> Suburbs were invented with one goal: survive and win an all-out nuclear war
This seems historically illiterate, because suburbs came before the Cold War.

But suburbanisation properly became a thing with policies of destroying public transport, and redlining that while invented in 1934, started to get massively applied around 1947. Destruction of public transport made living in inner cities more difficult and in suburbs, relatively easier - and redlining made people feel compelled to move out out inner cities.

Ok but that's not when it was invented, which is what you said.
