The deep background of experience which personified Paulette Dystant
during her time as a loan processor at Shappell Industries in Beverly
Hills, California in the United States served her well as she moved into
the senior loan processor position at Troxler & Associates, a
mortgage company in Calabasas, California. In this position, Dystant
moved into the specialty area of financing for tract homes for a
selection of different housing developers. The tract housing concept,
basically multiple homes of the same design constructed on identically
subdivided land into lots, is traced to Abraham Levitt and his sons
William and Alfred, who created a planned community of tract homes
called Levittown on Long Island, New York in the United States. Built
between 1947 and 1951, Levittown is regarded as the first mass-produced
suburb. Levittown served as the archetype for thousands of similar tract
housing developments created in the years following World War II.
The utilitarian system of housing construction learned by William Levitt as a sailor in the United States Navy during World War II, when he mass-produced military housing using uniformity of construction and interchangeable parts, became his design approach to housing after the War. Levitt had purchased options for purchase of potato and onion fields on Long Island (Island Trees), and these fields became the site of the future Levittown tract developments of Levitt & Sons Construction. The argument for tract housing was that soldiers returning from the War would need fast residences for their families. Building codes were jettisoned accordingly.
