>>13611725This is actually completely wrong.
What you are describing with developers buying farmland on the outskirts of a growing city and subdividing and building detached single family homes for commuters was common for decades but less so now.
Urban areas have evolved and today a lot of that kind of suburb that was build in the 1950s-1990s have been completely surrounded by urban growth and are now very desirable areas. Nice houses with decent yards but a short commute to businesses in the urban area surrounding them.
A LOT of developers are now buying those single family homes, tearing them down, getting the lot rezoned for higher density housing, and then build a ~6 unit apartment building on the lot. This kind of development ruins the neighborhood but is much more profitable than building a single family home.
That's the driving force behind the cure push for loosening zoning laws across the country. Leftist kikes also support this because they see the suburbs as a domain of conservative White people that needs to be diversified and enriched with poor minorities. Instead of one upper middle class White family living on each lot, there will be 6 nigger/spic/chink families living there.
These two forces are actively shilling and spreading memes about how millennials/zoomers will never be able to buy a home unless we create more "affordable housing," anti-suburb threads, threads about how we need to eliminate "stroads" and create higher density communities that are supposedly more walkable and can eliminate the need for cars, etc.
