I mean really, can we put a monetary value on living in Hawaii, the closest place to paradise?

Of course we can, because it is the every day dollar n' cents reality we all experience living here. We should urge our politicians to change the Jones Act, the monopoly of HECO, and stop the increasing property taxes on residents, while our wages are stagnant.

Most of all, we should encourage everyone to buy local, produce what we consume, and invest in Hawaii. Any other suggestions?
