From Paradise to the Desert - When Native Hawaiians Move to Las Vegas

So I came across this article the other day, entitled, “Native Hawaiians Flock to Las Vegas for affordable living”.  And while Vegas is considered by many in Hawaii to be the “Ninth Island”, this article had little to do with visiting the casinos and more to do about the realities of why local families, particularly Native Hawaiian families, are leaving for the Mainland.  From cost of living to housing to quality of life improvements, the article mentioned a lot of reasons why locals in Hawaii would find Las Vegas a better place to live.  But is it?  I guess that depends.  So I wanted to go over the article and share some of my thoughts as a local in Hawaii.
