so many people.
Liberalism invariably leads to that. There's no need to get into a detailed heated discussion with liberals. The proof is obvious.
it’s almost comparable to Florida in that sense too. we’re essentially getting priced out now due to the same things: influx of outsiders moving in, greedy Air BNB hosts who own 5+ properties along the state🥲 etc. out of state residents also don’t appreciate our natural attributes like natives do. similar to the complaints received from Hawaii about littering
I have a simple question;
Which type of political system, conservative or Liberal, has for the majority of time, ruled over California and Hawaii?
I became homeless about two weeks ago when I broke up with my partner.

Sorry about what you are going through. About 15yrs ago I was homeless for a few months, I know how bad it sucks and how it looks like there is no light at the end of the tunnel but I promise it will get better. The best advice I can give you is to start going after a job that will pay you more than you are making now I know its not easy but its doable, that is your best option. Even if you think you may not be qualified, go after the job anyways. And one more thing, once you get back on your feet, start saving in Bitcoin and do some research and learn about what Bitcoin is. Take care brother.

As a HAWAIIAN who lives in HAWAII, I do not agree with what that girl had to say about America. Of course us being illegally annexed and having our land stolen is horrible, but any other country with guns could've done the same thing AND treat us much worse than America. Imagine if Imperial Japan decided to conquer us! As much as I wish Hawaii could be independent, we are Americans who enjoy the same rights as Americans who live in the mainland. Foreigners, when you come to visit, visit with respect! Know the history of the land and the people who live there!

Statements like that feeds into that negative narrative Black people=Hood people/Ignorant or less fortunate. To be almost a character trait for people with ties to the original indigenous people of African and i don't mean only America.
All commoner Hawaiians were slaves to the royal class. All land was owned by the royalty. No commoner could own anything, so this is the reason why most had a hard time dealing with a concept of land ownership. The royal class were ancestors of Tahitians who invaded and enslaved the native Hawaiians in the 17th century. The royals kept themselves in power by imposing a strict set of "kapu" rules. Violation of any rule, no matter how trivial, was death. Violators were sent to a central slaughter house where their meat was harvested and their bones made into things like fishhooks. It was quite an industry where nothing was wasted.
@SideYardCat As had been repeated all around the world, including Hawaii, the tribe that sucked up to Britain colonist first received British weapons in trade. That tribe then went to conquer their neighbors using steel knives and guns. Tribes typically were in constant warfare with each other and were in desperate need of Brits war kit. Most of the violence associated with colonialism is from tribal warfare unbalanced with "modern" weapons. Most of the deaths were from European diseases.
Thank you. People choose what point of history makes them the victim.
Royals also worked in the fields, trained as warriors and so on, especially Kamehameha. Westernization allowed Hawaiians to own land but since they were poor, white businessmen took over. And the monarchy was very progressive and pro-democracy and education.
Also, kapu laws were indeed very strict but you could escape that fate by running to a “church” where you were then seen as forgiven by the gods. Hawaiians were a more civilized tribe, setting up different kingdoms and even uniting an entire island. They had messengers and still contacted other Polynesian nations using the “Lonoikamakahiki” title. To figure out more, you gotta take Hawaiian literature as Hawaiian thinking is not straightforward but rather riddles and hidden meanings.

We grew up at my Tutus house on Makaha valley rd (the now dilapidated green house next to the jehovah church) and went to school at Kamaile elementary. The last time I visited home my heart was immediately broken. The beautiful views I once could enjoy from the highway was obstructed by high rises, beaches I once frequented were now inaccessible because it belonged to some rich mainlander.

Yea govern ment will solve the problem 🤣
Can confirm.
My boyfriend and I are traveling to Hawaii next month for vacation, and I am SO GLAD that I watched this before coming! We're aboriginal, and I can definitely relate with these Hawaiian people. 😢
My great aunt was Hawaiian and grew up on Oahu. She said she never went to school and spent all day on the beach. When I visited her she owned a house on the north beach, a humble, homey house, I loved it. She was married to my great Uncle, 30 years her senior, a Norwegian. They were married for years, until he passed away. After that she moved to Washington state to live with her adopted son. It must have been wonderful growing up in Hawaii on the beach.

