Folder: S.F. Districts-Chinatown-Housing-Ping Yuen. Newscopy: "Chinatown is changing. Gradually the new is encroaching on the old, an one of these days the Chinatown San Franciscans know and love so well will be a thing of the past. Typical of the new face of Chinatown is the Ping Yuen Housing Project, shown here, rapidly nearing completion. Soon modern, airy apartments will be available there to Chinese who have lived in crowded rooms and narrow alleys for generations."
