So if you let those suburbs fail and wipe out, then what happens to the people living within them?

From my comment:

> Let them fail and wipe them out. Instead of wasting money trying to sustain a broken system, provide resources to facilitate moving to mid and high-density housing in the central city.

Right, so there are two reasons why suburbs would die in the first place:

1. Businesses evict themselves from it, usually due to:

2. People being unable to afford anything else.

So what happens when you have hundreds of thousands of people who literally can't afford to move?
