Levittown, NY is widely recognized as the birthplace of modern American suburbia. Levittown was the birthplace of truly “planned” communities where every detail from roads and streets, sewers, property lines, and even schools, churches and shopping is all preplanned before the first shovel full of soil is turned. At its peak, a new home was being built every 16 minutes. Mostly unskilled labor was used, and each worker was trained to do one highly specific job that they applied house to house to house. What was the inspiration involved in this development that transformed American and eventually global living for millions of people?

As strange as it may seem, this was largely divine inspiration. The motive and agenda of the interlopers has always been to concentrate humans into dense, close-living populations. This is for purposes of power and control and ease of manipulation, to keep an eye on them and to involve them in large groups with various manipulations and surreptitious influencing of their thoughts and beliefs as well as activities. The idea of suburbia was a divine response to this siren call to attract people from rural settings with the shining glitter of the modern, bustling metropolis and give them something in between where they may be close to the action of the city center but still have some breathing room, with the housing spread out a bit with individual family dwellings, and not living spaces stacked on top of one another, reaching into the sky but resulting in a potentially stultifying high density. The way this could be orchestrated was to couple it with the efficiencies of modern approaches to manufacture and fabrication, by employing the assembly line to house construction. This made it cost-effective and lucrative for developers who could create large housing tracts and provide dwellings for an exploding population as the numbers of humans rose ever higher and the post‑war period of calm and renewed prosperity created large demand for affordable housing in an attractive setting. And again, for many people who were making the transition from more rural environments to begin with, and naturally appreciated a more gentle, user-friendly environment that was the promise of the suburban housing developments rather than the ubiquitous concrete and steel and asphalt surfaces of the modern city. This collaboration was successful in providing a kind of buffer zone that was a haven for a large population, enabling them to have a more natural environment, but still enjoy a feasible commute to the workplace, and has been proven to have lasting value and continues to be in demand, particularly with the growing flight from urban centers because of the frequent violent demonstrations and uncertain safety with the civil unrest that is growing currently.
