I Ventured Into The Shocking Ghettos Of Hawaii 

I think many watch your videos because they can identify with and understand the lower income areas more than the fancy, expensive places. yeah, it's nice to see beautiful, expensive neighborhoods. But that feels out of reach for many. The "run down" places just seem more real.

You don't know what a Quonset hut is? Anyway it is a legacy of the military. You won't find upscale homes around military installations.

I can't handle the islands and Honolulu OAHU IS NOT THE BIGGEST OR LARGEST ISLAND ITS THE BIG ISLAND HAWAII,🎉HAWAII..GO BAC WHERE U CAME FROM AND TAKE YOUR FRIENDS WITH U PLEASE,HAWAII IS FOR HAWAIIANS NOT MAINLANDERS

Take pictures from where U live not hea I should pay for those VIDEOS

Sell your land to someone that appreciates it . If You aint doing anything with it but Complaining that the White man is keeping you down

It takes money and time to fix up a house, money and time these people don't have. Local people also have the attitude of by 'n by. They are just enjoying life the way it is.

You are confusing the Locals of Hawaii with the Amish of Pennsylvania and the Midwest.

time and money to pick up trash???????

@@barbaracalhau4168i THINK you mean “bum’by”, as in “by & by” as in ‘eventually’. it’s basically ‘pidgin’ english.

I just left town. I lived near Central Middle school.. once my daughter got out of the nightmare called Royal she was set to go to Central. I got the f*** out of Hawaii. I'm not putting her through that.

Our views are from the Outside of the housing, so many different lives and different situations with in the homes that are good and bad, just like everywhere. There is also prejudice every where, every Country, every state, every city, every town. So Hawaii isn't any different, and people who vacation here hopefully aren't so blind that they don't realize that poverty exists everywhere. I think we need to focus on fighting drugs and alcohol abuse, mental Illness etc, these things are very connected to helping create poverty. Thanks for doing this video and sharing it with us ❤🙏

Ocean point?

​@Lopezflies888 I hear ya. I did the same for my family the tail end of 2016. Left the state and never went back.

@@88amona For me, a former Floridian, it is sad to leave what was once paradise. The tourism factories (corporations) came in a took away the beauty. I know we used to complain about the snowbirds but I know they provided income for many. I feel your pain for having to leave to go to another place. Hopefully not LA of Vegas. You might be going from bad to worse. Best of luck and hope you are living the life you want outside of where you were.

@@juliemanarin4127 the culture is different on mainland. They might speak the same language but it's like telling an American to move to canada or Australia. Most people who move come back. A lot of times they're successful by working and saving on the mainland and come here to buy a house.

🤬💬 If you look at his other videos, Clips. As he makes his rounds around the island, he's only looking for negative, and stays focus. On people's hardship, nothing but negative criticism. He gives the island people, not places or things. Can you see or hear him say anything positive about anything? This is why (Howley's or White's) are disliked. or should I say? Hated? It's people like him and other youtubers that go there and criticize people's hardship, but he's the worst. He mentioned he's from North Carolina. Too bad he didn't make any of those remarks out loud or the local people: would have shin checked him and gave him another permanent scar. , he'll put his wife's in danger over there, or somewhere else. they'll see this video and remember. Him You'll see him on the local or national news. And those are some Mighty. big boys and girls. Those girls would have had his wife join the party, too. When I was there, there was a military white guy. And 2 blacks White. look identical like that Russian guy who fought Rocky in the movie. Me and 2 local girls we were in Kaneohe in oahu. That white dude started talking S💩 putting the 2 girls down with F#%? Up Jokes. for no reason, so I put him down with a few of my own. The girl. started laughing, and so did his military Black buddies at the end. I said to him, "How do you like me now?" He automatically wanted to fight. He stood around (6'3"=250)he looks like a weight lifter. I'm(5'11"= 195. At the time I said to him, let it go. We're out to have a good time He said no. I'm about to F#%? U up"?!! So I started removing my shirt off. My body is blasted with tattoos from head toe. His 2 black friends seen all my tattoos & said oh your from the hood then told him he was on his own. I told him I'm not from here. I'm from California. I made a quick prayer to the Lord to see me through this He was big and healthy.💪 So we squared up. I faked I was going to throw a punch Instead i kick him in his nuts. Wrap my legs behind his legs and flip him At the same time with my hand Pushing up on his throat As I pushed him Backwards to the ground. I allowed him to get back up and ask him did he have enough. He said no"!! So I did the same Thinking he wasn't going to expect that again.and got him back on the ground again this time. I kicked him few times in his ribs and in his head. I asked him. Did he have Enough he said yes.🥹 He asked Why were we fighting"😵‍💫? If he only knew. What I knew What I had learned. from older brother Held two different degrees of black belt & new tyboxing are dad. Also, he trained us in boxing, He learned that before going to the Marines, we lived in the hood. So for old (Nicky,) it just a matter of time, somebody will hear him or remember him from videos, he makes And the sad thing is that his wife is going to pay for his Stupidity.🥴💥👊🏿✌️ Out.

@@RaveN_EDM I live in Makaha and saw a lot for sale that’s 100ftx150ft for $900K! Big enough to put a two room tent on! Nowhere near enough for a home. I couldn’t believe almost a million bucks for a tiny lot!

Period

Tell you what, leave all your valuable belongings in your car, and leave your car there for 24 hrs with the windows down. Let me know if its ghetto or not.

