The urban Chinatowns in San Francisco, New York and Philadelphia are relics of the past where racism played a large role in where Asian entrepreneurs could set up shop. Now that those barriers are gone, those little asian grocery stores are being replaced with massive strip centers just like the mom and pop grocery stores got wiped out by HEB, Krogers and Walmart.

I'd love for us to have an urban Chinatown, but considering how spread out the Asian population in SA is, its really just not practical. I'd much rather have a bustling shopping center out by 1604 or 410 than a dead Chinatown near downtown that would soon be replaced by cheap taco joints.
