It’s called “Last Haole Off the Boat Syndrome” – don’t be guilty of it!
In this short video, Dylan explains a local version of “Nimbyism” which contributes to lack of available housing which drives up the cost. If Hawaii is in your future (or your present, for that matter) don’t fall victim to this kind of thinking – which is not only prevalent in Hawaii but in other areas of the US mainland. Show me a district where the residents fight against new developments and I’ll show you a district with sky-high real estate prices.

Excellent video.
Glad you found it valuable!
This is a ridiculous statement, and racist. Especially by calling white people Haoles. The mainland is all races. All cities across the country have a housing shortage, not just Hawaii. Stop thinking you are special. When I lived there all the locals I knew owned homes! Every single one of them had homes as well as their extended family. I had to live in a tiny 300 Sq ft Ohana scraping by. Stop blaming your cost and issues on The Mainland. Should we refuse residents of Hawaii entry into the mainland due to cost? Vegas one-bedroom apartments in a livable area with less crime are now at $1500-$2000 a month. It’s everywhere.
Did you actually watch this? None of your comments were said in the video. I’d be interested in what you have to say after you actually watch it
I agree with you, Peter. There is no way that this person watched the video. Because the video actually says the opposite of what she’s thinking is being said. Some people…smh.
Mahalo Janice! It’s like she read the headline only and decided to interpret what it meant according to her own bias. But okay.
