I'm not exactly a suburbs for everyone kind of guy, and I would end all subsidies if I was in charge. But this comment is intellectually dishonest.
You're assuming cause and effect when all you have is correlation.
You say "suburbs caused downtown areas to atrophy when people left."
couldn't it just as easily be
"Suburbs sprung up so people leaving downtown areas that were dying had somewhere to go"?
