Interesting. Unfortunately any massive new construction will only displace the immigrant populations who can only afford "used" buildings, so the current immigrant population is a bad reason for creating an "area of focus".
Really, the only advantage is that gentrifiers might be lured by the vibrant immigrant businesses, at least until those businesses are priced out.
Side note: saw the Tysons viaduct today. That thing is MASSIVE. I love the symbolism, though... The city is reaching out a gigantic tentacle to colonize and transform a suburban hellhole.
