I generally with you. Do you have examples of towns that you think pull this off well?

Most towns I think of as pleasant in the US (I’m mostly familiar with western Massachusetts, central CA, and the border towns of NJ/PA) are still basically inaccessible by any mode of transportation other than a car outside of downtown. I don’t believe they would score high on your scale, but maybe I’m missing something!

I've never lived in a town, but I'm thinking premodern ones where everyone had to walked. Or through in bikes and 5x it.

No reason with enough carbon and land value tax the towns in the places you mention couldn't recover though. Plenty of nice Berkshire and foothill downtowns.
