Yes PB but the Chinese arnt developers.What they do is buy existing homes and offer ridiculous amounts for it thats what happened in bensonhurst.The Italian families wanted to move out of Bhurst and go live in staten island so when it was time to sell the chinese would offer more and end up buying the house and over the years bhurst would start shifting towards chinese ratio.That right there forces housing prices up and keeps the younger generation out the housing market.
