-===== Description =====
-**Slumming It – very cheap rented accommodation.**
-  * **Shack** -  a single room building with little more than a bed and a stool.  Found in Shanty towns, Favelas and slums.  No Toilets, cook over an open fire etc.
-  * **Passage Housing** – Cheap housing for the workers.  The passage is about 5 feet wide and perhaps 40 feet long.  It is lined with rooms, three stories high, all reached by dark dingy staircases.  Average room size is something less than 15x10 and they are rented out separately.  The only facilities are a toilet in the yard.  This is the standard housing that is built to accommodate workers when they arrive -  just about every district has its share of these.  Cheap to build and cheap to rent, they are built by  'invisible Investors' every time a new business is created. A block of 24 rooms could house 50 people.  There are sometimes called Back-to-backs -  as they only have windows on the passage side of the room.  That means another passage can be built immediately next to them.
-  * **Tenement** – Block of basic housing with a mix of dormitory accommodation and rooms of various sizes. Large rooms might have screens  or curtains rigged to give separate areas and a modicum of privacy.  Cooking in small fireplaces in the room, a few shared outside toilets.  Ground floor is generally a basic business, such as a cheap bar, soup kitchen, second hand clothes, penny store, etc.  This is the best value building for landlords – and needed because they provide an affordable home to most of the town’s workers.  Think  of  building block arranged around a small dark courtyard - it is half a step up from passage housing.
-**In Business – reasonable rented accommodation.**
-  * **Apartment blocks** – accommodation blocks made up of apartments of various sizes – from family homes to a nice room for the discerning man about town.  They have decent sized fireplaces, and enough shared toilets to go around.  Much of the ground floor is given over to business – Possibly a grocer, tailor or offices.  Better quality accommodation, for more successful of the city's workers.
-  * **Lodging House** - Rooms and lodgings for the discerning lady or gentlemen about town. The house has a bathroom and sufficient toilets.  The landlady will deliver light meals to your rooms, make sure they are cleaned and get your laundry done for you.   A suitable home for master craftsmen, professionals and military officers.
