<blockquote>
The DISC does *not* usually try to ensure that you can’t find the story. It may even bring up the story tangentially in something like a “To be sure...” paragraph or in occasional features. It merely ensures that the reality now paved over never becomes operational.
 
Go Dodgers.
 
The story of the disappearance of these towns and the treatment of their residents is an active act of daily forgetting. Supposed free market conservatives were looking to confiscate property rights of home owners below market value & willing to wield the power of the state.
 
This resulted in twin narratives:
 
A) The instutional “Go Dodger Blue!” narrative about a team and a stadium.
 
B) The “Chavez Ravine” narrative about the awesome power of the state to destroy any illusion of property rights and abuse of extraordinary powers against the powerless.
 
This story will continue to be told...only generally not on game days. Yet every once in a while the two narratives, instutional and personal, collide ever so briefly. That is when the DISC slips.
 
It may not have been paradise, but they did indeed put up a parking lot...
 
End.
