50 minutes into the video and I haven't seen ANYTHING that would cause me to want to visit there. Thank you for showing this content because you saved me THOUSANDS of dollars.

It's not worth working 80 plus hours a week to live there. No way.. I have no clue why anyone would do that.

The gentleman sweeping the sidewalk at the 7:35 mark is one of a kind. His name is Charles. We stayed at the resort next to his house July 2022 Upon arriving, I noticed his mango tree full of fruit. My daughter and I asked to buy some but he said no. And instead gave us mangoes twice that week. Thank you Charles!!

Born in Honolulu 1957. Then lived there from 1976 to 1989. The best times. I rented a spacious 2bdrm + a Lanai for 250.00 a month. in 1978). Dated a handsome local guy surfer firefighter. Went to luaus, fireman parties...the bestest time in my life.

I really enjoyed the bonus footage with Richard while driving around. That was fun!

Nick, many of the homes that you see while touring Oahu, are owned, free and clear by longtime Hawaii residents. During the early 1900’s, a great number of those homes (or bare land in which houses were later built on, were purchased by immigrants from Asia who worked in the sugar and pineapple industries, and also as fishermen. Real estate was dirt cheap back in the day. Many of the current property owners today are beneficiaries of the original Hawaii immigrants who passed down ownership of the land to future family generations. However, these days; first time home buyers looking to buy a home in Hawaii, be it a detached house or condo; can expect to pay in excess of $900K or much, much more. Additionally, the HOA/Maintenance fees for various properties are ridiculous….

I miss Hawaii the way it was 30 years ago. I have no desire to go back seeing what has happened to it today, even though I will always love the place and glad I was fortunate enough to be able to live there for 12 years in my younger days. The beauty of those islands will be forever engrained in my mind, just unforgettable.

Chickens are a great source of pest control. Natural pest control those little raptors will eat anything

We went with our best friends( gone now, sadly). Once you experience this place, you will never be the same. I loved the place and its people. I truly hope they are spared from any bad things to come. Mahalo and best wishes to them❤

Nick Johnson, I thank you taking us on a tour to see what's going on in Honolulu!

My BIL was a firefighter on Oahu & his wife was native. They lived in Haleiwa & I was so lucky that they took me all over the island, except avoided Honolulu, so this is my first look at it. What a well-made video this is! Congratulations, Nick Johnson, my IE brother, nearly at one million👍

Born Honolulu in 1944 and raised on the beach's of the big Island, Hilo. Love the Islands but, they are over populated and money has ruined the Islands. Will never go back to that madness. Bailing on this video, makes me sick

Nick, I hope you read this. Your editing, Storytelling and humor is probably nothing short of genius in my humble opinion. There really isn't any other format like this and I hope your honesty and funny approach will get you far and high in YouTube and beyond, you probably deserve a Netflix or Amazon gig (idk why but Phil Rosenberg comes to mind and Steve Irwin and Anthony Bourdain, that kind of caliber). What a great documentary Style, 5 minutes in but I'll have to watch the rest another time.

We were lucky enough to be allowed to see the beyond beautiful mosaics in the Punchbowl. The beauty of that place will take your breath away❤

Good video... I have absolutely no desire to visit Honolulu after watching.

Make sure to subscribe Nick and Mappy are getting close to 1 million. Thanks for the entertainment.

Don’t go! Not worth it. Was there 25 years ago, it was ok, just started with the trash, homeless and drug addicts. Went 3 years ago. Just a disaster. Along the west coast, along 93 , Hawaiian Electric Beach, Nanakuli. Major homeless encampments. Friend and I pulled in the parking to check it out. People were hostile, angry. Couple cops pull up and told us in very unfriendly terms, “get out, this beach isn’t for you, it’s dangerous “ we went up to Keawaula Beach, Sunset Point. Wonderful, and North Shore, amazing. Anyplace closer to Honolulu, don’t go. Its like driving in LA and very crowded everywhere

Maybe if I put in more hours of overtime at my job at Wal-Mart I can finally achieve my dream of oceanfront property in Hawaii.

Got married and spent 10 days there a years ago. North Shore was one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. Breaks your heart to see what has to the locals.
