Yeah. But until we deal with the affordability problem walkable cities aren't going to be a thing because it will be too expensive.

    It's the other way around. Cities in US are expensive now because there is not a lot of those compared to the amount of people who would like to live in them. If you allow builders to build more walkable cities they will become more affordable. And the scale is only part of it, the fact that city brings revenue to the government and suburbia isn't is a big part too.
