Excerpt from How the Other Half Lives, by Jacob A. Riis, 1890
The truth is that pauperism grows in the tenements as naturally as weeds in a garden lot. A moral distemper, like crime, it finds
there its most fertile soil. All the surroundings of tenement-house life favor its growth, and where once it has taken root it is
harder to dislodge than the most virulent of physical diseases. The thief is infinitely easier to deal with than the pauper, because
the very fact of his being a thief presupposes some bottom to the man. Granted that it is bad, there is still something, a possible
handle by which to catch him. To the pauper there is none. He is as hopeless as his own poverty.
