I live in Hawaii. No choice. I hate the attitudes here. Aloha only works with natives and some locals, but they still claim it. It’s been gone a long time now.
I wish the feds would shut off the money supply and shut this place down. They hate businesses, working, and have turned paradise into a homeless, lawless cesspool.
I’d leave if I could.
Sorry to hear that you’re stuck there. I visited twice and came to the conclusion that HI is in my list of places I never want to live along with CA, NY, MA, NJ, CT, IL, DE and RI.
Regarding the constitutional matter...Didn't we settle this in 1865? Their state constitution does not override the Federal regarding the bill of rights. The US Constitution's Second Amendment is crystal clear. 'Shall not be infringed...'. There is no wiggle room. There is no alternate interpretation...and there is certainly no state that can choose which of the amendments they follow and which they do not. The SCOTUS will rip them a new hole in short order.
I use to live on Oahu and then Kauai. Aloha is an invented fakery for tourism. It’s like any other place. Kauai wasn’t so bad but Oahu had the locals attitude of Hells Kitchen with a nicer view.
Thats a hard line Amigo!

Felt the Same about California

A Big Difference.
I didn’t have to consider swimming.
