Postwar suburbia was designed for cars, not people.
At first, they were isolated enough that kids could still be kids, while their parents went crazy. Then the kids weren't even allowed to roam free and "be kids." And the suburbs and their homes got so close that there might not be trees in the yards, let alone a grove to go play in. And so, at the same time these youth demographics were marketed to for the first time ever, they were also stifled and smothered out of their autonomy.
