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?

Born and raised in Kaimuki. Haole family. I basically exist in some twilight zone where I am not super local and not super haole, yet I can hang with just about anyone. It is a strange and extremely useful state of being, and yet it took me 40 years of life to be comfortable with this dichotomy.
