Nope, it was entirely about Gargoyle. He started it. As fro Steve, I am not really up on criminology even the economic kind, nor am I a friend of Arthur Levitt either. I have met one of them.
More quizzical answers from our jbcarioca. Arthur Levitt was the SEC commissioner under Clinton. I do not know what he does now. You can google that if you are interested. William Levitt built the eponymous towns on Long Island and Pennsylvania. He was clever. He did not pay the workers by the hour. Only for the piece of work they did. This was a way to reduce costs. Halberstam wrote a great chapter about Levitt in his book "The Fifties".
I have NFI how you found a picture of a woman holding a Beaver flag over an airplane. Google really is a wonderful thing. She looks rather happy the Beaver will be levitating. Oh, and 2 Beavers are much better than one. Headin' down to the Hoser Hut as we speak.
Levittown is known as an early example of an attempt at city planning and an early suburban development. Now it doesn't look so successful but it arguably changed how American lives. It was a 1950s icon.
I chose not to include my beaver in the current election for my next avatar. However, you still have 24 hours to vote among the carefully vetted candidates.
Still is an icon. Still is a bastion on Eastern US middle class society. It has been ridiculed because of the bland sameness of it all. How else could all of those ex-GI's have afforded houses of their own? It had, and has, a better quality of life than lost of the surrounding areas IMO. I do not want to live there, but I do think it was iconic.
