You mean like 15 minute cities? We don't need classical infrastructure as we once did when considering the reduction in the costs of solar, wind, and in many places accessible geothermal energy, plus septic tanks, water table access, and satellite based internet, we no longer require massive right of way projects to build these places. Initial investment in locality based infrastructure creates the market; expansion through time with connected systems, if so desired, would then be an increased capital cost over time, not an upfront requirement. We can generate competition in building whole new cities, like corporations are attempting to do today, which can help stabilize and reduce the growing costs of rent and housing in major metropolitan areas. It absolutely would have an impact - just not when you construct a fallacious form for it to exist in as a failure by design; which is most of commercial and residential real estate given zoning requirements and the massive middle-man industry surrounding it.
