tenements were often shared..and infested with vermin.
Why not ? They are well built. Scotland isn't the only place in the world with Tenements. Try Boston.
They had to live within walking distance of the places they worked..
Tenements were places used to keep certain people in an isolated group. Example would be the after attacks of Pearl Harbor. The living conditions in tenements were very severe in some cases. First of all, it wasn't actually spacious in tenements and many were put in tenements with other people. Many got sick because of poor sanitary issues and lack of continuous hygiene increased the spread of sickness. Mostly children and elders were prone to becoming victims in tenements because of their poor immune systems being constantly attacked. Even though they were given food and a place to stay many immigrants have died in tenements because of poor living conditions they had to go through.

They were affordable.
Dumbbell tenements were dangerous due to their cramped living conditions and poor sanitation. Designed to maximize space, these buildings often had inadequate ventilation and limited access to natural light, leading to unhealthy environments. Overcrowding exacerbated the spread of diseases, while shared facilities like bathrooms and kitchens increased the risk of fire and hygiene issues. Overall, the design prioritized profit over the well-being of residents, making them hazardous places to live.
I live in a tenements area in the bronx.
They provided more spaces for people to live in.
Actually, today the same dangers that people face in poverty stricken areas are the same as tenements. People experience crime, poverty, lack of jobs and education, inadequate housing, crowded conditions, and lack of safety.
They were filled with waste water.
People lived in tenements because of there low paying jobs often forced them yo move into and tenement which is a poorly built, overcrowded apartment building.
An unhealthy lung, is a lung that is perfect. It has no problems, and if you have an unhealthy lung, then you will live for about 90 minutes. If you have a healthy lung then you will live until 50 years. Thanks for reading Daniel Murison
