There is no doubt they will be opening more business and housing when the 78 comes. Look at NYC. Chinatown in Manhattan is next to Soho, near East Village, etc. These are extremely gentrified places and yet Chinatown hasn't shrunk. It's expanded. Flushing has like 6 20+ story high rises being built right now..and the people who live in the ones already completed are not only Asian. But the developers are smart as hell to get Chinese or Korean business to sign onto lease so the culture is preserved at street level still.
BTW, that one company in Chicago has a big minority share holder from Flushing who is developing tons of stuff there right now. So..you know. I can't see that they'll just disregard the 78. This is $$$ .. They are not going to complain like people in other neighborhoods. They will be the ones building stuff. I guarantee this will happen as long as the 78 happens and gets people working there.
