“Less careful about maintenance and upkeep of properties? Less civic duty? Community involvement?”

Asia is huge. Are you mixing poor/rich Indians, Chinese, Japanese together. Those whose great grand parents moved here 100 years ago or those who just arrived? Putting everyone in one pot is a big mistake. I find your comment as insulting as the previous person predicting a white flight in the Tri-Valley.

I’ve seen the crappiest strip malls in the Valley (with not a single Asian shop) and also the classiest neatest Asian malls full of 100K+ cars in their parking. Nothing to do with race. There are many other factors to take in consideration.

i live in east dublin and would love to see an asian market on this side of town. although, i do agree that the typical pattern is once you have an Asian anchor, more asian stores follow. Unfortunately, asians tend to be less careful about maintenance and upkeep of properties. I see that in my parent’s generation (my husband does too) and those that come from overseas as adults. they just don’t care as much about civic duty and as a general rule, don’t put as much into community. Hopefully the Rosewood Plaza won’t start to look as shabby as some of the properties down in the Tri-cities area. It would be great if we could buck that trend!
