I always wondered how many Chinese people actually live in Chinatown...
"[Chinatown's] Chinese population has shrunk from a high of 3,000 to around 300 today."
They have actually been squeezed out by high rents, even as the local businesses use the "Chinatown" theme. Subway, Chipotle, McDonald's and dozens of other businesses have their names written in Chinese, lest total confusion break out on the street.
