Pros and Cons of Living in Maui Hawaii | Maui Real Life

Fabulous video! I adore Kaanapali and Kapalua!

The biggest con is the corruption at the County level and the rampant incompetence and nepotism that makes this island very dangerous during/post a natural disaster. And don’t forget about the abysmal healthcare.

Hawaii has 21 army installations that they no longer need, these installations should be turned over to the Hawaii people for living space.

Aloha from Makawao. My wife and I just recently moved here from to be with her family Colorado. One thing we’ve loved moving here is being able to still have mountains (being from Colorado it can be kind if depressing if you are in a place where you can’t see mountains), but not having winter temperatures is so nice. Also for us the monitory side of things seems the same to us because Colorado is also very expensive but the wages for our jobs here actually pay significantly better.

Expensive! A fun place to visit once a year… that’s it! 😉😉

I really love the Island of Maui, especially Lahaina (what is not existing currently) and Kapalua. I was visiting several times, because I was hooked on the lifestyle and the climate. Otherwise, I've to say, that there are many beautiful vacation places in this world. I personally love the Maledives and the Seychelles, not so crowded, and so much nature. Unnecessary to say, that you need a lot of money to take a vacation on Maui. My husband and I spent nearly 30k for 14 days, of course it included 12 nites at the Lahaina Shores and we went to restaurants every day. I did some good shopping too in exclusive paintings. Anyway, this world has great places to enjoy a beautiful vacation. Just to everybody, keep all the opportunities worldwide in your mind. Much ALOHA. 😂❤

I am Maui'an, and a Hana Tour Guide, but Maui is NOT smaller than Oahu; the islands are actually in exact order of size, yet in contrast to their age, ergo BI (Hawaii) is the largest, but youngest, and Kauai the oldest but smallest......Population is grim contrast to size of islands: Oahu holds about 95% of HI-population = 1.14 mio. vs. 1.4 mio in total.

I believe with the STR going to hit condos that real estate will values will take a significant depreciation. It has to fulfill the goal of providing affordable living.

Thank you

Good video ,very honest and informative. I'm Caucasian from New York City here over 30 years. There is racism and prejudice against caucasians which you haven't mentioned YET.

A lot of your pros and cons could apply to life here in SoCal. Of course, our taxes are atrocious. How are they in Maui?

Brah! I wanna play hockey. I live in Kihei. Where sign up?

Hey Josh what an amazing video. The Top Lists were spot on so I will of course validate it from our experience over the last 4+ years. We feel as if we were embraced by Maui so we are totally in sync with the culture, land, and lifestyle. Often while driving in Kihei I will see a “neighbor” sitting at an intersection trying to gain access and so I flick my car lights so they can cross in front of me. Most times the locals get it, unfortunately the visitors won’t and will not be aware of this hint. But that spirit of Aloha - so bra take it easy, no hurry, etc is all part of the life here. That would be a fun video to do - what really is Aloha and how do we show it to one another here on Maui (I.e., driving, shopping, beach smiles/greetings). Great no an AMAZING video. Can’t wait to see more… Thanks.

Aloha, very helpful, much appreciated. I'd welcome a chance to learn more. Mahalo.

Maui is way too crowded. I live on the Big Island and only go to Maui if I absolutely have to.

Maui needs a mass transit system. Oahu waited too long.

I live in Maui. I smoke weed all day. I don’t have a job.🚬

Wow typical gentrification. Do you even know any kanaka maoli people. Pls dont live here come visit if you must then go home.
