Also, responding to the racism (embedded in American culture, in a sense, through the propaganda of big businesses chasing profits in, shall we say, agricultural interests) of the white American middle class. As with lebensraum, the American suburban experiment doesn't make a whole lot of sense outside of a hysterical need to ethnically cleanse one's neighborhood. Older people who live in cities and planned, theme park-like communities - which facilitate car-less, low-distance daily social activity outside the home - tend to do better.
