The homestead act was a land grand act to encourage agricultural settlement in the WEST, sod-busters rather than Cowboys, it dated to l862 and obviously is as out-of-date as Confederate Money. It applied to farmers not urban dwellers, N"uff said. you may be thinking of the Homestead Strike of a major steel mill ( part of USS then Carnegie Steel company) that was in Pennsylvania in 90"s. neither impacted NYC.
