Why move the Big Island

Life on BI

I know that part of the reason this sub exists is to make sure people are aware what they are getting into when moving to Hawaii.

  1. Cost of Living - shocker if you don’t come from California, Washington (Seattle side), Massachusetts, or Alaska.

  2. Healthcare - it’s not Kentucky or Georgia but not always easy to get good healthcare. That said, got some of the highest ranking in health outcomes.

  3. Impact on local community - don’t come and sponge and take away jobs or make housing more expensive. Be part of the community and respect that you are an outsider.

  4. It can be remote - city slickers be aware.

  5. It’s not a holiday - living there is different from holidays on the beach.

Loads more reason to scare people off. How about a list of reasons people should move if they are considering it?
