Emphatically not! *I have a friend who lives in Milton Keynes. *He

That reflects what I had heard from others who have lived there.

Of particular note is that fact that the road system was designed with
the correct capacity for the population density. *In the UK that is
hardly the norm.

So... kind of a mini-LA then?

:-) Los Angeles was actually built around a transit system, The
Pacific Electric and its poorer cousin, The LA Ry. The Freeways came
later. Uncontrolled expansion of the built up area has meant that the
road infrastructure, at the core, can never keep up.
