Don't be so quick to dismiss the possibility. In the Australian suburb of Box Hill, the last 20 years have seen an absolute transformation as a low-rise suburb became home to the tallest group of towers outside of the Melbourne CBD. Coupled with a huge influx of migrants, primarily from China, walking around Box Hill at night definitely gives the impression of a Chinese city. Historically these sorts of developments were considered "impossible" and in fact, unwanted in the suburbs. Yet once development planning for the first tower was granted, it was only a matter of time. Given the tendency of first-generation migrants to flock, Asian eateries and other business followed. In the 2021 census, the language most spoken at home by Box Hill residents was not English but Mandarin Chinese. So never say never. Please note: the above does not constitute an opinion on whether this has been a good thing or a bad thing for Box Hill. It's a fact that its a thing. The point I'm making is that it's definitely possible for it to be a thing elsewhere too. It all depends on the planning permissions and whether business are incentivised in certain areas.
