Life in the Suburbs

Life in the suburbs was particularly easy for folks who were Caucasian and had a working man in the house with kids and a good income.  A good amount of people moved to the suburb of Levittown, New York, which was the first mass-produced suburb. They either wanted to escape from the crime and hustle of the city, or wanted to regain the sense of normalcy, especially with the men coming back from the war. Houses were amazingly priced at cheap prices and spiked the home ownership rate from 61% to 81%. Of course, minorities were never favored, either. Religious covenants were also connected in suburbs. So much for perfect, huh?
