  • Just think 52 years later and most suburban whites still feel the same way as they did in 1957

  • I grew up in Levittown in the late 60' through the late 70's. We never loved our doors, left the keys in the car, etc. Try that now! Some say most of these people didn't know any better....or did they? Makes you wonder!

  • @PumpDog99 Personal crime incidents per 1000 people is 2. Compare that to an average of 2 per 1000 among the list of 100 best places to live in the US (See CNNMoney). Property crime incidents per 1000 people 17. Compare that to an average of 24 among the top 100 residences. Reading and Math test scores 26.9 and 28.6% above the state average respectively. Compared to 22.9% for the top 100 residences... long story short, you're an idiot.

  • Good for the Myers family!! Now, go watch "A Raisin in the Sun"....sad movie. I'm so glad I wasn't raised the believe the way most of these people do.

  • lol This is funny to see this. Live in Levittown all my life and it's becoming a ghetto. Mostly my theory is because not a race factor even though its much more multiracial today. But because of the collapse of a failed system. Corporations leaving America for cheaper labor and no production of products built here anymore. Leaves no jobs and a larger contributor factor to the scraps of life. But it really is a failed system all around, everyone suffers from America's economy as well.

  • Mrs.Meyers died 12-6-2011. Just yesterday

  • Read the comment about bloomsdale, fleetwing estates, and terrace. It's a war zone infested with drugs. They live like animals.

  • That lady was right tho... They did bring down the housing value

  • Ah, the good ol' days the Tea Party wants to take us back to.

    Yeah, the 1950s were America's golden decade... unless you were black.

  • @LuminaLover94

    Too bad everyone else suffer as a result(other countries)
