Answer:

Depression and war had created a postwar housing crisis and to help make decent, affordable housing available, the federal government passed laws that encouraged suburban housing development. Racial fears, affordable housing, and the desire to leave decaying cities were all factors that prompted many Americans to flee to the suburbia outside cities.
