Can you arrive at Hawii for $150 and then live on $3 per day with free health care? (Volcano: pricing, moving)

There are some plane tickets under $200 from California; now once you get to Hawaii, that's a different proposition.

Yep, Allegiant Air, $197 roundtrip depending on date/city pair.

Wow, from which city in California?

[whtviper1]

I know you can do it from Stockton in January.

Why would anyone who is homeless want to leave Stockton in January?

[MovingAloha]

You can fly from San Diego as well for $197!!

I'm not sure of the purpose of the OP, there is not a question.

But sure, you can live in Hawaii on the cheap, if you are willing to be homeless, eat at soup kitchens, collect empty bottles/cans for spare change, have minimal medical/dental care, etc.

THANKFULLY there are services in place to help many of the mentally ill homeless people, and services to help the economy-caused homeless to re-enter "regular" housing, and programs to cover basic medical needs of the uninsured, etc. That is the intent of our tax dollars for social services.

But those are different situations from lazy misfits just want to live cheaply off the taxpayers dollars, and think Hawaii sounds pretty and warm so head here: they are not welcomed.

Pack my Don Ho records and my surfboard momma.

I'm on my way to to the island paradise.

The qualifications for residency, as stated in the above quote, fit me to a T

I think Volcano, on the Big Island, is just the spot for you. Go West (and South) young man. You will be greeted with open arms!!!
