By 1960 a third of the nation's population lives in suburbs, an unprecedented demographic shift. The mass production of housing like Levittown creates what some critics call "architectural monotony." The industrial approach and lower price, however, do allow lower middle class families to escape from the crowded urban environment. Physical sprawl also allows greater social distances to take root and intensifies levels of segregation. Suburbs are criticized for being all white, especially when housing covenants make it impossible for people to sell to people of color or for these buyers to get loans.
