Yeah, but both can be true. It can be possible to build a walkable suburb with SFHs and a downtown. That's how older suburbs in Baltimore, Northern NJ, DC and others were built. My biggest issue with suburbs is that they are all built around the car being the ONLY method of transport. Public transit options are essentially non-existent and walking is extremely impractical due to everything being planned around cars. When you combine this with the suburbs being cheaper than living the city, you get people who are, rightfully, pissed about the conditions they need to live in.
