Suburbs also bring in outside resources. The difference is that distributing those resources and collecting waste within the city is less costly than distributing resources and collecting waste within the suburb.

Suburbs may very well be the worst of both worlds, being more spread out but still not spread out enough to be fairly self sufficient.

Almost nobody are or want to be "fairly self sufficient". The proportion of people even trying are a rounding error.