Oceania has a very different economy thats why
Hawaii is not it's own country that can do whatever. There's only so many things that states can do by themselves. It absolutely could become something like Singapore but that would require some very radical changes and the population will protest it and may get shaken up.
Hawaiians are lazy by nature. They have zero work ethic, unlike Singaporean people.
Singaporeans also say that about Australia
Hawaii is more like UK with all the migrants dumped on that state
It's quite amazing the entirely different attitude they have in the village where they're more community focus and try to help each other while the sister in the big house is more focus on division and prejudices.
Yeah she's delusional she gets to live in a massive multi million dollar house.

yea she came off as nothing but ignorant and entitled. Grew up with a hatred put on her of the whyte man
I didn't see prejudices in her words but I get her point. She just doesn't like invaders coming to her island and increase house and land prices. If you are from US mainland would you welcome immigrants into your state and increasing prices due to non-stop immigrants?! Soon or later you would be unhappy too.

As a person who has visited Hawaii four weeks out of the year for about 6 years now, and is currently about a mile from Lahaina, homelessness has risen exponentially over the last 2 years and it is a major problem. I got a big mac combo last night and it cost me $28. The prices are unlivable and it needs to change
😯
$28 for a meal at *McDonald’s* of all places? That and all of the comments that I’m reading just put everything in perspective for me
$28 for a normal meal??
What a big ripoff 💀
There needs to be boycotting or something cause this is systemic and I know it has to do with Hawaii being a "US terrority", and intergenerational wealth due to centuries of colonization, enslavement, discrimination, white privilege, etc. This is so inferiorating and disgusting.... But what can be done?!

As a Hawaii local I can say that majority of people arent racist/disrespectful to white people (that didn't do nothing bad) like the guy in the red. Most are also okay with tourists but if you do come, don't act like you own the place, leave it better than you found it. If you become a neusence and disrespect the land and people that's when you become a problem.
You mean like immigrants do to America?
I lived here and i had to leave before I even graduated because it was getting so bad; I was literally getting bullied for my race. I got beat up Sopohmore year by a person I didn't even know. i never even talked to him or talked about him at all. he told me "we don't like you here" or "Im a privileged b*tch" while 99% of people at my school dressed way nicer than me and had way more expensive clothes then me. while I was wearing shorts from Walmart. and by the way its nuisance*. Racism isn't ok no matter who you are
maybe stop acting like you own the place 😂
they absolutely are. i live in a tourist town myself so i know how to appropriately act & conduct myself when i visit other places. me and my family experienced first hand racism multiple times. while there’s plenty of awesome & welcoming locals, there’s just as many racist ones
Agree to disagree with this spent three years stationed there half the time even if I showed respect and interest in learning culture still got called a howlie and told to go home but the ones who did show me the same respect and teach me were very kind 75% of the islands income is tourist and military personnel
90% of people who say they're Hawaiian are actually born in Hawaii, but that does not make them Hawaiian by race. There are very few very, very few actual hawaiians. In fact, they have a woman that is the most native Hawaiian, and she was only 60% and she just recently died. So I think it's really strange like my husband is my pretty easy. My children are Micronesian. I am not Micronesian. I'm a Caucasian just because we happen to live somewhere. Does not make us that race. That's silly, that's like saying. In that a white person like Elon Musk, who is from South Africa?Yes, he's South African burst because that was his birthplace.But that does not make him black just because he is from south africa
It's pretty eye opening that basic 2-3 bedroom houses here in Oregon are now priced at +/- $600,000 easily.. Whether it's Hawaii, or Oregon, it makes NO Sense how things can continue to "Function" like this.. What is their goal from here? We always hear about inflation, oh prices HAVE to increase because inflation But in reality, How do they think any of this can continue to exist in this highly disconnected, out of touch, Dysfunctional manner..? We are operating in a way that cannot last. Our system operating how it is can only end up tearing itself apart. It's not a system built to efficiently effectively function. It's frustrating as all hell
Goal? You didn’t hear? You will own nothing and be happy. That’s their “goal”.
That is exaclty their goal. The ones doing it know it isn't sustainable. Same reason why migration numbers are exploding. Even if everyone coming into the country were brain surgeons and engineers able to afford to buy homes, and not need tax payer funded resources to survive. Simple supply and demand would drive home prices up.
@@msv9637yep I’m 20 you think I’l ever own a house? Chances are greatly slimmer thanks to the boomers😂
It's a parasite that eats away at itself. At the rate things are going, it's going to cost $6000. base to rent a one-bedroom apartment, $12,000. for a two bedroom... Some studio condos are already selling for $700,000. and up. To be upper-middle-class now, one has to be a millionaire. Interestingly enough the ancient scrolls said this would happen in our time.
@@_BPB_ it ain’t the boomers it’s the b1ack rock investment whohahs
A friendly reminder that though people may be able to afford 1300 for a studio, no one would let you sign a lease unless you had an income of 3900 a month. This means you need a 46,800 sallery to get the lowest level of accomodations but if your making under 46,799 or lower welcome to being homeless.
It’s funny how everyone there feels the need to desperately explain their ties to Hawaii when asked if they’re Hawaiian

