Prior to becoming the home to the Los Angeles Dodgers, Chavez Ravine was a largely Hispanic community home to thousands of working-class Los Angeles residents. Many of the homes were small and meager, but it gave these residents an opportunity to have affordable housing.
More than 60 years later, a California lawmaker wants to"rectify" their displacement. California Assemblywoman Wendy Carrillo introduced Assembly Bill 1950, which in part would provide some compensation to the ravine's previous landowners and their descendants. If approved, original landowners would be offered city-owned real estate at a comparable market value, or similar compensation.
