Answer 2

Because thousands of returning GI's from WW I and WWII did not want to move in and live with their parents, they wanted to be independent, start their own lives and careers, have their own houses and their own families. Suburbs were built to provide houses for returning GI's returning home, starting families, becoming doctors, lawyers, engineers, mechanics, factory workers, machinists, and government employees. Cities did not have enough apartments for all these families, and so multiple housing units, parks, and schools were built to accomodate the population explosion.
