So the city isn’t walkable, then
Comment on Well done, all of you!

Define walkable.
I can walk to literally everything I need in my daily life except my job, and the share of residents lucky enough to work in the city can walk or bike to those too. My city scores incredibly high in both walk and bike scores; this drives real estate prices up, which drives employers to the suburbs, and—wouldn’t you know it!—the cheapest places to build office parks are situated away from the commuter transit.

except my job
That’s not walkable. The definition is not that difficult

Let me just walk my 315lb welder to work each morning. Can I borrow your kids radio flyer after you walked them to school?

Pester your politicians that they forgot a part of the walkable city. Either a walkable workplace or work from home.
