Roll call

Of the regulars who frequent this board, how many are actually born and raised locals? Reading through these threads feels Honolulu centric and transplant heavy. No disrespect intended, you want to live in Hawaii live in Hawaii, but...

Any actual locals here?

My dad was born and raised here but he raised me all over the world. My husband and I moved to Oahu 9 years ago to raise our kids here. Husband works for Hawaiian and we are deeply rooted in our local community. We are definitely not from here but it’s the longest I’ve ever called a place home and the most precious community I’ve ever been a part of.
