Yea that is actually a sincerely interesting topic. I remember listening to an interview once where the urban planner was theorising that within a generation or two, suburbs would become lower and working class communities ("ghettos") and inner cities would be gentrified back to the middle class. His logic was that the suburbs are far away from amenities and places of employment and that the houses themselves are 1) larger, and thus more matched to the generally larger families of lower economic classes and 2) generally of fairly shoddy construction which might encourage current middle class families to move on instead of hitching their ride to an ever-deepening money pit. Part of his argument was that as cost of living continues to rise, those smaller houses closer to city cores would once again raise in attractiveness to young professionals etc. I mean there are obvious holes to this, but it makes a certain degree of sense.
