Most of the violence and oppression gets exported, so it's probably best to just sit tight here in the heart of the empire.
If I were to stay in the U.S., I'd probably go to Hawaii, probably Maui or Lanai.
Hawai'i will be a main base of operations for strategic command and targeted as a result. The islands are crawling with the US military and then there is the naval installation at Pearl Harbor. If I had to go with an island in the chain though, I would choose Moloka'i. That is if the locals would have me. They are more self sustaining there.
I recommend against Hawaii. It's not exactly self sustaining since there are too many people living there. Housing/rent is crazy high so there are many homeless. Everything is much more expensive. Jobs can be hard to find. The islands are sinking. Storms still hit every season. Depending on the island, you may be dealing with volcanic eruptions and vog. And I do believe their coral reefs are bleaching. It sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. Then factor in the locals, they only want locals living there and to restore their Hawaiian Kingdom, #GoHomeHaole. Best to pick somewhere else.
Oh I agree. I don't belong there being the primary reason I wouldn't, among others you listed. I love it there and I have long term generational personal connections, but out of respect, I would not choose to live there. Aloha I ko'u 'Ohana.
There are no military bases on maui. Just a few armories and a small national guard station.
