what are the negative effects of Urbanization on housing their slums and tenements
Lack of money was the most pervasive reason for living in slums. Immigrants who did not know English would congregate in slums because they had relatives there or they felt more comfortable with people came from the same area. People in cities did not welcome blacks and poor immigrants to higher class neighborhoods. There was pressure or even ordinances to prevent realtors from renting or selling housing to people who looked different , so it was difficult for blacks and immigrants to move to better housing. Bankers were not eager to make home loans to such people which made it hard for them to buy a house. In order to move out of a slum, one must have money saved, a dependable income and be able to overcome any discrimination.
