Suburbs aren’t the problem. There are walkable neighborhoods with all that stuff. I live in pre-war streetcar suburb that doesn’t feel like post-war but is mostly single family homes. Part of increasing density is making those things you want possible. My feeling is that most of the effect of upzoning will be felt in close-in walkable neighborhoods because they are most desirable and easier to upgrade. Also, there is a wide range of multi-family housing from giant towers, mid-height apartments, and N-plexs. Most proposals are to mix “missing middle” housing in with single family. A lot of older neighborhoods already have some. A few triplexes are not going to cause problems. Around here, they are allowing 6-story apartments along major roads. They work well because there is good public transit.