Not just people who live there but the landlords. Some tenants don't want it to get fixed up because that would mean they need to move out and that's what's going to happen once they get most places renovated. Do you own your home?

​​@@house_greyjoy absolutely. You aren't going to believe this, but I realized what you shared and came back to add it to my comment. Property owners; especially land lords benefit from a crappy looking property, because it does save them on property value taxes. I'm a minimalist, so I do own, but nothing showy. I keep it clean, nice, but not to show off. There is no trash in my neighborhood or unkept looking places, because I make sure of it and people routinely cut their lawns. We all could do more to beautify the world. I can't begin to count how many trees I've planted or seeds I've scattered.

@@WilliamCooper-l6f Anyone that owns a home, that improves it, will have their property taxes increase. In my city they actually have a 'right' to inspect inside properties and rate everything. If you put in an expensive kitchen, bathroom, improve the finishes....your property taxes are going up. Any improvement, inside or out, including yards, may/will increase your property value, which increases your property taxes. It's a Catch-22.

I've figured out how to work the system... through utube videos🎉 my paperwork/online game is legit son... Now I'm tax free and income of 53,000 plus medical and housing...I quit my damn job and retired. Good luck friends more and more are following our path.😊

You are right! And good that you help out your less fortunate neighbors

That’s what I thought. Thanks

Oahu is the largest by population.

I thought so,

It's the most populated .

Exactly my thoughts

Gee , and I always thought it was the Japanese business men

all the USA did to hawaii was give them modern technology. its the native hawaiians that made it the dump it is.

Nothing worse than a traitor

I didn't get it...😮

Hawaii sucks. Big time

I lived on Kauai for a year when I was 18 and only 1k in my bank account. It really is doable if really want it.

well remember now, just about EVERYTHING comes from offshore; construction materials, cars, clothing, MOST foodstuffs, basic necessities, electronics, books, luxury goods…you name it, it’s coming from somewhere ELSE. shipping costs have skyrocketed too. & the public transportation system is a killing joke. in terms of livelihood you have tourism, construction trades, education system (ANOTHER grim joke over there), the military, corporate agriculture & criminal activity. not much else. 🫤

@babagalacticus Unless I was a Hawaiian native or a billionaire, living in Hawaii seems like a lose/lose situation through my eyes.

IKR?

That would be considered poverty in California too.

55k works just fine. Thats like 4500 a month. Honestly, 1500-1800 1bd/1bth appartment.2 people with combined income works great.

Had choke in Ewa Beach back when I was growing up

First DESIGNED there, yes, but manufactured everywhere during the war.

Bet the designers put in a lot of overtime coming up with that design.

Loved them while stationed in Korea. Pretty cool design.

No big draw for me. Too far from the East Coast & the rain. Don’t dig that whole Locals Only crap

Was born there and lived for a short time, only draw is childhood memories; after that, its just another human inhabited American dump . . .

Ahhhh... but at least unlike North Korea you don't have a bunch of "Minders" following every step you take and restricting "Where" and "When" you can go and "Who" you can engage in free & open conversations with!

Nah, couldn't be. I think Oprah and friends would like to invite all their Island neighbors over for a barbecue and car give away.

Good luck to them trying to get native Hawaiians off the island.

Typical dumb remark

Bing poor doesnt mean you have to live in and be a pile garbage.

yea I don't like islands either, fun at first, or maybe if you were born there.. but the best part is getting off the island and back to mainland, that's just me

​@patriciaanndemello4652 there are many peoples, often not of Caucasian descent, that don't do well in Western Civilization. They do better in the ways of their ancestors

The rent even in the slums is around 2k per month. If they are not working then they end up homeless and sleeping in the bushes.

Hawaii was different 20 years ago

Thank you for your service. Born and raised in ewa beach and still here. Much has progressed here in the ewa plains but of course like all things hawaii it’s expensive to live here. Next to bad governing and politics the natives sure make it worse. Anti American agenda makes me feel like an outsider or a true haole. Vow to never leave the islands because of my fondness but when shit hits the fan with the natives will have to move. Being born here makes me an American, however they claimed Hawaii isn’t American but rather forced. So what does that make me? Hawaiian? Instead of rising up and making their land a beautiful place to live for their families they choose to fight an unending winless fight. And that’s why they don’t progress.

Same story as you, I grew up waianae, makaha to be exact, graduated from waianae highschool and joined the navy. Did my time and wanted to move back to hawaii.. decided not to because of the cost of living.

Just another reason for you to bash America

Maybe cause it’s the housing that’s expensive

😮

In Hawaii it is very common for many generations to live under one roof. Husband and wife with their 20 something year old son and his girlfriend with their small children all living in one house... Sometimes one of the wife's or husbands parents live with them too.. generally it is these 20 or 30 something year olds living rent free in their parents homes who drive the nice lifted expensive new Toyota trucks and SUVs

I noticed that too. Boats, 1 ton new model trucks. Crazy

Most of these single family homes he drove by cost over 700k. It might look like a dump but land is very expensive. Looks like a ghetto until you realize that there's a 40k truck parked in front of a 700k house and the guy living there might be a electrician or carpenter making over 100k a year.

English immigrants used to live in them when they came to Australia. Many returned home. Hot

I lived in a Wainanae Quonset hut in the mid 70's ,$60 a month, free pakalolo and Hawaiian music from my neighbors. Lualualei Valley. I may have seen the street in this video.
