In Europe walkability is great in cities but you usually pay a premium on housing because land is scarce.

You can walk in the suburbs but there’s often no where local to go because the shops, schools, and workplaces need a level of scale to be efficient.

You'd be surprised. Housing in Berlin is cheaper by far than housing in the least walkable cities in Canada.

I meant a premium for being central compared to 20km outside the city centre for a similar property.
