After World War II and with the booming US economy came new developments and neighborhoods outside of smelly, crime infested cities across the country. In addition, the Eisenhower Interstate System, along with connecting urban highways, facilitated what became known as "white flight". As a result, those with enough sense hightailed it away from the "blast zones" into safe, quiet, clean, and well kept communities. Now, with the constant cries of "tear down the urban highways" and attempts to bring back the "glory days" of cities pre-1950s, we see the real agenda here. To make it so inconvenient for people who WORK in the Downtown core to commute to and from their nice suburban neighborhoods and be forced back into the city.
