I get the point, but the title is obnoxious. At its heart the word "ghetto" has an ineradicable association with discrimination and restriction. Jews in 17th century Venice did not choose to live in the ghetto, they were restricted to it. All current uses of the word still carry that connotation even at several removes.
Find a better word, the English language has many to choose from.
