I receive a monthly subscription to a parenting magazine. Their July issue had an article titled 'Top 10 Cities to Raise Your Family.' The following is the information about their #7 pick:
“#7 Honolulu, Hawaii – This tropical paradise is much more than just the center of Hawaiian culture, theater, and music. Clean air, loads of sun and surf, and state obesity rates well below the national average add up to a seriously healthy city for raising a family. The strong economy here is powered by tourism, the military, defense contracting, and real estate, resulting in a practically nonexistent unemployment rate, the lowest property taxes on our list, and an easy under 23-minute commute. Fourteen public schools have received the Department of Education Blue Ribbon School Designation for Excellence, and Honolulu had the lowest crime rate of our ten winners.”
Seems convincing enough and only more of a reason to pack up the kids and hit the dusty trail. But seriously, I will live in Hawaii one day. Really.
