1. The City of Glendale has voted to rezone twelve
blocks of a major commercial boulevard to allow for
a mixed-use housing and retail development. The de-
velopment plan calls for five stories of both affordable
and upscale housing to sit atop restaurants, markets,
cafes, and shops. The project will follow the example
of similar mixed-use facilities built in recent years in
other Southern California cities, including Pasadena’s
Paseo Colorado and Burbank’s Media Village.
2. Claremont is that rare city with both beauty and
brains: 10,000 of its 36,000 residents hold advanced
university degrees, and it boasts 23,500 trees located
on public land. The seven Claremont Colleges occupy
the center of town, and nine public K–12 schools, eight
of which have been designated “distinguished schools”
by the California School Recognition Program, sit next
to twenty-one parks. The city also preserves 1,200
acres of foothills as a wilderness park.
3. The Inland Empire cities of Irvine, Rancho Cu-
camonga, Chula Vista, and Fontana grew more than
11% in two years, reflecting a strong demand for new
housing in the area. ‑Other revitalization efforts are
following fast: In Fontana, for example, $60 million to
$80 million worth of civic development projects are in
the works, including new roads which should attract
commercial and retail developments to accompany
increased housing.

1. LAFCO, a state agency, rejected a proposal to trans-
form San Pedro and Wilmington into an independent
municipality. A financial study by the agency conclud-
ed that the harbor area could not generate enough
revenue to sustain the proposed city. Despite accusa-
tions that it wrongly excluded a major tax generating
industrial area, LAFCO will not conduct a new study,
maintaining that to do would constitute an inappropri-
ate use of public funds.
2. As another effect of urban spawl, a recent study
finds that families who live in spread out metropoli-
tan areas with weak pubic transit networks spend
more of their household budgets on transportation
than people in denser regions. San Diego was ranked
fourth nationally in expenses; the densely populated
and transit-friendly New York City came in last. The
Ctiy of San Diego was not surprised by the results of
the study and is taking steps to mitigate the problem;
it plans to spend $42 billion over the next 27 years to
increase public transit and build more carpool lanes.
The report may draw attention to congressional debates
over a federal transportation bill that will provide high-
way and transit funding over the next six years.

description
The site is bounded north and south by the 101 Freeway and 4th Street
respectively and Alameda Street to the west. The concrete lining of the
Los Angeles River defines the site’s east edge. The river and the network
of rail tracks along it, together with the constantly busy 101 Freeway,
form the most impermeable edge of the site. The degree of porosity of
two other boundaries is dependent upon the amount and density of traffic
on 4th and Alameda Street. Also, porosity depends upon the presence of
extensive fenced-off parking buffers that discourage loitering.
In addition to the aforementioned four boundary constraints, East 1st
Street divides the site into two distinctive parts, each
with their own set of focalizing processes that contrib-
ute to the definition of the site. For the southern half,
these focal centers are the Department of Public Social
Services, the recently situated educational institution
of SCI-Arc, and two temples serving the Japanese-
American community. The focal centers of the northern
half are two museums—Japanese American National
Museum and MOCA Geffen Contemporary. The distinc-

site, looking west, 1951

tion between the two parts of the site is reinforced by
different components that form urban infill. Whereas
the majority of the buildings in the northern half serve
industry, artists’ lofts are gradually overtaking remod-
eled warehouses in the southern half of the site.
The layout of the territory provides for side-by-side in-
teractions along the Alameda Street—East 4th Street
edge. In fact, two Buddhist temples and the Japanese
Catholic Center are the results of the interaction with
Turner Street Banning Sreet
the adjacent area of Little Tokyo. However, the current
state of the site is very fragile. There are few emergent
characteristics that affect the site.
Dilapidated former commercial manufacturing and
storage areas have become spaces for artistic produc-
tion. The ongoing conversion of old warehouses into
lofts brings new residents into an area formerly oc-
cupied mostly by the urban poor and homeless. Along
Traction Avenue, a bookstore, café, sushi bar and a

little theater have opened and rely on new clientele
with disposable income. Though they are few in num-
ber, they very likely will multiply. This gentrification
of space is furthered by the presence of SCI-Arc,
spurring concerns of the residents over affordability
and diversity in their neighborhood.

