Another PBS documentary had led me to believe that the Ticky Tacky song was about none other than Philly's own Levitt Town. (sp?) America's first "suburb".
Reynold's song "Little Boxes" isn't specifically about Levittown, but certainly applies, since Levittown is the mother of all suburban sprawl.
In defense of Levittown, it gave thousands of young couples a home of their own, for about $10 grand. They didn't have to live with the in-laws anymore.
