The Changing Face Of America's Chinatowns - NPR
Thoughts:
- Kids who grew up here and went to college, are moving to the suburbs (like Flushing).
- Chinatowns continue to attract more recent immigrants.
- I question how many residents of Chinatown are "Sea Turtles"
- Cost in the Chinatowns is making them less attractive for living.
- Suburban Chinatowns offer jobs and services which traditionally were only found in the urban Chinatowns. I live in Rowland Heights, a surburban Chinatown with my in-laws, and we rarely visit the LA Chinatown. Our Chinese restaurants are as good, or better than anything in Chinatown. We have 5 Chinese supermarkets within 2 miles of my house. And its a nicer place to live and do business.
