I always thought the West End is to the West Side as College Hill is to the East Side,

Before the influx of gentrification, the west end was where the majority of its residents were either from Guatemala or Cambodia. Those people aren't able to afford living in the West Side. Same goes for College Hill, that was the East side with a majority Black community, which is no longer the case.

Please do not put Cambodians and Guatemalans in the same sentence, 2 different pathways to America. Most of the Cambodians moved to greener pasture in Cranston and further out after working and saving. Some moved out of state. There is only a handful who live in the west end for one reason or another.
