The correct answer is "the growth of suburbs and the increased affordability of cars"

After the war, the US manufacturing economy changed from war-related items to consumer goods, including cars. By the end of the 1950's, there were more than 6.7 million cars registered in the US - it more than doubled since the beginning of the decade. Land developers began to sell land outside the cities limits and with investment in highways and bridges suburbs grew rapidly.
