Thanks for the analysis it enriches the reading of the poem. I have lived in a kitch myself, but here in a region of many contrasts. The apartments are in their majority small, but one has a lot of facilities: food places, laundromats, drugstores at ones door, also theaters and movie theaters, museums, gyms all at the door. And buses and tube to everywhere. Overall there is a certain bohemian atmosphere here. One lives here by choice and that is not the case of Gwendolyn Brooks' poem.
