This area will be constrained too but there's a lot of room there too for growth. To me this is more of a Flushing style of growth - bigger projects and not your small 3 story 3 unit buildings here and there.

There's also a large Chinatown shopping plaza planned for the NE corner of 18th/Canal, with parking on the ground floor (partially buried in the hillside) and 2 levels of retail/restaurant above that.

This is all exciting, but there's not enough demand for all of these, right? Certainly the Chinese community is growing but you need huge population to support these kind of developments. It's also a shame that the urban experience will be pretty poor, these are clearly expecting people to arrive by car. At least Hoyt Square is a historic building and 2300 S Archer has shops lining the street.
