Yes, with 2 - 3 times more flats per every floor in a building. And with whole multi-generational families living in every one of them. Don't forget sharing one bathroom between all this families and sometimes toilets just being wooden huts outside.
Try visiting Mitte Museum in Gesundbrunnen, you'd see how miserable pre-war housing was, yes even in the very centre.
The area around Ackerstr. was much more dangerous than Alex or Kotti is today.
