I was out of Hawaii last year but will be returning soon.
I saw on the news that Hawaii is likely to be
very hot this year due to the Super El Nino. I saw on the news that
was last summer cool as usual ？?

It is quite comfortable compared to Japan.
It is not too humid and you will not get heat stroke like in Japan.
It is not too dry like the mainland and not humid like Japan.

It depends on where you live in Hawaii and what kind of building you live in, but
Even in May, the mornings and evenings are cool and comfortable.
In summer in Japan, you cannot go out without a handkerchief, but in Hawaii, you can go out without a handkerchief.

We are on a high floor in the Ala Moana/Ward area and it is so breezy and cold at night that I still sleep with the windows closed.
I have lived here for 8 years and not once have I needed an air conditioner or a fan.
The location of the house （ Is it a dense condo where you can see the whole neighborhood around you ） or is the room facing east or west （ I heard that on the west side, it is hot in the summer even after 9 pm due to the sunset sun ）, I think it depends on the floor of the room.

I used to live in Torrance a long time ago and there used to be a beauty parlor called Fathalia in Hawthone bld. I wonder if they are still in business today. ？ The owner of the salon and I were good friends, but when I sent a message to his old email address, I couldn't reach him because the provider itself is no longer in business. I tried to call FASARIA, but the automated voice mail was not working at all. Please let me know if you know whether FASARIA is working or not. Please let me know ！

Maybe it's because it's spring, but it seems like there are a lot of stores opening and closing these days. I want to know what kind of stores will open in my hometown, and I want to go and say thank you to my favorite stores before they close ！

Hawaii is tied for 4th with California.
It has $191,000 in the middle class and $64,000 in the lower income bracket.
You can imagine that Hawaii has a tremendous higher income class than New York.

＃ To 2anon
＞ Middle (中間) means Average.

I know you don't understand what Topi means at all, because you don't understand Middle and Average either.
I guess he also doesn't understand that the median is not the mean,
it's just a data graph of the middle class in 2025,
he doesn't understand even if I kindly calculate and tell him the median,
he doesn't understand anymore, so I think it's okay to ignore him.

I'm surprised Massachusetts is #1.
It's amazing that you have to make over $200,000 to be upper class ！ ！.

Annual middle class income in Hawaii in 2025 depends on several studies and definitions.
Here are data from several sources.

SmartAsset (survey for 2025):

Annual Income Range: approx $ 63,542 ～ $ 190,644
Visual Capitalist (based on SmartAsset data )}:

Annual Income Range: $ 63,542 ～ $ 190,644
Newsweek (based on SmartAsset data):

Annual Income Range: $ 63,542 $ 190,644
These studies define the middle class range as "two-thirds to twice the state median household income."
Given Hawaii's high cost of living, the middle class income range is also high.

I had a $250,000 annual income when I lived in NY and never felt like a high income earner.
Now I've lived in Hawaii for 10 years and only make $150,000 a year, but it's a lot easier there.

What I think makes the difference is that property taxes and HOAs are incredibly cheap in Hawaii.

Ten years ago in NY, we paid $25,000/year in property taxes and $2,400/month in HOA fees (not including electricity, gas, and telecom ）.
Monthly payment of approximately $4,500

Currently in Hawaii, annual property tax of $1,200 and HOA Fee of $1,400 per month(Electricity、Gas、Communications included ）.
Monthly payment of $1,500

Taxes and HOA can go up but not down, so this is a big difference.

New Jersey and Massachusetts seem to be in the same building
I used to live in NJ and the cost of living was definitely cheaper.

Property Taxes are not as high as in some places where school taxes are tens of thousands of dollars at the school district level,
Gasoline was cheaper, groceries (except luxury items ） Clothing and shoes are tax free and NJ was easy to live in.
NJ has different sales tax rates for different counties, so I sometimes went to the city with the lowest sales tax to buy electrical appliances.

NYC has a city tax, so many people lived in NJ and commuted to NYC.

NJ was nice,,

#17 Dear New Jersey

Since school taxes make up a large percentage of property taxes,
Hawaii may be best taxed without school taxes.

Kakaako has a large percentage of out-of-state residents, so the legislature is considering whether to introduce a school tax.

There has been a protest against the conversion of 2-3 tennis court spaces at Ala Moana Beach Park into dedicated pickleball courts.
Pickleball's reasons are that "tennis is becoming less popular" and "I don't see anyone using the tennis courts". However, the courts at Ala Moana Beach Park are the busiest tennis courts in Honolulu. There is no reason why you would not see people using the courts, unless it is raining or there is a storm.
Pickleball is very popular and I enjoy playing pickleball myself. New pickleball courts are popping up in Kakaako, Manoa, Hawaii Kai, and Kehi, which is great. However, I strongly oppose this protest because I think it is not right to take away the place to play other sports. I think it would be better if a new pickleball court was built in Ala Moana Park.

I thought it might be a good idea to ask for help here, but I wanted to post this to let as many people as possible know about it.
If you are a tennis player or have played tennis at Ala Moana courts, I would appreciate it if you could support me from the link below. Thank you in advance.

Hello
I am a resident of Las Vegas.
I am planning to visit the Consulate General of San Francisco
to renew my passport.
I think the area near the Consulate General is convenient and good if it is safe
I hear that downtown San Francisco is very dangerous these days.
Should we stay at a hotel near Fisherman's Wharf? ？
What hotels do you recommend to your friends?
I am not sure about the balance between the security of San Francisco and the cost of lodging.
We are looking to spend ＄ less than 400, but
＄ 200, ＄ even 100 would be better if it is a safe place to go out.

I would appreciate hearing from you.

Thank you very much.

Thanks for the reply.
The Consulate of San Francisco has jurisdiction over Nevada.
Last year it was not Corona related, but every year the people at the San Francisco Consulate
would travel to Las Vegas to provide processing services.
I thought that Vegas residents had to be in San Francisco, but
maybe the consulate in LA can do it ？
I'll ask next time.

The jurisdiction for Nevada appears to be the San Francisco Consulate.
If you can spare the time, consular travel service to Las Vegas is scheduled.

8% annual interest rate, no taxes to pay.
I've been getting solicited from many places recently to move all my savings to a bank in the U.S. ？
I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but I'm sure I'll be able to get a good deal.

If you listen carefully,

only Japanese can open an account.
Residents of the U.S. cannot open an account.
It seems to be that.
Why can't US residents open an account even though the bank is in the US ？
I wonder.

Anyone who has been solicited or knows this information
would like to share information ？?
