What americans seem to never get is that the architecture and centuries of history that led to these hyper packed walkable cities are where the main value of the eurocity experience lies. The fact that everything is nearby is just a bonus.
We also have malls in the outskirts where you have more choice for cheaper, and most middle class people with kids go there because they have to be careful with their spending. When you're young and/or decently rich you just don't bother.
The main selling point of the city life (I mean even small cities) is the aesthetics and the local library, theatre, opera etc.
What you're talking about is merely another flavor of soulless.
