I haven't been to Costa Rica but from the people I know who have, they prefer Hawaii. And of course, Hawaii will always be my top choice. It's the absolute best place to live in my opinion.
Yes, it's expensive but it just depends on where you want to live there. A modern home for 5,000 sq. ft. will be well into the millions but again it depends on where. A house on the Big Island, will probably be on average a little cheaper than a house on Oahu. But there's give and take for that. Oahu is the center of activity in Hawaii and has the most people there. In contrast, an island like Kauai is very laid back and has really nice areas and inexpensive areas but like anywhere, it comes down to the neighborhood.
It rains just about everyday in Hawaii in the mountain ranges but there are areas that don't get a lot of rain. All the West side island areas are typically very dry while the South being dry for the most part with occasional showers excluding any storms. And the North and East sides tend to be a lot more lush and get passing showers. But being in the middle of the ocean, the weather can be volatile with wind and rain. But at least it's warm and beautiful
I don't know what it is about Hawaii but as soon as I get off the plane there (on Oahu), I immediately feel relaxed. The nice warm air hits you and you immediately see the beauty of the sky, mountains and ocean. The air is clean, no smog provided there's the trade winds blowing. I will say that when there's wind from the west, Vog (Volcanic fog) can fill in and make it look ugly which is fairly rare. But in general, the trade winds blow and it's really nice.
