Homework help with Levittown NY?

Levittowns (in NY and PA) resulted in the first suburbs to emerge in America. Also your first sentence doesn't make much sense since the GI's who were buying new houses weren't unemployed during the Great Depression and the 50's were a time of tremendous economic boom during Eisenhower's administration. Think of all the things suburbs created like the American dependence on cars and resultantly oil, the quality of life that wouldn't be replicated in the world until the 70's, and this safe little cradles of neighborhoods became the homes for the baby-boomer generation, many of whom would transform their ideals from these towns into the New Left and the hippie culture a few decades later
