No. That's simply a fiction,
A person who owns a home will know what is right for his house as opposed to a renter.
Why? Because he owns, he has an investment in it.
A local person has an investment in Hawaii because they are from here.
A person from elsewhere does not.
That person can pick up and leave.
A local can leave as well but their roots are always here.
The idea that people from any part of the country or the would have a say in what happens in a specific community is rejected by any group of people in any community. People anywhere believe the needs of the community come before the needs of interlopers and outsiders.
Its not the way any community in the US works and certainly not the way Hawaii works. Therefore, your own thinking is myopic not to mention illogical and untenable.