If you go to Hawaii you're in for a big shock. The locals are really doing it tough, but they are such strong people! Even in tough times Hawaiians will still greet you with plenty of smiles.
It’s because rich white people that live on the other side of the earth are buying and stealing the land from the Hawaiians and using up all the natural resources like water it’s messed up when you dig deeper

@@pureluck8767 How dumb are you?
I drove Uber for roughly 4 months full-time in Vegas and I had countless people from Hawaii talk about how they moved from Hawaii because they just could barely even live, within the past couple years due to literally everything. Tough
It was that way in the 90s too, they always loved Vegas, but houses were way cheaper then in Maui. I don;t buy the new story people claim. All these new victims the last years or so.
Filipinos were buying up houses in Lahaina in the 90s, the Hawaiians were unemployed smoking ice all day, drinking kool-aid and getting diabetes.
My question would be if the US left and gave up protection as well would other countries come in for their own interests and would the Hawaiians fight back to defend their homes. Or would Russia or China welcome them with open arms until 100 years later we see the colonization come full circle?
I am a native Georgian and I live in the Appalachian Mountains. Same thing has happened here. Blackrock and short term rentals have bought up everything and tripled the prices in three years. We are located in a national forest but there is a massive building happening. No one local can afford housing.
They are doing this to push ppl into cities so we are like rats in a cage. Can’t grow our own food and rely on the government and elites for all our resources. This is why blackrock is buying all the land up. Our politicians need to start making laws about this. Trump 2024
we will own nothing and be happy. remember folks. its all a game and voting will not stop what's coming.
Ridiculous
As a native sw virginian and Cherokee native, i have been forced from my home because it's too expensive, and theres no jobs
100%. Hoping my husband and I can get a house here in NW GA before the major corps get here and take all the land. Truly devastating as someone who’s lived on the TN/GA border my whole life.
Took my family on vacation to Maui a couple months ago. I totally forgot about the fires when I booked, I booked through Costco as the package was several thousand cheaper than the other islands.
All things aside we had an AMAZING TIME. All the locals we met loved us, but I will say we were super respectful and asked a lot of questions and listened to their plight. On one side of the main road was beautiful beaches and perfectly maintained properties and golf courses, right on the other side of the street was completely decimated neighborhoods it was surreal to see.
I own small businesses so I talked with several business owners and made sure to book everything I did through them and we talked about business in Maui. Even the locals are looking to move away, they just don't know how to do it and financially survive. But literally entire local neighborhoods where the majority of the locals were living were completely gone, like 10 blocks of houses gone and 30 feet away was a perfect golf course green as can be. I see why they have a hatred towards mainlanders. Wish I could post my pics here.
I make better content
Sounds like all tourist areas are having same issues
Hawaii is just harder to leave because it is an island
And if the government wants your land they will get it one way or another
God, I hate how golf courses are everywhere. At least mini golf has artistry to it
The reason there's a perfect gold course as green as can be is, short green grass doesn't burn. Tall, dry grass as high as your shoulders does!
if the places ur at has golf carts aaround it than ur in a haole area lol
yea, I am part Hawaiian. Because I took after my dad's white skin, I was harrassed all my life. But I was raised by my Hawaiian 'Ohana, I know the history, most of the language, I can understand the local pidgin, and I was raised within the culture since my grandmother speaks Hawaiian and she was even a kumu hula. But the locals see my white skin, blue eyes, blonde hair and some hate me, like I had a choice on my skin color lol. Anyway, the monarchy in the 1800s, was all for colonization and global economic growth and the result of this is the overthrow in 1893, and now the large diversity in the islands. I love Hawaii, it is my ancestreal home. But I will move away in 2025. I miss the Hawaii from the old days, the 70s and 80s.
Shut up white boy
@@kapioleilanionalanielua too many hypocrites in Hawaii. Americans treat Hawaiian on the mainland better and that say a lot. Kanakas are xenophobes clinging to a useless monarchy.

