In the early 1980s an influx of immigrants from Taiwan arrived, drawn in large part to the great public schools. A second wave came from Hong Kong after the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests. The city?s Asian population grew from 4 percent in 1980 to 59 percent in 2010.
A family moved into a new home in 2008 and flanked the front walkway with two waist-high lion statues, the ?fu dogs? that guard imperial Chinese palaces. A few years later, a developer named Ricky Tang began building his own home across the street. Tang didn?t care for the lions, but their owners refused to remove them. In January 2011, according to city records, Tang mounted two replica cannons on top of a construction trailer in the front of his lot, aiming back at the lions. A red sign reading ?Cannon against dogs? in Chinese hung from each cannon.
