San Gabriel Valley
There are many Chinese enclaves in the San Gabriel Valley in Southern California, which originated from the 1970s as many have migrated from the Los Angeles Chinatown. These "ethnoburbs" extend to many suburbs to include Alhambra, Arcadia, Monterey Park, Rosemead, San Marino, San Gabriel, South Pasadena, and Temple City and then eastward to Diamond Bar, Hacienda Heights, Rowland Heights, and Walnut. These ethnoburbs were not necessarily extensions of previous migrations from China that occurred in the mid-1800s, but rather they were caused by outmigrations from the downtown Los Angeles Chinatown from overcrowding, following the path of the White Flight in the 1970s.

“Today, San Francisco has experienced a double tragedy of incredible proportions. As acting mayor, I order an immediate state of mourning in our city. The city and county of San Francisco must and will pull itself together at this time. We will carry on as best as we possibly can.... I think we all have to share the same sense of shame and the same sense of outrage.”
—Dianne Feinstein (b. 1933)
“I have been here before,
But when or how I cannot tell:
I know the grass beyond the door,
The sweet keen smell,
The sighing sound, the lights around the shore.”
—Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828–1882)
“I see before me now a traveling army halting,
Below a fertile valley spread, with barns and the orchards of summer,
Behind, the terraced sides of a mountain, abrupt, in places rising high,”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
