The situation in Chinatown is deeply concerning. The livelihoods of local businesses, the homes of residents, and the rich cultural heritage of the community are at risk of being erased, overshadowed by the construction of a massive arena. It is crucial that any development in the area incorporates elements of Chinatown's history and culture. The arena should feature authentic establishments like Sang Kee, dim sum carts, bubble tea cafés, and rolled ice cream shops to preserve the cultural identity of the neighborhood. Additionally, efforts must be made to educate visitors, both tourists and locals, about the significance of Chinatown’s history, arts, culture, and people. A focus on genuine, culturally representative offerings—not just mainstream chains like Chickie’s and Pete’s or overpriced milkshake shops—would be essential. Furthermore, it is only fair that businesses from Chinatown be supported or subsidized in the face of these changes, to help mitigate the harm caused by the redevelopment. This situation is truly appalling.
