Could any one please help me? I remember reading about May Day in New York
in the mid 19th century when tenants would move en masse and I thought some
one said of this that labourers/working classes moved so frequently because
they felt it was one of the few areas of their lives they had full control
over. At the time I thought it was interesting but not relevant to what I
was doing, well now I think it is and I can't find were it was. Does any
one know? I thought it was in an article on the Five Points but having
scoured all that I can get my hands on maybe not... It has been driving me
mad and I have finally chopped that paragraph out of my PhD but I really
don't want to let it go.

While I am here are there any more references on tenant mobility in urban
situations? Unfortunatly they need to be references that I can get in
Australia...

Cheers
