class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Although it&#8217;s a more complex transition than a relocation on the mainland, moving to Hawaii offers plentiful rewards: beautiful weather year-round, easy access to miles of gorgeous white sand beaches, abundant outdoor activities, and, of course, Hawaii&#8217;s unique aloha spirit that infuses the local culture.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-is-it-like-moving-to-hawaii\"><\/span>What is it like moving to Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Bottom Line. Moving to Hawaii is expensive but it can be a very rewarding place to live. The weather, outdoors life, and sunsets can be remarkable every single day. However, your taxes, housing, and overall cost of living is almost certain to increase if you&#8217;re moving from most other parts of the country.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-it-hard-moving-to-hawaii\"><\/span>Is it hard moving to Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Your move is an exciting and fun time, but it should also be one that&#8217;s done with caution and realistic expectations, or else you may be one of the hundreds who move back to the mainland each year. Hawaii is paradise for many reasons, but it&#8217;s also a difficult place to live for most because of the economy.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"whats-wrong-with-living-in-hawaii\"><\/span>Whats wrong with living in Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There is still traffic and crime, and there are still some rude people in Hawaii like anywhere else. We have homeless people and drug problems in Honolulu, like any major city. People who are new to Hawaii tend to live for about a year in the honeymoon stage, still euphoric about just living in Hawaii at all.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-i-live-in-hawaii-on-2000-a-month\"><\/span>Can I live in Hawaii on $2000 a month?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you decide to rent, you&#8217;re looking payment of just under $2,000 per month, and that&#8217;s if you pay the median price. To keep the utilities running in a small apartment in Honolulu, you&#8217;re facing a cost of around $285 per month.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-people-shouldnt-visit-hawaii\"><\/span>Why people shouldn&#8217;t visit Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There&#8217;s not enough natural resources and housing to go around. As tourists continue to enter Hawai&#8217;i, residents are also getting fed up with the water shortages. Overtourism is keeping <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/trendingsimple.com\/hawaii\/maui\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Maui\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">Maui<\/a> residents from watering their lawns, washing cars, irrigation and other nonessential activities.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-do-hawaiian-locals-hate-tourists\"><\/span>Why do Hawaiian locals hate tourists?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Kam explained that some of the primary issues residents are facing include overcrowding, damage to the environment, and higher cost of living.

We live here and it&#8217;s our lives that visitors impact.

More than 60 percent of the jobs in the state pay less than $20 per hour and two-thirds pay less than $15 per hour. That&#8217;s less than half of what households need to earn in Hawaii for survival.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-is-the-biggest-problem-in-hawaii\"><\/span>What is the biggest problem in Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>According to the survey, conducted by Ward Research, the top issues for residents on Hawaii Island are homelessness, drugs and traffic.
