Huh. Apparently there were more people in Manhattan in 1905 than there are today. To the tune of 2,112,967 then and 1,537,195 as of the 2000 census. I suppose this was the time when the Lower East Side was the single most crowded place on the planet...

Memo to self: there is enough housing in the weird 1905 version of Manhattan that's just erupted in Ray's New York. It's just that most of it is nowhere near modern standards and a lot of it isn't where it's supposed to be.
