As an American, I worked in Tokyo for a while and I would 100% raise a family in any sized walkable town or city with mass transit. You could walk to several stores or restaurants, the train station, the river, or several parks within 10 minutes.
Can do that on my block. I often walk a few minutes to the train station.
They also have along with amazing transit, grocery stores within walking distance, like New York. Also, your preferences aren't everyone's preferences. Again, if you have the infrastructure to back it up, go for it. If you don't, work towards this, but take into account all of the possible problems with it. No one was wishing they lived in the city during the beginning of the pandemic.