From one face tattooed dude to another that guy in the truck is awesome. His mentality was refreshing.
It's unfortunate to hear "Don't come to Hawaii.." because they NEED tourists in order to have their businesses survive and prosper. Hawaii REVOLVES around tourism, but it's so unfortunate that the natives are having to move to the mainland because they're being basically kicked out of their home/paradise because of the INSANE price to live there!
Welcome to Democrat politics
Yup, they need to import, they don't have the full capacity for everything to run without importing things. that's why it's so expensive.
Florida was once a peace and quiet land and look what happened, Hawaii has the same problem, millionaires, billionaires, yachts and private jets, spoiled brat teens and pollution everywhere
I think it’s good they say this, lots of beautiful places to visit, I would rather go somewhere that actually wants me there.
It's happening all over the mainland too, people being kicked out of their homes, not only Hawaii. Mainland mainly bc of property tax in some states.
Newsflash: Maui residents have never accepted "mainlanders." If you've been there, you know this.

I love Uncle Walter. True Hawaiian Aloha. "If tourist no come, I wouldn't meet my wife." Beautiful soul.
My wife came with her family from the Philippines to Hawaii in 1971. We met in 1973 and have been together for 51 years. We got married in Vegas and went to see Donna Summer at the MGM. We also saw Tony Orlando and Dawn, I took a picture of my wife with Tony. She was crying. Over the years we have been to Minnesota. My wife shopped at the Mall of America for 3 days. Indianapolis motor speedway during the 100 year celebration where I kissed the brick. Louisiana, Mardi gras, where we ate alligator, jambalaya,, beignet, pecan pie and chocolate taffy crisp. We also listened to music on the river boat, "rolling down the river". I even saw taro plants growing along the Mississippi River. We went to LA, the Staples Arena to see the Clippers one night and the Kings the next night. Eight hour transition from basketball court to ice hockey. Amazing!!! We went to Seattle, Pikes Market and caught the salmon. Went to Tulalip on a boat with the Native Indians. Went up the Skagit River fishing for salmon. Went fishing in Idaho, Coeur dʻAlene, so cold I couldnʻt handle. Went to Kenai River in Alaska and caught and brought back to Maui 200 lbs. of fillet salmon. We saw Diana Ross and the Lettermen in Vegas. Just to name a few. We also met and Amish family in Missouri that took us into their home for dinner. We never met them before but they were a blessing. The men and boys all dressed with leviʻs, white t-shirt and suspenders. The women and girls wore long dresses and bonnets. Kerosene lanterns and stove, out house toilet. All the vegetables were awesome and the lady of the house made the biggest loaf of bread I have ever saw! You get the picture? ALOHA is a feeling from YOUR HEART! YOUR HEART! YOUR HEART! Whenever I traveled I always brought lots of picturesque calendars, boxes of chocolate covered macadamia nuts, and homemade leis, to share with people we meet. Acts 20:35 It is more blessed to give than to receive.
Did all of these and many more things cause me to want to live there? I thought about it. Land was cheap, food was cheap, gas was cheap, but, Maui no ka oi
Maui is the best. I cannot blame people for wanting to live here. The same goes for many Hawaiians that are curious to see whatʻs up there. It would be nice if everything would balance itself. ONE FOR ONE. The problem with us is that we are limited. We live on a tiny island. You can drive around our island in one day. We have borders. The Pacific Ocean. Aloha Ke Akua
