Over at Boom, writer/podcaster Colin Marshall examines the way that what he calls the California dream has infiltrated and shaped where Koreans want to put down roots, and how it guides the interplay between Seoul and LA's Koreatown: "Los Angeles has lately drawn the attention of the rest of the United States for its achievements in rapid transit and the resurrection of its downtown, but in these and other aspects I find it has much to learn from a city like Seoul. Some of these lessons manifest in miniature in Koreatown, long one of the densest, nighttime-friendly, classically urban neighborhoods in Los Angeles." [Boom]
