Survey: Growing number of Hawaii residents feel state moving in wrong direction

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – A new survey shows an increasing number of Hawaii residents feel the state is moving in the wrong direction.

The Pacific Resource Partnership launched its first Hawaii Perspectives report back in 2019 with 45% of respondents saying the state is on the wrong track.

Five years later, more than half of respondents now share that feeling.

“It’s really frightening at least for me personally having a young family and knowing that my daughter growing up will face very similar issues that we see captured in the research,” said PRP interim executive director Josh Magno.

“For the organization and for myself, it’s really trying to work with other partners in the community to really find positive solutions.”

The major issues driving that negative feeling are familiar ones with 75% of respondents citing affordable housing, cost of living, and homelessness as their key concerns.
