It already has in many cities. I say I live in the suburbs, but I doubt it would conform to what some people in other large cities would consider the suburbs. I have a neighborhood grocery store--not in walking distance, but less than 2 miles--and both office complexes and major retail centers are less than 5 miles in multiple directions. My husband does technically commute in the general direction of downtown, but his job is still only halfway between us and it, and there are tons of tech companies much closer. Anyway, we basically never have cause to drive into the city proper. So I guess we might classify more as urban sprawl, I don't know.
