Problem with "walkable" is it means you've gotta cram ~~5 million~~ tens of thousands of people into a couple of square miles; and I hate seeing people -- I love seeing cars.
If you want the opposite of walkable, move to Phoenix, AZ.
If I want the opposite of walkable, why would I move into such a population dense area? If I wanted the opposite of walkable, I'd move to the middle of nowhere, with nothing around; not one of the most population dense cities in America...
Phoenix is literally the 5th most populated city in the USA
Okay, so you're not complaining about the walkable part, you're complaining about the city part.
Even then, it's easier to be a recluse in a city where you can get everything delivered and never leave your home.
If they move out to the middle of nowhere, they'll never see a car again, and will have no where to go anyway, so what's the point if they have to drive an hour to get groceries where there will definitely be people.
