all examples of price increases in that article, I could easily apply to my groceries, clothes, marketplace health insurance, restaurants, pet care costs and just about everything I buy everyday (surprisingly price of gasoline has been somewhat of an exception). In 2021 while i was consulting my monthly health insurance via NYS marketplace was $405/mo, the one I just got was $629/mo

So yeah... If what that article about "pricing out middle-class" is true, how about we increase its scope beyond Hawaii.

Let's just go ahead and say middle-class (and how about everyone who middle-class believes is below them) is priced out of life in general, including that Hawaii vacation.

You are right. I posted this partially because I live on Kauai, am working on a solution, and just to see what others thought.

This is definitely bigger than just Hawaii.

This makes it sound you consider it a problem.

IMHO, less tourism is almost always a positive.

The problem I'm solving isn't just relating to tourism. It's much bigger and beyond Hawaii too. This is just the perfect place to test what I'm building.
