Renovation Aloha

I like this show but I want to know what type of jobs do Hawaiian people have to afford these homes? They say many times they do the renovations for the local. And why does anyone pay almost a million dollars for these dumps.

Most of the renovation designs are alright. I don't understand why anyone would put in a big beautiful kitchen island then ruin it with putting in a sink or stove top.

The other design I'm not crazy about is wet bathrooms. Who wants to take a shower and get water all over the soaker tub, then have to clean the whole area? I guess with what you pay for the houses you hire a housekeeper.
