"You know...you are the third person to say you leaving..."
"People leaving left and right taking money earned from house sales, going to Vegas for jobs..."
" My son left last month for the mainland. He didnt want to work three jobs to feed his kids... One job with time and money left over..."
"Speculation! That is what is our land and running people out of their homes! How do we stop this before all of our kamaaina move to the mainland? Our town will be deserted, How will we live with prices going up and up???? Cant those stupid people on the Mainland quit talking about it on TV?
"You are doing the right thing...Go now, sell out now"
"Get out! Get out before the have nots attack the haves..." I think this is very scary, because I know that the resentment is building here. It wont be long before fist fights break out...
These are some of the comments that we hear as we near the end of our time here on the Big Island... Yours truly, the Pineapple Princess is still pouting and was crying today cant seem to get a grip for if those unsolicited comments are not enought to get me moving nothing else will. I think it was seeing the empty house and the kitties not happy with the changes in their lives... Maybe its Woodies glee at getting out of here and being able to eat in 5 star resturants again...
In the Company of Strangers you get the truth unvarnished... We are unwelcome and need to go...
