Part of the problem, American cities, unlike European ones, had their major development occur during the industrial age.........meaning lots of smoke and noise from factories. Cities were unpleasant places to live

In some ways yes but the big cities were low cost and a magnet for those who seeked opportunity. I still maintain the migration out began when the interstate highway was being built and nice new tract subs like Levittown started sprouting up for young growing families needing more space after the war. Seemed you had great transportation networks in place within the city limits of the sprawling cities like LA the first half of last century. Street cars which worked wonders in transporting workers around town were in essence abandoned by the end of the 1950's.
