The east side is much more wealthy and nice, while the west side is filled with poverty and crime (causing Cincinnati to be ranked as one of the United State’s most dangerous cities.

Earlier in the poem, the speaker shows only hate for the woman beating the child, but towards this ending, he seems to mature and identifies with the woman a little bit better. He realizes that the woman may not be beating the kid for no reason, and instead may be perpetuating a cycle of abuse begun when she was a child (or even before).
