From Chapter 2:?From the Rise of Suburbs to the Great Reset

"The story of American suburban development starts logically enough: America¡¯s earliest suburbs, spawned in the 1850s, made it possible for the wealthy to work by day in crowded, noisy commercial centers like Philadelphia, New York, and Boston, yet board a train to escape to new, semirural suburbs like Radnor, New Rochelle, or Brookline. Equally important, these ¡°garden suburbs¡± promised a return to the sense of community in the idealized small towns and English villages to which many affluent Americans aspired. Lively ¡°downtowns¡± developed around suburban train stations and became the focus of small-town community life from Wellesley (outside Boston) to Evanston (outside Chicago)."
