"Today three-fourths of our people live in tenements, and the drift of the
population to the cities is sending increasing multitudes to crowd them. The
fifteen thousand tenant houses that were the despair of past generations
have swelled in to thirty-seven thousand, and more than twelve hundred
thousand persons call them home. We know now that there is no way out; the
"system" that was the evil offspring of public neglect and private greed has
come to stay forever in our civilization. Nothing is left but to make the best of
a bad bargain" - Jacob Riis, How the Other Half Lives, Charles Scribner's
Sons, 1890
