Unfortunately, the most walkable cities tend to be the most expensive but wouldn’t be if it was like that everywhere. Pre-WW2 America was so cool because it had a balance of walkable cities with cars. You could still take a train from some middle of no where town to the big city because the town was built on the railroad…
Chicago my goat. Walkable. Bikeable. Public transitable. And not too bank breaking as long as you're willing to settle with an apartment, coop, or condo
I do wish the town I lived in was more walkable. You can but it's a bit big and sprawling residential areas so it takes a long time. Peninsula with most retail at the tip doesn't help. Cycling around is pretty good though.

Imagine how much money you would have if you didn't have to own a car

As someone living in a walkable city not owning a car, it solves about 79 problems rather than 19.
