Chinatown- Houston Residents Have To Meet With HPD About Growing Crime Problem

Breh
Have you been to other chinatowns in the country ?

 

Houston is the most diverse big city in the US.

Asian town Katy is blown up, so the Asians with the lexuses and genesis g wagons are up there now. Pretty high end stuff and a huge h mart.
Less crime, suburbs.

this is the same for other parts of the country where the city Chinatown has created suburb chinatowns.

Houston Chinatown is much better than San Francisco Chinatown. People there will tell you to go to burbs like Milpitas or San Mateo . Cause that’s the natural migration of people with wealth

 

The differences between Chinatowns shows that Chinese Americans aren’t monolithic and that there are historical differences between Chinese communities depending on when they got here.

SF Chinatown exist because Chinese were not allowed to live anywhere else prior to the 1960’s they were restricted by things like Red Lining to Chinatown. For those who are fans of the show Warrior it touches on this when Chinese outside of Chinatown are harassed. SF Chinatown is a ghetto that is why it’s so packed and dense. Also the people there had limited economic opportunities.

SF Chinatown’s population is older but also is more originally from Southern China and Cantonese speakers.

The Chinese communities in the South Bay
In places like Cupertino and Milpitas are newer immigrants who for the most part came here after Civil Rights were passed and ethnic Chinese could live anywhere. They also generally came here already with a higher level education and weren’t restricted in their economic opportunities. Most of them are Mandarin speakers from Taiwan or the PRC. It’s no accident that they are more affluent than the older Chinese population who were restricted in where they could live and work.

In the Bay Area there’s another wrinkle to this. Cupertino has become heavily settled by people from Taiwan and the shopping mall Cupertino Village is basically a small Taipei. Milpitas has been settled more by people from the PRC and there the restaurants and stores cater more to “mainlanders”.

 

Yeah and the food is better than the overrated tourist trap in the city

Las Vegas has the best China town

 

Obviously not as bad as California where there’s racial tension for years

Plus I think the Houston Chinatown owners will get guns , it’s still Alief breh
Not exactly memorial or river oaks

Again , they built a second Chinatown in Katy so there’s less chance of crime

 

When I grew up in Houston over thirty years ago, a friend of my parents ran a convenience store in an urban neighborhood and the wife got shot in the neck during a robbery attempt. It made her voice high pitched and scratchy like a muppet character.

Not sure how we'll resolve uplifting poor neighborhoods and the endemic vicious cycle in those communities but it's not a problem that will solve itself or with a lump sum payment.

 

Well, if there are kids who grow up with no ethics or moral values aka bad or no parenting, this is what happens. The poor kids who have good parents end up going to college and become productive members of society.

the other kids end up like Tupac in the film juice

Houston crime is bad , maybe voters should have voted Lina out .
I got respect for Turner cause I met him at a rockets event in the 90s but the hood areas are still hood and need more attention.
It’s not as nearly as bad as Chicago but people in Texas aren’t that woke

 

having lived in LA, and frequented SF/Vancouver/Toronto, visited NYC/Houston/Phila, Montreal, I've been to the Chinatowns in every one of these cities.

the so-called "Chinatown" in Vegas ranks several levels below all the above.​

 

Wait...did someone actually talk up "Chinatown in Vegas"?

 

Yeah if you’ve never been then stop pretending you know breh
