There are so many things wrong with that statement, my friend.

For one thing, in the last decade or two, there's not a clear trend in suburbanization. Inner ring suburbs have gotten poor at a faster rate than cities, actually, since there's been a recent in migration as downtowns have been revitalized.

But suburbs that aren't getting poorer aren't just bedroom communities anymore. In the bay area there are tons of companies setting up campuses outside SF proper, in Sunnyvale or Hayward or Cupertino and they would TOTALLY benefit from this type of zoning. Look to DC and you'll see the same thing. The Texan metros are so fragmented that the suburbs have never just strictly been residential, but a patchwork.

You can argue a little over whether this would have happened in the first place if cities had sensible zoning to begin with but as a matter of actual reality you're not even close.
