Hello BP world I want to start by reintroducing myself, my name is Asia.

My personal goal and current target at this given moment is to own a quite a few multiplexes, eventually graduating to apartment complexes, and then high-rises across the US, Asia, Africa, Latin America, & Europe within a 10-20 year time-frame.

There are just as nice or nicer nature spots through the U.S. without the traffic and high taxes.I personally think Hawaii's weather trump's CA's left front and center.California's surf breaks are too small and not enough, whereas Hawaii is world class.I also don't want to drive 45 minutes to go to a hike with a decent view, when I can drive 5 minutes in Hawaii.Also, I personally enjoy travel to Asia (easier from HI) than Europe (easier from CA), and not by a small margin.Way more upsides and way less homeless people in Hawaii (than what the posters in this thread described about LA and SF).I can walk 4 minutes to the beach with surfboard in hand in many parts of Oahu.

A lot of property on the west coast of the USA and Canada is owned by folks from Asia, who don't care about return; they just want the money out of their country. 

Thanks in advance, Asia

People have and are being slaughtered in parts of Asia, Africa and we don't do anything.
