84. Actually that's not true...
at the height of the trolley system, a person could get on one in Brooklyn and with the correct connections could travel all the way to Detroit.

The concepts of suburbs is not a post war invention. The first Suburbs were developed around end stops of the trolley lines. It's once the lines were ripped out and zoning laws put in to favor cars, that people started moving farther and farther away from cities to live.
