You are looking at a massive outlier as well. Those people who are fortunate enough to be able to move within walking distance of their employment, and live in an area rich enough to have a wide variety of restaurants and shops in walking distance. This is just not practical when scaled to the masses. Many compromises would need to be made.
I visit dense cities all the time and have friends that live in them. Even though they are walk-able, we are always driving across the city to visit that one shop, restaurant or park.

The vast majority of Madrid and Paris and Berlin are walkable. Sure, there are expensive neighborhoods. But most people can afford to live in walkable areas of pretty much everywhere beside London, some Asian outliers, & anywhere in the US.
