    In fact, many Chinese came to United States and Canada to build railroad. Many died due to the harsh condition that "provided" by the rail road company. They were very close to being treated as slaves.
    They were discriminated and they were ignored when they seek help from the police. It left them with no choice but to lived together and that's how Chinatown was built.

    If the city leaders had any brain they’d be finding ways to encourage business and community in this area. Where is all this property tax money for thousands of million dollar houses GOING? In their pockets?

    Wow I didn't know there's going to be a new park in J-town. I just thought they were done building that one ugly-ass apartment building and were going to build another ugly-ass apartment building lol.

    Chinatown in SF used to be where all the Latinos lived, and then they pushed us out to the Mission District.

      @@johnwoo1577 Cantonese isn't even the language of China. They don't teach it in schools or nothing, I went over there to visit. Never understood why they make all the language on the bus and trains Cantonese, its supposed to be language you speak at home, while language of business/public is Mandarin.
