As a result, the entire population of Chavez Canyon was removed from the land where the Dodger Stadium was built later. Most of the land of Chavez Ravine was acquired to secure the way to the proposed public housing. The public housing program was promoted as a political "progress", prohibited the original housing proposal, led to the dismissal of Mexican landlord Chavez Canyon abandoned in public housing as a result of a referendum that elected a conservative mayor in Los Angeles It was. A few years later, the land acquired by the government of Chavez Canyon was occupied by the city of Los Angeles as the current Dodger Stadium.
