One could hope. Maybe an investment in rail to those areas and more mixed use zoning to turn them back into old train stop towns were.

The cost of the house won't reduce by more than the cost of a BEV though.

Detroitisation but not because of loosing employers + degradation of city services but because it’s impractical / too expensive to live in the suburbs. Interesting idea.

I think the time will come when people will be forced to take alternative commutes.

Alternative commutes do not exist in most of USA.
