  • There are three Japantowns recognized by the state of California: San Francisco, San Jose and Los Angeles. This AAPI Heritage Month, we're taking a closer look at the communities in the Bay Area and exploring their challenges. Not only during the pandemic but how they've adapted to survive and how they're looking to thrive in the future.

    Tech, San Francisco shopping districts and "face recognition" - individual retail stores generate a registration/membership data base;
    plus establishment entry locks that function with uploaded photos, and registered individual recognition.
    A "free enterprise" version of "social credit ratings", that is a milder version of martial law intervention.

    my observation is that younger generations of Japanese people do not want to be involved in Japantown anymore. If you look at the interviews of the shop owners, a large portion of the owners are no longer japanese. I am not saying that is right or wrong. But the lack of interest and the dispersal of the subesequent japanese american diaspora, will likely be the demise of the various Japantowns. There is definatly an interest in Japanese culture and food in the US, but those things are no longer focused in Japantowns.

    I think the Moshi owners will do well because they are a niche product and it's fresh food they are making. But it's doomsday for regular eateries and such. Only the few will survive. Who wants to run a business in the crime infested Frisco?

    California Dems do not want the middle class in this state. They want poor, helpless individuals to not trust each other and follow the leader.

      Those “poor, helpless individuals” made California the world’s fifth biggest economy.

    They will let the business dry, stop tourism and people with families move out, but not stop funding activists and non "profits" for on purpose homelessness on streets. I mean how would you control the drug junkies trashing and yelling on each street.
