Well i'm guessing you are very young and dumb or something you don't know what the hell your talking about!
There are MANY errors in your claims! obviously you have never been to Honolulu!
you say Miami is tropical (while it may have a climate that can basically be considered tropical it is not truly a tropical area and is subtropical but VERY close)
You say Hilo which yes is tropical but is not a "TRUE" city it has a population of only 40,000
You say Honolulu but you are hesitant to put it up because you think it might not be tropical! Are you nuts Honolulu is more Tropical than Rio and much more first world. Honolulu is more tropical than Singapore as well. or even Hilo! You obviously don't know what you are talking about at all.
Look on a map on Where the tropics of capricorn and cancer are located. Anything within those lines is in the tropics.
You can't get more tropical than Singapore, it's almost on the equator. Just how is Honolulu 'more' tropical than Singapore?
I don't see the point arguing which places are tropical or which places are more tropical than the other. All you have to do is look at a climate map and you have an answer.
actually Azores is subtropical, being far north of the Tropic of Cancer. Mauritius is on the verge of being First World if not already (classed as an upper middle income economy by the World Bank back in 2011) thanks to its rapid growth in tourism, sugar, textile making, fishing fleets, IT and financial services, and renewable energy.
Also the Seychelles (GDP per capita $23,000) that relies on tourism, fish processing and computer production.
Equatorial Guinea has $36,000 per capita - but it's newfound oil wealth is very marginalised in the spread of wealth and often racked with attempted coups by outsiders including Margaret Thatcher's son and mercenary officer, Simon Mann. Half it's population has no access to clean water and 20% of it's children die before the age of 5.
Darwin, Australia has a "Tropical Savanna" climate. I grant that's not one of the tropical climates wanted, hence debate on including Honolulu, but it is a tropical kind of climate.
Kaohsiung, Taiwan also has a "Tropical Savanna" climate. As it has over 2 million people it might be more what's desired except for having a dry season.
Tropical Savannah is tropical, just like tropical rainforest.
Tropical Savannah is tropical, just like tropical rainforest.
A lot of people from non tropical/non subtropical climates seem to have misconceptions on what a tropical climate should be like. Probably something along the lines of lush and green, but somehow sunny all the time.
Probably only a few.. Honolulu, Darwin.. although these cities in 1st world countries seem to be less 1st world than other cities in their respective countries

Yep, anyone who's been in Darwin during the wet monsoon season would be pretty certain its a tropical climate.
