It already is too late for much of the of mass suburbanization in the US. They are not finanically sustainable. https://www.strongtowns.org/the-growth-ponzi-scheme https://www.strongtowns.org/the-growth-ponzi-scheme A bit of a read in a 5 part series but well worth it. Strongtowns.org refers to suburban sprawl as the "growth ponzi scheme". Low density sprawl requires more infrastructure with less density to pay for it. The density of suburbs can never hope to pay for the renewal of roads, water, sewers, schools without massive transfer payments from denser areas. By the time the bill comes and the illusion of growth has stopped, the center of development has already moved out to the next ring of farms to pave over for subdivisions, shopping plazas and highway expansions.
