Are you sure decoupling (alone) has the desired effect here? Given the ‘Suburban Dream’, society might sprawl even better, because there would be less constraints then.
In my understanding, suburbia might become cultural (ie. people don’t arrange themselves with the sprawl longer, they embrace and dream of it) once a certain threshold of sprawl or its countermeasures is achieved.

Does it matter though if they don’t have to drive as much anymore? Isn’t it still better
Short term yes
