Francisco and his seven small children are trapped in a dingy, unventilated two-room flat in a cankerous community called "Korea" in the Lower East Side.Francisco was one of the first tenants I met after I became a slum dweller in that area of the city last month. My $10-a-week hole in the wall in a cheap rooming house on Forsyth St. was barren, rat infested.
Description:In this second installment of the "I Lived in a Slum" series, Woody Klein writes about his experience living in a tenement in the Lower East Side's "Korea" neighborhood and Francisco, a tenant he met while living there.
