Why didn't they look around in other parts of the city, or in the suburbs, for better bargains for their money? LONGSHOREMEN LIVE NEAR THE DOCKS We asked them that, "Why do you go on living here? " "Why, it's home, " just about half the families replied. Many of them, as we have seen, had lived in the neighborhood even in the same house from ten to twenty years. Slightly more than half gave low rent as another reason for staying put, and as many mentioned nearness to work as still another. But ...whether this last reason was mentioned or not, it is a fact that all our longshoremen did live near their work, for all were employed on piers lying between West i4th and Canal Streets. If a man lives nearby, he can go home between shapes, or at least for meals. Over two-thirds of our family longshoremen told us that they could go home for lunch and, when they worked at night, for dinner, too. It was cheaper, they said, to eat at home than at the crowded and often filthy waterfront bars and grills, where the food is poor.
