vietnamese americans moving to houston

The Los Angeles Times has an interesting story on the recent of trend of Vietnamese Americans from California who are moving to Houston, lured by cheap real estate, a lower cost of living, abundant business opportunities and a thriving, growing Vietnamese community: Flocking from SoCal to Houston. It used to be that California was the place to be. San Jose and Orange County are home to the country's largest Vietnamese enclaves, but skyrocketing rents and staggering housing prices are driving an out-of-state migration to Houston. The city's Vietnamese community is now the third largest in the United States. Houston's where it's happening.
