Life in tenmant housing

Today Kadizzle, The Commander, and daughter Cheech (aka Megan) crossed the Williamsburg Bridge into the lower east side for a tour of a tenement building.  Apparently an owner had boarded up the place back in the early 1900's, so it was just like it would have been when the original Irish family and 7,ooo other people lived there. 

Coming from a family of 9, Kadizzle could imagine what it would have been like for a family of six or eight to live in a space the size of our garage.  Five out houses served well over 100 people in the six story complex.  All water had to be carried up four flights of stairs.  By any standard it was a miserable life style.