 Chavez Ravine reconsidered
Downtown Los Angeles, a major pulse of the city, houses the art community,
cultural corridor, convention center, financial center, business district, civic
powerhouse, and manufacturing district. Even with such an intense urban
fabric, the city lacks the housing thread that binds the city together. The heavily
charged city by day turns into a desolated ghost town for the homeless and
crime at night. The lack of housing units in downtown drives people to the
skirts of the city to live. When the entire workforce of a city tries to discharge
itself through its limited infrastructure within a relatively small window of time,
it is inevitable that traffic congestion would take place. The existing capacity of
road infrastructures is not large enough to handle the extreme volume of cars
without experiencing delays.

This proposal for urban housing will both rejuvenate downtown Los Angeles
and alleviate traffic conditions.

Looking for possible locations for urban housing, one realizes that Dodger
Stadium in Chavez Ravine is the single largest remaining under-utilized land
in downtown Los Angeles. Perched on a hill with panoramic views of the
downtown cityscape, the site of Dodger Stadium offers serenity and seclusion
from its neighboring communities. The present usage of the land as a stadium,
with its main function of directing people’s attention inward toward the sporting
field, negates the uniqueness of the site.

Currently, any green space in the city is hard to come by, let alone a vast green
space such as Elysian Park. This unimaginable treasure holds the potential to
bind different neighborhoods together. It has been shown that Elysian Park has
a higher concentration of recreational facilities and sporting centers than any
parks nearby. Furthermore, Elysian Park services several ethnic communities
providing a diverse cross section of Los Angeles. However, the living standards
of these neighborhoods are lower than the rest of Los Angeles. As a result,
important civil amenities, such as hospitals, libraries, and fire stations are
lacking. Amenities have to cover a greater radius of distance when compared to
the average of the city. The introduction of higher income residents as another
demographic component will serve as a catalyst to raise the living standards
of the surrounding neighborhood. The higher tax revenues will provide higher
quality and quantity of amenities. The potential high buying power of these
new residents will attract commercial/retail developments to the site, which
in turn will increase the land value and raise the net worth of the residential

1949 1949 June 1951

Unpaved roads and distressed houses define
the neighborhood community of Chavez
Ravine. Despite the physical condition of the
structures, the community has a deep and rich
legacy.
View of housing on Chavez Ravine before the
eviction notices.
Homeowners from Chavez Ravine protest to the
City Council against a plan to relocate them to a
low rent alternative housing development. Even-
tually, the $100,000 development from the Los
Angeles Housing Authority faced a more power-
ful opposition: the era’s anti-communist fervor.
Less that two miles north of downtown Los Angeles, Chavez Ravine, until the late 1949s, was home to three villages of
some 1,100 mostly poor, mostly Mexican American families. Tucked into the rolling, picturesque ravines, inhabitants
of La Loma, Bishop, and Palo Verde ran their own churches and schools, and grew their own food, living up to the nick-
name, a “poor man’s Shangri La.”

Non-residents, however, saw Chavez Ravine as an eyesore in the middle of a burgeoning Los Angeles. Coinciding with
the end of World War II, the Federal Housing Act of 1949 earmarked 10,000 new units to be built in Los Angeles. Los
Angeles mayor Fletcher Bowron saw the 315 acres of “shanty town” as a prime location for thousands of these units.
In July of the next year, the residents of Chavez Ravine received letters telling them to sell their homes or lose them to
eminent domain. After demolition, the residents would then have first choice of a newly designed Elysian Park Heights
home.

Elysian Park Heights, designed by Richard Neutra and Robert E. Alexander, was to be a combination of 13-story high-
rises and two-story bar buildings. Optimized for views of Elysian Park and downtown, the more than 3,300-unit project
included a school and recreation center. Within two years, other than a few holdouts, Chavez Ravine had been cleared
of its inhabitants and made ready for public housing.

