I prefer the same view except in 2015.
It's much more colorful!
Yeah i was also not excited about the black & white pictures, but then again i realised that finding old pictures of old places of Oahu and hawaii are kind of difficult. Its looking at things in a different way.
I like this series, sometimes it gives you historical information you didn't know. Sure i could tell you what i know historically about alot of neighborhoods but i believe these videos do a better job and no typeing errors either enjoy.

Pauoa Valley is indeed a gem. It's the only single family residential neighborhood on Oahu that's within easy walking distance to downtown. It's so quiet and beautiful with old-Hawaii charm that you would never think it's literally a stone's throw away from the hustle and bustle of the urban core.
If it wasn't for tourist and the military. People would be unemployed and on welfare. Although all toursim isn't good. Hawaii is not an early adopter of new things because the people in power want to remain in control.

The comparison between the Hawaii and Mississippi political and power classses is almost identical, and both states have eerily simular problems because of it.

I hear what your saying and you probably know what my view is? My point has never been about how new shining things are not cool, sometimes they are. But sometimes they are not the best things for everyone. I can only speak for myself and my experiences and what others who experienced the same things i did say. And that is we remember a time in Oahu when a single mother working a tourism job fulltime could afford to live in an condo in Kaka'ako and put her son in one year of private school etc. When locals could work a regular 9 to 5 and support there ohanas. We remember a time in waikiki and honolulu where one can almost have no money but can be entertained(no talking beach or nature). Of course everything changes with time but its important to
remember that there was a time when there was a balance between old local hawaii and big money. I was fortunate to be about the last generation to experience this balance in Honolulu as the new Hawaii state bird (da construction cranes) in da 70s startted building new skyrises but there was plenty of old local hawaii in the business and lifestyles and attitudes of people living in Honolulu a good balance and it was still gorgeous. Today (and this is just my opinion) that the love of money has upset this balance between Hawaii(as in local, multi cultural etc) and Big Money. Restore the balance and alot of the society problems will go away.

If you follow hawaii history it has never really been about racism as its been about classism. And it still exists today as it did back in the plantation days in Hawaii.

Do you have any data that supports that position.
In 1970, less than half of the households owned a home. Therefore, most had to rent.
In 2014, 57.6% of the households - which is much higher, own homes.
Hawaii has some of the highest millionaire households, 7% of households are millionaire households excluding the value of real estate and retirement.
