You can have a walkable city without cramming tens of thousands of people into a square mile.

It is an answer, but in reality much less will achieve walkability.

It's about using horizontal space well, not so much about vertical space use.

a city like LA would be walkable if you replaced all of the car dealerships and auto shops with non-car-related development. You don't need that much density, just form.