In the early 50s, however, public housing, became another Cold War front. Immediately the Los Angeles Times and
downtown business interests attacked the project as abject socialism. Frank Wilkinson, an assistant to the director
of the Los Angeles Housing Authority and a proponent of Elysian Park Heights, failed to answer under oath if he was a
communist and was hauled before the House Un-American Activities Committee. He was fired and spent a year in jail.
The Los Angeles City Council attempted to block the construction of the project, and the final blow came from the newly
elected mayor, Norris Poulson, who ran on a platform of stopping “un-American” spending.

The City Council and Poulson then offered to buy back the land from the federal government, promising that it would be
spent for public use. Sensing that by 1953 no public housing would be built in Chavez Ravine, the federal government
sold the property back to Los Angeles at a reduced rate with the “public use” stipulation attached.

By the late 50s, Los Angeles was quickly gaining population and confidence and was seeking a major league baseball
team. Walter O’Malley’s Brooklyn Dodgers were successful on the field but unprofitable in the overly small Ebbets Field,
and so after being denied a new field by New York City, he took his team west. In 1957, he struck a deal with Los Angeles
to purchase the 315 acres of Chavez Ravine and a minor league team (Los Angeles Angels) and its ballpark, with the
promise that a new stadium and youth recreation center would be built. The total deal cost O’Malley $500,000 initially,
annual payments of $60,000 for 20 years, and $345,000 in property taxes starting in 1962.

This controversial new deal, ostensibly fulfilling the “public use” stipulation of the federal land sale, was approved in
1958 by a city-wide referendum after garnering 52% of the vote. Subsequent court cases ruled in favor of O’Malley, and
so the last family to be removed—squatting on site for over seven years—was evicted on May 8, 1959 to make way for
the ceremonial groundbreaking four months later. The 56,000-seat Dodger Stadium, surrounded by 21 terraced park-
ing lots, opened on April 10, 1962.

be another eight years before the last of the
residents were evicted from their homes.

Council Districts are political boundaries, cre-

Los Angeles that acts as the governing body
of the city, except as otherwise provided in the
charter, and enacts ordinances subject to the
approval or veto of the mayor. It orders elec-
tions, levies taxes, authorizes public improve-
ments, approves contracts, and adopts traffic
regulations. The council adopts or modifies the
budget proposed by the mayor and provides
the necessary funds, equipment, and supplies
for the budgetary departments. The council
confirms or rejects appointments proposed by
the mayor and prescribes duties of boards and
officers not defined by charter. There are fifteen
council districts in the city. By charter rule, coun-
cil district boundaries must be redrawn every ten
years. New boundaries are based on the most
recent census and must be in place no later than
the end of the city’s fiscal year.

1. Commuting routes within striking distance of major
stadiums suffer from major traffic jams. Dodger Sta-
dium accommodates 19,000 cars and wreaks havoc on
commuting times for Echo Park residents as well as
those who live in nearby Atwater Village, Eagle Rock,
Glendale, Pasadena, and Silver Lake. Other problems
are caused by a shortage of stadium parking, such
as at Edison Field, which only has 12,000 spaces for
45,000 seats.
2. If wealthy developer Alan Casden can successfully
acquire the Los Angeles Dodgers, he will seek to em-
bark upon the relocation of Dodger Stadium from its
current home in Chavez Ravine to a new one down-
town, a few miles south on the 110 Freeway. Casden
believes that this will contribute to the renaissance
of downtown Los Angeles, as well as provide a bet-
ter experience for baseball fans. At the same time, he
sees a wide range of new homes being built in Chavez
Ravine, surrounded by the green of Elysian Park. Locals
are skeptical as to whether Casden’s plan would suc-
ceed, and what his true motives are. Casden says he
has positive interests at heart: While growing up in L.A.,
he would take the bus and trolley to see the Dodgers
play in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. He col-
lected baseball cards and sold programs before games
to earn pocket money.
