Number 4 in Arcadia
A Taiwanese friend of mine had his warehouse address changed for his unit #, it used to have a 4 in it.
Superstition prompts Arcadia City Council to weigh taking address change requests again - SG Tribune
Arcadia, California due to its good school system has a large Chinese population.
For Chinese the rankings for schools in LA County basically are:
San Marino
Arcadia
Walnut/Diamond Bar
Rowland High School/ Wilson (Hacienda Heights)
And this is reflected in the housing prices...
The number 4 in Mandarin Chinese and Japanese has the same sound as death. Which is why in Japan you can get a discount on an apartment with the number 4 in it :-)
