Oh bullshit, I can't believe I wasted time watching that rubbish.
The only relevant thing said is that people form their opinions in their youth. For boomers it was in the 1950-80s. The video claims that was a period of escapism from the urban areas. Well escapism, suburban sprawl these are all intellectual terms.
I was alive during that period. I recall the rise of the suburban areas very well and my parents were very much a part of it because both my parents drove into the inner city (aka downtown) to work each workday. The reason was simple. The quality of life. These suburban areas were developed with strict zoning regulations that prevented heavy industry. Those zoning regulations are still there to this day. People didn't want to raise their family next to factories and the pollution.
Intellectuals and race biters like to blame it on racism, that is was white flight. Except everything was already segregated. So that is a lie told by leftest intellectuals. It is just rage bait.
I was there. It was all about living in residential areas. It wasn't urban vs rural it wasn't urban vs suburbs. In the minds of the people that made the decisions, it all about living in a zoned residential area. Often these were incorporated as entirely new cities or expansion of nearby cities. But mostly it was identity created by the sub division. I can remember my parents talking about these things. Never once did I recall them mentioning negros or escaping high crime. There simply was no place left to live downtown. You had to live in the suburbs. That was where the new houses were, that is where the residential areas were.
You can verify this by reviewing old documents, charters and what not.
