What is a "tenement"?

A tenement is a large building that is divided into multiple small apartments or units, usually for people with low incomes. These buildings are often found in crowded urban areas and are typically older, sometimes poorly maintained, with basic amenities. Tenements were originally built to provide affordable housing for working-class families, but they are sometimes associated with poor living conditions, such as limited space, inadequate plumbing, or insufficient lighting. Despite these challenges, tenements remain an important form of housing in many cities around the world.

What is a "thoroughfare"?

A thoroughfare is a main road or pathway that allows for the passage of vehicles or people between different areas. It is usually a wide, well-traveled route that connects towns, cities, or other significant locations. Thoroughfares are important for transportation, as they provide access to various places and help ease the flow of traffic. They are often busy roads with multiple lanes or paths designed to accommodate large volumes of vehicles or pedestrians. Thoroughfares can be highways, major streets, or any other key routes that link different parts of a region.
