Document Summary
Mexican workers were forced out (video chavez ravine) of their homes for low income 10,000 units housing. The mexicans were offered and they thought it was killing deal but if you moved out from that place the cost of housing was more than ,500 so they were fooled. Takeaways - failure by the city to provide low cost housing, false promises that were never fulfilled to build the dodger stadium. How were the mexicans marginalized when the economy started going bad in 1950- Underemployment - fair dynamic where people can work 40 hours a week and is still below the federal poverty wage line. Since the economy was rising so rapidly, it was thought that there shouldn"t be any poverty . Tremendous growth in the low page worker sector that grew after 1970s. What happened to blacks in detroit in the automobile industry. Video what happens in communities /dynamic that operates in the city.
