There, the elves that live in the cities are forced to live in Elvenages or whatever they were called. Esentially, lower than low. But, they still try to do the best they can, and are a close, very cultural community. Even if they live among literal shit.

Maybe the Faunus did the same. They knew that, at least for now, there was nothing they could do against Humans, so they decided to do the best they could. Only difference here is, there is 1 Elvenage per important Human city, while Menagerie is just 1 place. So there were more Faunus, in a single area, instead of spread across multiple areas. They're called alienages, but yes, you are correct in the general theory.
