Americans only love the college experience because it's the only time in their lives they live in walkable communities— 𝖆𝖟𝖚𝖑𝖎𝖙𝖔 (@Bro_Neill) January 10, 2021
I hope a good portion of them would be bulldozed and turned into farms, sorta like what happened in parts of Detroit. Or at least turn all the lawns into vegetable gardens and orchards.
Eventually I'd hope that we could intentionally re-wild some previously settled areas
I mean other than the very obviously wrong thing with the culture, I don't really see that much wrong with The Villages. It lets senior citizens who are retired and no longer need to work still life a life of dignity among friends and have an active lifestyle. I mean that's a very special case, but I can see the mbeing retooled into different things when the times arrive.
Honestly without constant maintenance so many suburban buildings - the big box stores, tract homes, warehouses, office parks, will deteriorate incredibly fast to the point it be a herculean effort just to haul it all away because it won't be livable.
Lots of infill, ADUs and multifamily units all over. As the suburb houses age, multifamily units will come in to replace them so areas will urbanize over time. This won't apply everywhere, some suburbs would be left to decay while others are invested in. Obviously there would need to be a program to establish people in the chosen places.

Stack half of the houses on top of the other half
Do it Inception style
No need to destroy them all, just demolish the ones that stand in the way of actual projects.

If we remove the toxic materials and recyclables then they could be left as animal shelters
Nuked of course. Both during and after the revolution.

Age segregation is not super great, but you're right, a repurpose could do a lot there.
If they are able to have friendships and an active lifestyle, why remove them from society?

Build up, buy out the suburb homes, demolish them, and build community rec centers, schools, universities, hospitals, etc.
___There's a ton of great ideas on sprawlrepair.com
