Actually one of the best theories is that most of these people were already in the older suburbs and moved out to these newer exurbs.
This in turn made the older suburbs more liberal, as they were more likely to be replaced by minorities, who were more likely to go Democrat.
If you got rid of the exurbs and tried to force these people back in, they would make the cities and older suburbs more more conservative.
It would also drive home prices up considerably and create a greater expanse between upper and lower classes (see California, Oregon, New York on this, for example)
