"During this time, as the populations of cities increased, so did the homeless population, and pickpockets and thieves flourished. Although New York City organized the first full-time, salaried police force in 1844, it and most other city law enforcement units were too small to have much impact on crime."
"As the cities grew, so did the challenge of keeping them clean. Horse manure piled up on the streets, sewage flowed through open gutters, and factories spewed foul smoke into the air."
"Without dependable trash collection, people dumped their garbage on the streets. Since garbage was picked up infrequently, people sometimes dumped it into the air shafts, where it attracted vermin. To keep out the stench, residents nailed windows shut."
"The limited water supply in many cities contributed to the spread of fires. Major fires occurred in almost every large American city during the Industrial Era. In addition to lacking water with which to combat blazes, most cities were packed with wooden dwellings, which were like kindling waiting to be ignited. The use of candles and kerosene heaters also posed a fire hazard."
"As the urban population increased, working-class families in cities had two housing options. They could either buy a house on the outskirts of town, where they would face transportation problems, or rent cramped rooms in a boardinghouse in the central city. Boardinghouses were poorly kept, and exteriors of the buildings were unsightly."
"After working-class families left the central city, immigrants often took over their old housing, sometimes with two or three families occupying a one-family residence. These multifamily urban dwellings, called tenements, were overcrowded and unsanitary."

In the 1920s, Americans were so eager to buy the items listed above -- even if they really couldn’t afford it. Why do you think that is?

Cities, like Chicago, offered economic opportunities to women, migrants, and immigrants, as well as the passage of new immigration restrictions.

By the 1920s, a majority of the US population lived in cities rather than in rural areas.

Starting in 1916: 6 million African Americans moved from the rural south to northern industrial cities.

By 1970 nearly 50% of African Americans left the American South compared to 90% living there in 1900.
