No Vacancy profiles two Asian American middle-aged men who, faced with the depletion of low-cost housing, find ways to survive in downtown’s Little Tokyo and Chinatown. This documentary, which contains footage of the razing of Little Tokyo’s Alan Hotel (now a market-priced block-wide housing complex), offers a poignant view of a working class Asian America that is rarely talked about
