Tenement Housing
The conditions of the tenement housing are inhumane. No one should have to live like this. There are sometimes twelve families in one flat. Where two families lived ten had moved in. Diseases like cholera were spread and even affected the clean wards that were never touched. One day on the corner of fifth avenue and fourteenth street a man stood with his children and watched as the wealthy passed by in their carriages. He was holding a knife and after speaking about how what the rich can buy in a few hours can last a whole year for his children he dived at one of them and tried to kill them with a knife that he held. This man was arrested and forgotten about , but what he did showed just how bad the tenement homes really were. The death rate has increased significantly. Children are dying from poisoned air which is called by poorly ventilated rooms. Enough people die a year that could fill a city and have enough labor to keep it running. If my word isn't good enough then hopefully my pictures can display the poor housing.
To change this way of living we should shut down the homes and provide parks or public space for the children. This will improve health and the overall lives of everyone.
