I’ve only been to 3 of the islands, and they are all beautiful, but I keep going back to Oahu. It just feels so comfortable to me. You can go from city to country very fast, and it’s all so lovely in between. The air just feels so good in Hawaii, you are #lucky to live in paradise!

[@CaliSteve169]

Can you do a video on where on Oahu you can farm on your property, raise chickens etc?

[@krkope8277]

Great video. You do a great job of demystifying Hawaii. And your OC comparison always slays me.

[@mailagibson6787]

😬 thank you.

[@AlbertO-yi2js]

Such an informative video. Keep up the great work.

[@mailagibson6787]

Thank you!

Aloha..tuning in from Hampton Roads Virginia. Reason 1: competing in milti-day, multi island endurance race in 2025 and want to learn more about the area, Reason 2: Retired empty nesters looking to slow down and live. Currently looking at either O'ahu or even the Big Island.

[@sharonlippert3636]

I thought the ferry stopped going from Maui to Molokai? I'm glad it's back.

[@michaelmullan2898]

Thank you. Looking forward to my first vacation!!

[@H..M..]

Great video and great info. Thanks!

[@mailagibson6787]

Thank you!

I'm watching from Antigua, and the same issues we have with high real estate pricing is appearing in places like Hawaii and other Caribbean islands as well. It just seems to me that there is a coordinated real estate effort to convert the Islands into prime property locations, pushing the pricing up and pricing the locals out. Some of the prices you have called out are absolutely ridiculous and astonishing. They're unreal. At the same time, in Las Vegas, if you are a resident and present your State Resident ID, you get most things geared towards tourists at half price, including hotels and what not. In like manner, the people who live, have always lived in the Hawaii Islands should not ever have to hear the prices you're quoting as easy as Sunday morning. That's just wrong. And if you're building in Hawaii, make sure you get a blue roof. They're the only houses in Maui that wasn't burned down by the lasers.

[@luchogomez8757]

Very helpful thank you!

[@coconutman351]

Aloha Maila, excellent and very informative video! As always great video production and presentation by you. Keep up the great work on the informative videos and advice. Hope to see you around Hawaii Kai!

[@mailagibson6787]

Thank you!!! Yay Hawaii Kai.

[@wandasanchez551]

Great information. Love all the islands. They all have their own flavor. Oahu has all the amenities. As for the Hawai'ian language, although I'm a mainlander, our Kumu at our Halau really emphasized correct pronunciation. Wish I could move there. Lot's of family in Kaneohe.

[@mailagibson6787]

I agree. It’s hard for me not to use the 'okina.

[@iLoveKalifornia]

Can you please please do a video on CondoTels?! Really interested in buying a condotel on Honolulu

[@Puna_9thIsland]

#1 already explains a lot. 😵

[@annettekakazu4506]
