Chavez Ravine /Elysian Park

157


26/37

Downtown Los Angeles, a major pulse of the city, houses the art community,cultural corridor, convention center, financial center, business district, civicpowerhouse, and manufacturing district. Even with such an intense urban

fabric, the city lacks the housing thread that binds the city together. The heavilycharged city by day turns into a desolated ghost town for the homeless andcrime at night. The lack of housing units in downtown drives people to theskirts of the city to live. When the entire workforce of a city tries to dischargeitself through its limited infrastructure within a relatively small window of time,it is inevitable that traffic congestion would take place. The existing capacity ofroad infrastructures is not large enough to handle the extreme volume of carswithout experiencing delays.

This proposal for urban housing will both rejuvenate downtown Los Angelesand 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 landin downtown Los Angeles. Perched on a hill with panoramic views of thedowntown cityscape, the site of Dodger Stadium offers serenity and seclusionfrom its neighboring communities. The present usage of the land as a stadium,with its main function of directing peoples attention inward toward the sportingfield, negates the uniqueness of the site.

Currently, any green space in the city is hard to come by, let alone a vast greenspace such as Elysian Park. This unimaginable treasure holds the potential tobind different neighborhoods together. It has been shown that Elysian Park hasa higher concentration of recreational facilities and sporting centers than anyparks nearby. Furthermore, Elysian Park services several ethnic communitiesproviding 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 arelacking. Amenities have to cover a greater radius of distance when compared tothe average of the city. The introduction of higher income residents as anotherdemographic component will serve as a catalyst to raise the living standardsof the surrounding neighborhood. The higher tax revenues will provide higherquality and quantity of amenities. The potential high buying power of thesenew residents will attract commercial/retail developments to the site, whichin turn will increase the land value and raise the net worth of the residentialproperties.

1949View of housing on Chavez Ravine before theeviction notices.

June 1951Homeowners from Chavez Ravine protest to theCity Council against a plan to relocate them to alow rent alternative housing development. Even-tually, the $100,000 development from the LosAngeles Housing Authority faced a more power-ful opposition: the eras anti-communist fervor.

1949Unpaved roads and distressed houses definethe neighborhood community of ChavezRavine. Despite the physical condition of thestructures, the community has a deep and richlegacy.

Chavez Ravine

the evictionswebsites:pbs.org/independentlens/chavezravine/cr.htmlLos Angeles Times, Mike Boehm, 05.18.03pbs.orglosangeles.dodgers.mlb.comballparks.com

Less that two miles north of downtown Los Angeles, Chavez Ravine, until the late 1949s, was home to three villages ofsome 1,100 mostly poor, mostly Mexican American families. Tucked into the rolling, picturesque ravines, inhabitantsof 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 mans Shangri La.

Non-residents, however, saw Chavez Ravine as an eyesore in the middle of a burgeoning Los Angeles. Coinciding withthe end of World War II, the Federal Housing Act of 1949 earmarked 10,000 new units to be built in Los Angeles. LosAngeles 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 toeminent domain. After demolition, the residents would then have first choice of a newly designed Elysian Park Heightshome.

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 projectincluded a school and recreation center. Within two years, other than a few holdouts, Chavez Ravine had been clearedof 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 anddowntown business interests attacked the project as abject socialism. Frank Wilkinson, an assistant to the directorof the Los Angeles Housing Authority and a proponent of Elysian Park Heights, failed to answer under oath if he was acommunist 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 newlyelected 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 bespent for public use. Sensing that by 1953 no public housing would be built in Chavez Ravine, the federal governmentsold 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 baseballteam. Walter OMalleys 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 thepromise that a new stadium and youth recreation center would be built. The total deal cost OMalley $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 in1958 by a city-wide referendum after garnering 52% of the vote. Subsequent court cases ruled in favor of OMalley, andso the last family to be removedsquatting on site for over seven yearswas evicted on May 8, 1959 to make way forthe ceremonial groundbreaking four months later. The 56,000-seat Dodger Stadium, surrounded by 21 terraced park-ing lots, opened on April 10, 1962.

May 1959The media is on location as movers vacate be-longings of the Vargas-Arechiga family.One of the last holdouts, in a few months thisproperty would become part of the ballpark de-velopment.

1952One of the three housing projects for ElysianPark as envisioned by the Los Angeles HousingAuthority.The projects offered a comprehensive commu-nity sustaining a variety of housing types withschools, shops, and hospitals.

2. If wealthy developer Alan Casden can successfullyacquire the Los Angeles Dodgers, he will seek to em-bark upon the relocation of Dodger Stadium from itscurrent home in Chavez Ravine to a new one down-town, a few miles south on the 110 Freeway. Casdenbelieves that this will contribute to the renaissanceof 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 ChavezRavine, surrounded by the green of Elysian Park. Localsare skeptical as to whether Casdens plan would suc-ceed, and what his true motives are. Casden says hehas positive interests at heart: While growing up in L.A.,he would take the bus and trolley to see the Dodgersplay in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. He col-lected baseball cards and sold programs before gamesto earn pocket money.

1. Commuting routes within striking distance of majorstadiums suffer from major traffic jams. Dodger Sta-dium accommodates 19,000 cars and wreaks havoc oncommuting times for Echo Park residents as well asthose who live in nearby Atwater Village, Eagle Rock,Glendale, Pasadena, and Silver Lake. Other problemsare caused by a shortage of stadium parking, suchas at Edison Field, which only has 12,000 spaces for45,000 seats.
