Is(will) the Tri-Valley Asian population boom spreading North into Danville, WC, and Lamorinda? (Oakland: buying, place to live)

This is dumb and you're trolling.

It's not an either or dichotomy.

I can tell you EXACTLY why San Marino has become majority Asian over the years:

1. Status. San Marino as always been an exclusive neighborhood in the San Gabriel Valley
2. Schools. Self explanatory
3. Proximity. It is close to the metro Los Angeles area and close to major Asian (mostly Chinese and Japanese) businesses in Monterey Park, Alhambra, San Gabriel and Arcadia. It is also is close to Pasadena which has been a bustling suburb for decades.

The Asian generations of the 50s and 60s started moving east from Metro L.A (Chinatown and Little Tokyo) outside to the suburbs of Monterey Park and South Pasadena as they became more successful. Because of the importance of education and status, San Marino was seen as an ultimate destination. The Asian Americans who were very successful moved in while real estate was somewhat attainable and established themselves there, the wealthy overseas Asians heard about this area and also moved in later. It is a very central area to experience both Asian and American culture. It is still considered an exclusive "enclave" along with adjacent southern Pasadena.

The reach has continued east and is now heading towards Glendora, El Monte, Diamond Bar, Chino Hills and even Eastvale though these would be considered middle and upper middle class.

I just got back from the Czech Republic. There is a small Vietnamese community and it is nice to be able to get Sushi but Czech Culture and people are still dominant. It is nothing like California.

Apples vs. oranges argument.

Asian Americans have been part of California and US history for over 150 years. It's not that we weren't here yesterday. It's just that there's a lot more of us now than then. So what?

We're here.

We're Asian.

Get used to it.

Who cares? People can move and live anywhere they like - it's up to the individual families' choices.

If my job and community was nearby, I'd prefer Lamorinda to the Tri Valley because it's more mature, wooded, and has better access to Oakland, Berkeley. And yes, I'm Asian American.
