  1. Isolated areas of heavy tourism always have structural issues. High cost of living, lower wages and a volatile economy. Tourism jobs aren't high paying jobs like big corporate jobs. (Graduated from University of Hawaii)

  2. 1M people live on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. 1500km^2 or about the size of Grand Canary Island. Never felt cramped when I lived there.

  3. lol, almost forgot that I moved to San Francisco after college. It's 121km^2 and has 800K population. That never felt cramped either. That's 1/10 the size of Grand Canary Island.

  4. @GNMi79 I grew up in the suburbs of Baltimore. While my town had a few big roads for commuting, the single family homes were pretty close together. Not that much different from Oahu. And, next neighborhood over was all rowhouses (townhomes stuck together made of brick).
