Over-crowding

I reach the front door of one J.Faraday, as I enter I get the smell of musky mould and moth balls, but yes, in the mixture of  all the smells of my new surroundings there is the smell of human waste. As walk threw the house and there at least 1 -2 families of around 4-5 people per family, there are only 4 rooms in the upper part of the house, including one bathroom and a kitchen. As I wonder down the long flight of stairs to the basement, there are several mattresses of what appear to be made straw sprawled across the stone floor, there are a further 2-3 families living in this cramped, musty, dark hole. Across the floor there is a thin layer of human waste, as it looks and smells it was not along ago that the waste come through here and flooded these families belongings. These sort of conditions are unhealthy, most houses throughout the industrial side of London are like this, overcrowding is a massive problem and needs to be fixed. As I walk out the front the front door the city is very crowded, there are workers pulling carts full of machine parts and other goods threw the deep ruts in the road, there are the middle class that sit in there horse and cart, peering out their windows at the hustle and bustle surrounding them, people lining up to fetch water for their families and also the beggars sitting in the gutters pleading for money to provide for their families. Over-crowding is a massive problem with the masses of people moving from the country in search of work, the city is growing to quick, there are not enough houses for these families to create a new live in.
