"... crammed into the 'inhuman dens' of disease-ridden tenements. Even back then, though, New York had a law against this, enacted in 1867, giving people a 'legal claim' to 'air and sunlight,' as Riis wrote. The city just didn’t enforce it. Similarly, 146 people died at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory downtown in 1911 not because New York didn’t have laws against locking exit doors, but because the owners didn’t follow them. Both the laws and their enforcement improved, part of New York’s century-long public-health triumph. Now, we’re going backward. Eleven people, including 2-year-old Lobsang Lama, drowned in their basement apartments during last week’s flash floods. Five of the six apartments in which they drowned were illegal. The city knew about at least three of these illegal apartments — and ignored the violations. Most basement apartments are illegal for a good reason: You can’t easily escape from them. But Gotham has long ignored illegal dwellings: Last year, three people died in fires in illegal units."From "Flooding of illegal units belies NYC progressives’ self-righteous claims" by Nicole Gelinas (NY Post).
