Ma muli o nā helu hou mai ka San Francisco Convention & Visitors Bureau, ua hoʻopuka ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi i kahi moʻolelo he $8.2 biliona ma ke kūlanakauhale ma ka Bay i ka makahiki i hala, he 6.2 pakeneka ʻoi aku ma mua o ka makahiki 2006. Ma ke ʻano holoʻokoʻa, piʻi ka mākaʻikaʻi i 2.4 pakeneka i ka makahiki 2007 i 16.1 miliona mau malihini.
Ua piʻi aʻe ka nui o ka noho ʻana o ka hōkele a hiki i ka 79 pakeneka, e like me ka PKF Consulting, me ka nui o ka lumi lumi i kēlā me kēia lā he $181, a ʻo ka pelekikena a me ka Luna Nui o ka Bureau Joe D'Alessandro i ʻōlelo ʻia he "ʻoihana koʻikoʻi o Kapalakiko."
Mahalo iā ʻoe, e hāʻule ana ke kālā. Hoʻowalewale ʻia nā haole ma ʻaneʻi no ka mea hiki i kā lākou kālā ke kūʻai hou aku.
Eia kekahi, ʻo ke kukui ʻōmaʻomaʻo i ka male kāne like ʻole i ka pule i hala he pōmaikaʻi ʻē aʻe no ka ʻoihana, a hiki i Nowemapa.
Hiki i nā male kāne like ke loaʻa i $683.6 miliona ka loaʻa kālā no ka hoʻokele waiwai o Kaleponi i nā makahiki ʻekolu e hiki mai ana, e like me ka Williams Institute on Sexual Orientation Law and Public Policy ma UCLA School of Law.
Wahi a ka moʻolelo i kapa ʻia ʻo "The Bliss of Newlyweds: Same-Sex Marriages Boost California, ʻo ke kumu nūhou ʻo Women's Wear Daily: "Ua ʻike ʻia he maikaʻi ka male kāne male no ka ʻoihana. Nā hale kūʻai” mai Iune 18.
Ua haʻi ka moʻolelo iā Manika Jewelry ma Maiden Lane, nona ka mea nona ka ʻōlelo ʻo ka piʻi ʻana o ka ʻoihana "ʻike maopopo ʻia" e like me ke kūʻai ʻana o nā kāne kāne i nā apo. A ʻo ka mea nona ka hale kūʻai waina ʻo Ver Unica ma Hayes Valley, e hōʻike ana i kahi kāne male male ma ka puka makani, e hoʻomanaʻo ana he maikaʻi ka ʻoihana i ka wā i ʻae ʻia ai ka male male kāne ma 2004.
ʻO nā kāne kāne, bi a pololei, kūlanakauhale a i ʻole City Hall-bound, ke hāʻawi nei nā mākaʻikaʻi iā Kapalakiko. He kiʻi nani. ʻAʻole haʻalele ʻia nā hale ʻai a me nā salona i nā hopena pule. ʻAʻole e hoʻopololei ka poʻe Bartenders ma luna o nā helu ʻālohilohi, e ʻike maka ʻia mai ka margaritas i hui pū ʻia iā ia iho e hōʻoluʻolu i ka ʻeha o ka ipu ʻāʻī. Ua ʻōlelo ka Convention & Visitors Bureau ua ulu nā hana pili i ka mākaʻikaʻi ma luna o 5% i ka makahiki i hala, me ka uku makahiki he $1.95 biliona. A hiki i kekahi ke noʻonoʻo e pili ana i ka hopena i ka home ʻole.
Akā, hiki anei i ka hoʻokomo ʻana o Lonely Planets a me kā lākou mau mea like ʻole ke loaʻa i kahi ʻōpua? ʻO ka mea hoʻokahi, ʻo ke kau ʻana i ke koʻikoʻi ma ka palapala ʻāina hiki ke hoʻoulu i ka manaʻo mehana a me ka huʻihuʻi o ka snobbishness, ka polarization i loko o "mākou a me lākou."
