Never Built: Elysian Park
KCRW’s Matt Holzman has been going behind the scenes to report on some of the projects in the exhibit and why they never got built. One was a huge housing project designed by Austrian émigré Richard Neutra, that was intended for Elysian Park and is now the site of Dodger Stadium. He tells the story of how red-baiting, unfamiliar accents and fears of a community being destroyed conspired to defeat an ideal of decent public housing.
