This doesn't surprise me, the governor of Hawaii is very big on business and growth, and has been working very hard to turn Honolulu into a small silicon valley. I don't think this is necessarily the right way to do it though. Remote workers have jobs outside Hawaii so basically you're just flying in mainlanders to price out even more struggling locals.

> Hawaii is offering to pay for round trip flights to Oahu for a select group of US remote workers willing to relocate temporarily. Looks like it's only temporary relocation, so presumably workers would be residing in hotels or other locations typically occupied by tourists, rather than dislocating permanent residents.
