Dey can barely afford rent cuz mainlanders like us movin’ in drive prices way high. Even tho rents were real low compared to where we came from back east (like $1k a month!), still felt wrong takin’ away homes from local families who couldn’t even compete wit us financially for rentals or buy houses at all cuz dey just too expensive nowadayz 💸 👀Da Nature Not So Chill No Mo’: Den dere was da nature side of things… Everyting look nice n pretty at first but den you start see some real bad kine sh*t go down right in front yo eyes like trash wash up everywhere on beach shorelines or buildings being built next ta sacred sites without any respect given by outsiders comin ta visit or live here long-term ✋🏽 We knew if nothin changed soon dis place gonna get messed up fast—an no one want dat happen!! Dey Got Rules Fo Outsiders Too!: An finally, yeah das right – deres rules fo visitors too!!
As much as everyting seem free n open out here – Hawaiians got laws bout wat outsiders can do an cant do while stayen der which sometimes mean havin ta miss outta fun activities o events jus cuz yer not local (even tho yer payen taxes!). We didn’t really understand why dis rule existed but guess its jus part of keepen island culture alive 👍🏽 In the end me n my friends learned a lot about Hawaiian culture durinen our time there — both good and bad
