Ok I have a question. Where does the government get you guys with taxes? I see that property tax is almost nothing, compared to Seattle, I pay over $6000 a year just in property taxes. So they must get you somehow. They always do. What is your sales tax? Ours is 8.8%.

 

sales tax that you'll pay for retail on Oahu is 4.712...all other islands 4.166 %

 

Eva is kinda getto, BUT there are new houses and stuff..plus alot of people live in eva and only one way in and one way out ..its a bitch..TRAFFIC is MOST horrible there.

 

Unlike Washington there is a Hawaii income tax. We have a property tax and a general excise tax for sales.

 

you should really consider living in town or east of town. traffic from the west side is horriffic everyday except for sundays

 

^I can second that one...8 miles can take 40 minutes for me in the am, I know it's not as bad as for some but even out by the airport can be a pain!

OT: Sinful, your new quote rules!!

 

yup my wife takes 1 hr to go 5miles to downtown

at nite with no traffic it takes 5mins

 

it used to take me seven minutes to get to work in the am. starting tomorrow morning, we will see.

OP: i wouldn't live anywhere past Pearl city if you plan to work in town. if you find work in kapolei then definitely try to live out there. at the rate it's going, no-one from the west side needs to come to town except for upscale shopping, bars, real food, and the airport.

 

^probably won't take you that much longer since you leave at an ungodly hour anyway.
