Definitely. Many suburbs need to return to farmland, we have paved over most of our prime farmland for shitty, rent seeking suburbs. Dense cities are cheaper to live in, cost less to maintain for everyone involved, and give people back time that is currently stolen from them during the average commute. You also end up with better infrastructure, lower taxes, and usually a healthier and happier population in dense cities. Suburban and exurban slum development with 1 to 3 stories and a 1 to 2 hour commute is destined to die, its just a matter of how and when. Detroit is one failure mode, while Livingston, TX is another (tax base could never support the infrastructure built), though the latter case is very common.
