I would love for more of the housing you are talking about to exist, but one has to deal with reality as it currently exists even while working to change it.
Yes, that's true. But you do also need to work to change it, or it won't change.
Unfortunately that probably means that if you have a city job, for now you'll be stuck with either long commutes, living right in the city, or expensive housing in the remaining walkable suburbs.
Or you can move somewhere that has already figured this out. :) But I understand that's out of reach for many people; it's out of reach for me.
