I doubt mountain glenn is the same kind of situation as an expanding colony of an empire. Many nations have established territories that are made by pioneers who set out by choice, and there've been many that have have been well off as there have been those of the poorest class. In fac, most of the early pioneers of the Americas were rather well to do individuals, now not all of them, but there was a sizeableamount, just as there were those of the poorest class looking for work.

If mountain glenn was a slight against faunus,you'd think Blake would be the firs tochime in about it, but for the most part the knowledge has been largely left to Oobleck and Thesisters, who're actually from Vale.

Way I see i is Mountain Glenn was an attempt to expand and it failed and so as to ensure that the grimm didn't overrun the city, they made the difficult decision to seal them off. Was it bitter choice? Certainly, but sometimes there are no alternatives.
