@Interesting - It wasnt like Congress came in and said "and now there will be suburbs".

Yes, there was historic rise in demand for new suburbs. (It was driven significantly by the GI Bill.)

But this plan is not for a newly built sub-burb that individuals chose to live in. This is a top-down plan to destroy existing neighborhoods w/ certain attributes and replace them with neighborhoods with different attributes.

You have compared this top-down plan to "force people to live spread out" to the current market driven (individual choice driven) demand for dense urban, transit oriented developments. Maybe you are now comparing it (this top-down UR plan) to the historic mid- 20th c. demand for new suburbs?
