What was one effect of the popularity of suburbia in the 1950s?

The suburbs became very popular during the 1950s because of post WWII economic prosperity as well as other factors. American cities were viewed as decaying, there were racial fears that led to a phenomenon called "white flight" of whites moving from cities to the suburbs because of racial fear, and also there was affordable housing to be found in the suburbs that provided more space and luxury for the average American family.

The popularity of suburbia in the 1950s led to 'white flight,' where many white families moved to suburban areas, resulting in a decline of urban tax bases and changes in political representation. This migration was driven by desires for better living conditions and concerns about urban issues. The shift also fostered rapid infrastructure development, particularly with the Interstate Highway System.
