If you want to dive into the utter failure that is/was the suburban experiment, I highly recommend the book Strong Towns published by the nonprofit of the same name. Not Just Bikes has a good overview series on it, which how I found it.

The very, very oversimplified tldr is that suburbia is a giant ponzi scheme that's on the verge (relatively speaking, within the next couple decades) of collapsing in on itself.
