Concerns about the impact on Philly's Chinatown

The proposed construction of a new basketball arena by the Philadelphia 76ers near Philly's Chinatown has raised concerns for the community. Activists argue that the area has a history of big projects being forced upon it, such as a highway, convention center, and proposed baseball stadium, causing displacement and gentrification. Worries center around traffic, parking, noise, and pollution, as well as rising rents that could drive people out of Chinatown. Business owners like Sue Lynn fear the loss of cultural heritage and a safe haven for the community, highlighting the importance of preserving Chinatown for future generations.
