Just read this moving and informative Phila Inquirer tribute to Fernando Valenzuela by hall of fame columnist Claire Smith. She mentions the destruction of the Chavez Ravine community in her article.

I don't know about that. I'll look into it. Thank you
The public housing got relocated to the abandoned ball park sites in New York. A great mess all around.
