It has gotten no better since. The poor are pushed further away and in many cases off the island disrupting the extended families that are common. It would be worse if the wealthy did not need bus boys and janitors. They are rapidly becoming the isles of privilege.

The interesting part is that it is not just the poor who are leaving. Checkout where your high school classmates are living on a percentage basis. How many Punahou/Iolani grads stayed there? What about Kaimuki or Kalihi? Even the children of the well to do are bailing out.
