This may be a dumb question, but what is the deal with those cable prices? Are there multiple internet providers on Oahu? I haven't lived in the US for a while but I don't recall it being that expensive.
It's pretty much that expensive in any decent sized metro in the US. $120-$140 for a standard speed internet connection + HD package is pretty typical everywhere. I think you can get basic cable (no box, no HD, limited channels) and internet for about $85-$90/mo but I'm not sure. Don't even consider satellite unless you enjoy your tv going out every time it rains heavy.
I asked around and most folks seemed to like Kalani High School as far as public schools on Oahu goes, so that means you'd probably want to live somewhere near there. I think that might be Kaimuki which is a nice family sort of area. Aina Haina would also probably be in that school district, another nice enough area.

Kaimuki has it's own high school, Kaimuki. Kahala and Aina Haina are zoned to Kalani.
Kaimuki is a nice neighborhood. It has an absolutely great wine and poke shop....the two necessities of life in Hawai'i....I've spent far too much money at that location. More concrete in Kaimuki than I like, however it is an neighborhood incredibly convenient to central and eastern Honolulu.

Not true! The zones for Kaimuki and Kalani changed, but I don't remember when. I do know that Kaimuki HS's zone extended all the way to about 20th Ave at one time. The Kaimuki neighborhood border on the west is roughly 6th Ave, which turns into Alohea as you head towards KCC. If you live on 6th Ave or Alohea, you are pretty much in the Kalani HS district. Kaimuki's zone includes the neighborhoods of Kapahulu, Palolo, Mo'ili'ili and parts of Waikiki.

I live in Kaimuki and it's quite safe. We have A LOT of old houses in need of repair, tho. Many of them are occupied by elderly folks. Over the last several years, quite a few of these houses have been renovated or torn down with a new house going up. The same thing seems to be happening in Kapahulu. I like living in Kaimuki because it's pretty close to where I work, has lots of restaurants and Tamura's, the wine and poke store, is walking distance. I think I have spent more than 25K at that store.
Huh? I don't understand, Honobob. Where is there not local culture in HI?
Waikiki? I don't know. Ask Kaimuki. I think he is the expert on all things local.
