Yea, but there’s issues there too. Kona side is HOT and humid. You need A/C, and electricity is 3X the mainland. Hilo side is cooler, but 120+” of rain, a dozen tropical storms a year (very entertaining, but feet of rain, high winds, trees come down, flooding). Loud tourist helicopters non-stop 365 days/yr fly over your house. Huge cruise ships drain stores dry. Huge tour buses on 2 lane Hwy’s. Very high taxes, horrible infrastructure, inept/indifferent governance. There’s no perfect place...
LOL
I live in a perfect place for someone who is getting up in age...........Free health care and legal marijuana.


Cheers
