Why move to Hawaii?
So you're thinking about Hawaii. The strongest arguments for it are around coastal access without flying for it and you can essentially skip winter. Detail on each below.
Coastal access without flying for it
Living in Hawaii puts an entire archipelago of Pacific coastline within driving range of most of the state. The practical upshot: weekend beach trips, easier access to seafood that hasn't been on a truck for a week, and a milder climate near the coast than the same latitude would have inland.
You can essentially skip winter
Living in Hawaii means a light jacket is the most you'll need most days of the year. Outdoor life keeps going through what would be the coldest months elsewhere, heating bills stay low, and beach or outdoor plans aren't seasonal.
Reasons reflect aggregated city data for Hawaii (Census ACS, BLS, BEA) plus well-known state-level geography. We only list points that are actually supported — different states show different sections.
