In a brief space of five or six years, rents in Chinatown have more than doubled. For example, today a Canal St. storefront rents for US $ 275 per square yard per year, even higher than some of New York's more luxurious neighborhoods like 42nd Street or Wall Street.
在短短的五、六年，唐人街的租金以倍數的漲幅扶搖直上，如今運河街店面每平方英尺的年租金是二百七十五美元，比紐約幾個精華區如四十二街、華爾街的房租還高。
