So not to beat a dead horse, but curious if this could happen for the facilities in HI (HCF, ITO, OGG). Our locality has continued to fall below cheaper COL areas on the mainland; while our COLA quietly decreases. COL keeps skyrocketing out here, and 30%(or more) of your gross pay as a CPC goes to just a place to live. There is no shortage of renters and unfortunately the Lahaina fires continue to impact all the islands. I don't know how our next AG will make ends meet if they are not living with family.
Price of paradise as they say, but I'll live in a tent at the tower if that's what it takes!
