Speaking of driving, buses are also very rough. I often get almost run over.
Also, many people have hearing loss.
I want to tell them to buy hearing aids if they buy a car because the music and exhaust noise are so loud and annoying.
The noise from ambulances and other vehicles is also excessive.

Hawaii is so poorly drained that just a few hours of heavy rainfall, let alone a large puddle, left us ankle-deep in water in the middle of Waikiki on 5/18.
Manholes were overflowing with water.

Ambulances are noisy because cars don't move out of the way immediately.

Unlike Japan, medical expenses are extremely high and patients are gods. I don't think any hospital will refuse to accept ambulance patients because they are not cheap like in Japan.

In Japan, some people lose their lives because they are rushed around, but you don't have to worry about that, but be careful because they charge very high fees.

Even for Hawaii residents who have medical insurance, the cost is so high that I heard that a tourist who was not covered by travel insurance and was hospitalized in Hawaii had to sell his house in Japan to pay for medical expenses in Hawaii. I can understand why this unusual medical system makes people think about returning to Japan in their old age.

If you are fed up with Hawaii, you should consider moving to the mainland states.

I moved here from CA, but I lived in LA, CA, and some people said the cost of living was high
but I don't think so ？.

I was puzzled by the way of taxation at first, but now I understand
that it is the way of taxation.

Where do you want to live ？ You should start from there ？

Then, if you decide to live in Hawaii, don't complain.

I went to see a friend who lives in Manhattan Beach, LA last week, but prices are cheaper in LA, restaurants, etc. ！
Hawaii is an island, so it costs a lot to transport everything, so I think the high prices are unavoidable ！.

#6 Hawaii

I agree with what you wrote.
Hawaii, Japan, and the mainland are all great places to live.
If you don't think so, just shut up and move.
I am happy to live in a place with such a great climate, where I can eat Japanese food as much as I like,
and where people are hospitable
I think.
