Be slumming/ slum it. Tenses use
I know it means spending time in conditions that are much worse.
When it comes to tenses use, the verb does'nt seem to work in the ordinary way. Just something that caught me eye.
If it's slum, there's always it coming after it. He slammed it on his trip around China
When the verb has the -ing ending; slumming. there's no it after it. We went / began slamming after we spent a lot of money or We were slamming in China when we bumped into our old friend
I'm might be wrong. And it is optional no matter what tense we've got.

Let's go slumming when we go to New Orleans.
The hurricane Katrina left many neighborhoods in ruins and the residents were too poor to rebuild their homes.
Those modern ruins were used as a "tourist attraction" for the morbidly curious to visit.
