Friedrich Engels (Isaac Pontarelli)

The industrial revolution has both its upsides and downsides. On the upside it provided work for the industrial worker which made up most of the lower classes of society.  This meant that people had a steady supply of income, as to when farming was an option and the crops varied from year to year. Unfortunately everything comes at a price. Now that thousands of people flock to the cities, housing is a very real, and pressing issue. This means that these industrial workers are now living in horrendous living accommodations. These buildings are almost always not up to code, and the workers are forced to huddle in crowded rooms every night. The industrial revolution has provided a great opportunity for the working class, and it is now the ob of the government to make sure that they are properly housed.
