NEW YORK (1010 WINS) – New York and Hawaii may be a world apart, but the two states face very similar issues when it in comes to the socio-political issues of gentrification and housing.
The same way New Yorkers are slowly being displaced from their long-term neighborhoods because of rent hikes, Hawaiian natives are also being priced out of their homes and forced to flock elsewhere due to local economic issues.
Today, about half of all Native Hawaiians live outside of Hawaii. As a result, those born and raised in Hawaii are struggling to keep their culture alive in the diaspora.
To wrap up Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, in this very special In Depth Podcast, 1010 WINS takes a closer look at the Native Hawaiian community in New York City.
Listen as host Jill Webb unearths the issues that made some natives feel like they had to leave and learn why there truly is no place like home for the displaced.
