I get that not everybody wants to live an urban hellhole. I object to certain policies that have become so cemented that they're difficult to dislodge, policies which encourage suburbanization even in the urban hellhole, but if people want to live in the burbs good for them.
But 'late suburbia' is often truly horrible. Development isn't just auto-centric, it's hostile to any other means of getting around. Walking or bicycling isn't just inconvenient, it's literally impossible. And driving often isn't too great either. Single access road development removes neighborhoods from anything resembling a public street grid, and dumps all through traffic onto an ever increasingly congested thoroughfare. There's no way to widen that road enough.
