Chapter 18-Honolulu

Honolulu is not located on the island of Kauai, but it reigns supreme of Hawaii.  Over 72% of the state's residents and 80% of the economy are concentrated in the city and its suburbs.  Mountains, ocean, and held land have crowded Honolulu into a series of narrow valleys and a fringe along the coast.  Living costs in Honolulu are nearly 20% about the national average.  The area is also congested with traffic because of the high density of settlement and the layout.  Despite Honolulu being a destination of paradise, it is definitely an established city with its own set of problems and attractions.