We need to return Hawaii to its origional pure ethnostate!
I am one of seven siblings born and raised in Waianae, one mile from that homeless camp. Back in the 70's at the age of 22 my whole family moved to Oregon we all eventually moved on, but it was the best decision we made. Oregon is a beautiful state and a great place to live. I often go back to Waianae to see friends and family but I would never live there again.

Born and raised on O'ahu. I'm Hawaiian, Filipino, Chinese, and white. Because my ethnicities were so mixed I never closely identified with any of them. I never related to Hawaiian pride or pride of any race. I got accepted to Kamehameha Schools but decided not to attend. Why do I get privilege for something I didn't even do? To me it's not relevant. No one chooses where they are born, or who their parents are, so what's there to be proud of?
Hawaii will always feel like home. I feel a deep connections to the ocean, the mountains, the land, the rivers, the rains. I cry when I hear chanting and prayers in the Hawaiian language. But this doesn't make me special, everyone has connections to where they were born, the early childhood impressions, the local customs. When I talk to Hawaii locals, many times they feel like they are special, like a different type of human separate from other humans on the globe. I've even heard people think that terms like "windward/leeward side", the word "local", or not wearing shoes in the house is a uniquely Hawaii thing. Or that "Aloha" is a uniquely Hawaii trait. I've felt Aloha in the rural Midwest, in NYC, Russia and many other places.
Sure it takes bravery to try and revolt against the dominant institution to try to make things better for your people. But don't try to put the monarchy of Hawaii up on some pedestal. They were just as human as the rest of us, and they were actively trying to partner with powerful countries to gain more power and influence for themselves. They weren't trying to restore ahupua'a. They were dressing like Brits, acquiring military weapons and teaching everyone the Bible. Kamehameha School is a Christian school! How do you qualify a religion in a Hawaiian school that basically says that all the previous Hawaiians are in eternal hell for not knowing about or accepting Jesus, or for worshiping "idols" or being polytheistic, etc.
What a great mindset you have. That is awesome. Some might disagree, but having, being born into privileges based on a construct is the hallmark of many countries. And unfortunate it has been in operation for so long that change is inviable regardless of how many civil rights movement, or amendments are made to the land of the law.
Kamehameha schools???is there such a thing really????😅
hou yea u, u tell em brah 😂🤙
Exactly, I grew up in Oregon on the ocean and river, it's a very tourist town. It's also been priced out by the same things as the Hawaiians are experiencing. Land is scarce and the price has more than doubled for homes. So I was born white, and poor, I don't get any special treatment. I've also had to move away for better work opportunities
what you said is cool and i appreciate your perspective. your Christian theology is off tho
You know as a local and a fan I've never been so happy to see tylers representation. The world always sees Hawaii's tourist side but never our local side. We are always getting watered down by the stereotypes and the tourism ads always hide all the struggles we go through. This really touch me tbh ♥️
