Yes, suburbs abandoned for cities that are entirely built around car-centric infrastructure.
The walkability of the US is abysmal everywhere except for maybe a handful of major metropolitan areas, and even then those are lacking.
Also, assuming that people can even afford to live within the city if they can’t even afford to live in the suburbs of that city. More likely people will be pushed out to rural towns with lower CoL and become even more isolated and thus car dependent
In like, 2 or 3 major US cities maybe, and even then you’re still having to deal with abysmal, anti-pedestrian infrastructure.
The rest of the country it is incredibly dangerous and sprawled out to the point that walkability is infeasible.
And this is all assuming someone can even remotely afford to live within city limits with how prohibitively expensive CoL is getting
Drive up the cost of energy enough and those suburbs will be abandoned as more people move into cities.