E lawe i ka New York's Times Square, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi e pale ʻia. Hoʻopaʻa ʻia e ka poʻe malihini i nā pālule nui a me nā pāpale baseball, ka lehelehe manamana lima ma Sephora a me ka hana ʻana i nā hoʻohālike ʻeha o Robert DeNiro. Hoʻohui hewa ʻole ka nui o nā mea lawelawe i ka 15% i ka papa ʻaina a nā haole, no ka mea, manaʻo lākou, ʻo ka poʻe ʻEulopa ka lokomaikaʻi o kahi kumu lāʻau i ka wā e hiki mai ana i ka tipping. ʻO ka mākaʻikaʻi ka iwi kuamoʻo o ka hoʻokele waiwai o New York City, akā ʻo ka poʻe i noho ma laila no hoʻokahi mahina e hoʻomohala i kēia ʻano haʻaheo, "Me he mea lā no New Jersey ʻoe a ke hoʻoikaika nei ʻoe iaʻu".
ʻAʻole i loaʻa iā mākou ka pae kōmike o NYC, akā he ʻano ʻano ʻano like ʻole ma aneʻi? I kēia mau lā ua ʻike au i kekahi kanaka ma ka ʻiʻo Haight mai lalo o kahi pahu kiʻi mākaʻikaʻi. Ua ʻōhumu ʻo ia: "ʻAe, manaʻo wau ʻaʻole wau e noho hou i Kapalakiko." ʻAʻole ʻo ia wale nō ke kamaʻāina huhū ʻole, ʻo kēlā me kēia ʻano "local". E ho'āʻo i ke alanui Powell i ka hopena pule.
Malia paha he huāhuhi mākaʻikaʻi i ka hāʻule ʻana o ka hoʻokele waiwai o ʻAmelika. He mau galani kinoea ka mamao o Tahoe. E kūʻai aku kāu kālā iā ʻoe i kahi moena moe ma kahi hale hoʻokipa ma Lākana me nā paia kekee, nā ʻoihana i loko a me nā pahu moe. ʻO ka hoʻomaha hoʻomaha ma Iapana e uku nui ʻia nā sublets (i ka manawa hoʻokahi). Ke ulu nei kāu ʻeke ʻeke 60-lita i ka pala. A ʻaʻole ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka piʻi ʻana o ke ala maʻamau Kaleponi-Hawaii ma 50% mai ia manawa Aloha Ua piʻi ka ʻōpū o nā mokulele.
ʻO ka piʻi ʻana o ka mākaʻikaʻi ʻo Kapalakiko, ua like ia me ka nānā ʻana ma ka peephole e like me ka loaʻa ʻana o kekahi koholā ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻaʻole iā ʻoe.
Boo hoo. E hele mua, e haku i ke kapena lele, e wehe i kou keena noho nui loa no ka noho heenalu i na haumana hoololi Suedena, a i ole e haawi i na kuhikuhi no ka uku ma ke ano he mime ma Fisherman's Wharf.
A i ʻole e noʻonoʻo i ka mākaʻikaʻi kūloko. ʻO Angela Jackson, ka luna hoʻomalu o ka Public Relations ma ka Convention and Visitors Bureau, e hoʻohālikelike ana i ka maʻi cabin ma ke ʻano he "stay-cation," e hoʻomaikaʻi ana i nā hanana noʻeau a me ka moʻomeheu a puni ke kūlanakauhale.
A inā ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka pōʻino, e ʻoliʻoli wale i kēlā manaʻo hoʻokiʻekiʻe e ʻākoakoa nei ka poʻe ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa e hoʻomaikaʻi iā ʻoe, ʻoiai ʻoe e hoʻokele nei e noho ma kahi āu i hāʻule ai kou puʻuwai. ʻAhhhh…
