A secondary source excerpt about the U.S. economy after 1945 notes that wartime savings, pent-up consumer demand, and federal policies such as the GI Bill helped fuel a long boom. Rising real wages and expanding credit made mass consumption more attainable, while highway construction and mortgage guarantees encouraged suburban homebuilding and commuting. The author argues that these developments reshaped daily life by tying prosperity to car ownership, single-family housing, and new retail patterns.
Which post-1945 development best supports the author's claim about prosperity becoming linked to suburban living and automobiles?
