Roger says on the North Shore, but he thinks it's not working

A few things:

More than one-third of the world's commercial supply of pineapples comes from Hawaii.

I thought Dole had already shut down pineapple production on the islands?

There are four counties in Hawaii (Kauai; city and county of Honolulu; Maui; and Hawaii).

Five actually: Kalawao County is where the leper colony on Molokai is located. It's not part of Maui County like the rest of the island. It's the smallest county in the US by land area and also the second-least populated county in the entire US (the least is somewhere in Texas).

Juneau is the only capital city in the United States accessible only by boat or plane.

If their definition of "accessible" means you can drive there from most anywhere else in the state, or from other states, they forgot one rather obvious example: Honolulu.

They can't count the NW Hawaiians as they are not part of the state.

According to Wikipedia, not only are they part of the state, but they (except for Midway) are administered by the City and County of Honolulu.

Even so they still are not "wider" are they?
Honolulu is accessible via road to 80% of the population, Id say that counts.
