i'm completely serious, if it's possible to buy up a lot of cheap urban land, kick everyone off it, and have actual local migration controls

...awhile ago. also there is a thing of cantonese landlords subdividing apartments and packing fujianese...
-
...migrants into them to the chagrin of cantonese already there
-
to keep a place you need landlords united in preferring culture over money, hard because runaway defection
-
to *have* a place tho a solution is to keep finding new places after the current one gets taken over
-
as evidenced by less infiltrated mandarin area adjacent to cantonese in manhattan, little fujian in brooklyn...
-
...pan-asian flushing queens etc
-
also legal threat. price discrimination is preferred because it's allowed and approximates desired result
-
massive externalities, but landlords don't bear them
