@pconley22 I know, right? It's truly fascinating to see how Levittown or any other town was created. The speed at which they do it is extraordinary. Very interesting stuff!

@ajsholdings: Do you like to come to this video to talk trash or what?

You talked trash over 5 months ago,and here you are doing it again...How old are you? What's your problem?

Say something nice,or shush your mouth.

PS: Please explain yourself... How is every human in Levittown a loser?

The big crime was all the old historical houses which were bulldozed to make room for the mass production houses. There was room for both, but not to Levitt. He actually thought a jubilee was better looking than an old stone farmhouse.

Everyone who grew up in Levittown should read David Kushner's book "Levittown: Two Families, One Tycoon, the the Fight for Civil Rights in America's Legendary Suburb" about the systematic and very deliberate racist policies that existed to exclude African Americans from purchasing homes in Levittown which was a clear violation of the American Constitution. I grew up on High Rd-Highland Park from 1960 to 1973 and I never new this shameful part of Levittown history.

Is that lost little boy THE Mark Levin? The radio talk show host?? Can't be...I guess, because he was born in 1957.

People had work and also had a good chance of becoming a home owner! Didn't live there but knew many people who did. Part of the American dream! Nothing wrong with that!

Its great to have this video. My grandfather brought a house in the holly hill section for $8,000 in 1954. MY family still owns it and still got the same phone number since 1954. History

"Patrolman Templeton finds that lost dogs and children take up a fair amount of his time." Yeah, it's probably still that way today.

While the suburbs leave much to be desired, it's pretty impressive that we could mass produce entire communities like that.

@dankish I grew up in Levittown and when people called me a “Levittown loser”, I wore it as a badge of honor because in reality Levittowners were the “good guys”. And that includes the three black families who finally were allowed to live on my street.

I grew up in Levittown. (Mill Creek Falls and Indian Creek) I came of age in the turbulent 60’s and 70’s. Levittown turbulent? Not until June,1979 when we had no gas and decided to party in the middle of 5 Points. The police riot lasted for two nights. That weekend I was proud to be a Levittowner and a stoner.
