      Vì vùng San Jose, “Xăng Phăng” đất đai nhà cửa quá mắc nên nhiều hãng xưởng dọn về đây và chợ Việt, chợ Tàu mọc lên như nấm. Không như Bolsa khu chợ Việt nằm gần nhau, ở “Sắc Tô” khu thương mại Việt Nam nằm rải rác trên con đường Stockton.
      Because housing around San Jose and "San Fran" is so expensive, many companies have moved here, and Vietnamese and Chinese markets have popped up like mushrooms. Unlike how the Vietnamese districts on Bolsa [in Little Saigon] are located close to each other, in "Sac" the Vietnamese commercial districts are scattered along Stockton Boulevard.
