Honolulu, Hi is beautiful. It’s sunny, the perfect temperature, there’s hiking, beaches, and a lot of really wonderful and diverse foods. What I would like to see change is the traffic and insufficient public transportation. With the new railway, many of the relied upon bus routes have been cancelled and the railway has very few stops that are beneficial to anyone. The island is small and so many people live and visit here that they’ve had to build the roads up because there’s no more space. Tourism is what helps this island thrive and I’d hate to see it decrease because of traffic and lack of space.
Honolulu is a beautiful place to live and is a very unique atmosphere and environment unlike many other communities on the mainland. I enjoy the culture and strides the community takes to preserve the environment. I can feel the aloha spirit and ohana throughout my community which never fails to bring a smile to my face. Living in such a beautiful place, however, does have some downsides. The cost of living in Hawaii is very expensive but being surrounded by the lush greenery, mountains, and beaches I feel very lucky to call Honolulu my home.
I love Honolulu for so many reasons but the primary one is its collectivist nature. Being of South Asian descent, it is within my own values to emphasize collectivism which means looking at your community as a machine that functions together. Rather than mainstream American culture of individualism meaning every man for himself. I love being able to care for my neighbors as if they are my family with the same attitude reciprocated. Overall I have always felt safe here and it will always be my home.
