Honolulu is the #1 Tourist Destination in the World.

            In 1959, Hawaii was formally admitted to the Union as

            the 50th state. Located in the middle of the Pacific,

            Oahu was nicknamed "the Gathering Place" or

            "the Aloha State" because of its diverse mix-plate

             culture; considered to be top ten most expensive cities.

             While Hawaii is often viewed as paradise, the islands

             face real-world challenges including traffic congestion,

             homelessness, drug abuse, and environmental concerns.

             People are leaving Hawaii primarily due to the high

             cost of living, including expensive housing, and limited

             economic opportunities on the island. There are fewer

             high-paying jobs available compared to the mainland,

             which restricts career advancement and wealth-building.

              Other significant factors include the desire to be closer

              to family on the mainland, and in some cases, the feeling

              of being limited by island life, including geographical

              isolation, and a desire for different lifestyles.
