Rent problem for Chinatown immigrants



The price increase in San Francisco’s rental homes has finally reached Chinatown. It is sad because the majority of people who live in Chinatown do not have a high enough income to keep up with the cost of living in San Francisco. To this day, there are still many new immigrants who just got into this country. They rely on the community to start learning how things are here. That kind of familiar and support environment is what makes them decide to start their new lives there.

As hard as it is with the rental situation that they face, I know they will find a way to make it through because they will face further rent increases over the next few years. Either tighten the budget or work more hours, it is human nature to make things work as hard as things may seem. This has been proven through history by all the different immigrants from all over the world that have come to United States.
