Thinking about retiring in Oahu or making the big jump from California to Hawaii? In this episode, Kenny breaks down the real costs, cultural dynamics, and lifestyle shift of making the move to the islands.

We dive into the raw differences between California and Hawaii living costs, the unexpected logistics of flying back to the mainland, and why Hawaii Kai HOA fees can run upwards of $1,500 a month. Plus, we answer live viewer questions about recent $2M+ sales in Makakilo and address the heavy, important conversation around housing demand, Native Hawaiian displacement, and approaching island life with humility and respect.
