I think you're focusing optimizing lifestyle to suit a desired transit style (public transit and walking), while the historical development mindset was to optimize transit style for a desired lifestyle (suburban living).

I just want to walk and ride my bike places without dying, and be allowed to build a 5 story apartment building near transit without people from miles away coming and yelling at me in city hall not to.

But.. a lot of people don't desire suburban living. They don't get much choice because those neighborhoods are illegal to build.

They definitely exist, but I'm skeptical that there are enough of them to significantly reverse current car-centric development patterns.
