Living in Los Angeles

[jwb]

I recently spoke to a woman who visits Hawaii every year. Since Hawaii became an American state, Hawaii isn't the Hawaii anymore it used to be.
The same will prob happen to Hong Kong after the Chinese inquisition.

iron cross said on Hawaii which means the island of Hawaii not anywhere in Hawaii. I've lived on Maui and currently live in east Oahu. I visit Hawaii (the island) and it is my favorite part of the islands... especially the Hilo side.

Damn that would be a nice place to live. Is there any affordable housing to be found around there? Meaning $400k or less.

You can get a house in Hilo for 400k. I'd love to retire there it is a really quiet place compared to Honolulu.

The key to living in Hawaii as a white person is to realize you are an ethnic minority.

In other words, keep your mouth shut around strangers.

Damn, that is a nice little home. I could enjoy retirement living in that house. But I am white and don't normally keep my mouth shut lol. So I will probably end up in the bottom of a volcano.

Many native Hawaiians are not fond of the "intruders" who've taken over their islands.

Vacation and visiting

Tough titty.  Tell them to take it up with their grandparents who voted overwhelmingly to become a US state.  

As if they'd be better off with their indigenous culture of savagery and monarchy.  We saved those idiots from themselves.

We may have saved some who didn't want saving. Anyway, haven't you noticed that people tend to gripe about stuff, even people who are living off the system. A teenage black girl I once knew, would complain to me that my forefathers kept her ancestors as slaves. Really? What the heck has this to do with today? I hope she got over it at some point. What a miserable way to live.

Incidentally, she was right. Some of my forefathers owned plantations and kept slaves.

So.Cal. for life!

I used to live in Los Angeles (mid-Wilshire Blvd. area). The city is an expensive place to live but there is a different spark to the city that other US cities don't have. But the grocery store prices are way higher than Houston.

I moved to Houston earlier this summer for a technical writer job after being laid off in LA. The job here was a contract position and since ended. But still interested in maybe moving back. It's a large decision to make.

There are a lot of good gyms if your also a bodybuilder.

If I wasn't so close to retirement I would have went ahead and given it a shot. But I would of had to work about 8-10 more years instead of 4 1/2. I travel to Houston 2-3x a year for work. Damn that humidity is brutal. Hopefully you did not occur damage from Harvey. Several of our buildings were affected there. 2 were a total loss.

I am grateful to be in SoCal literally everyday at some point. I will just be driving and think god damn I sure am happy to be living here. I blame those damn long cloudy spells in Washington lol. If you like warm weather, fitness, the beach, and the "spotlight" So Cal is the place to be.
