> I think Madison is a heavily planned city

LOLNO Madison is complete mess because it's on an isthmus. Also the state capitol is right in the middle of the isthmus, so all of the streets there have to go around the capitol grounds. And then there's Schenk's Corners for example, just a total nightmare. The entire city is going in every direction at once.

The only way you can figure out how to get around Madison is to live here for decades (which I've done), via rote route memorization.

Before Madison I actually lived in downtown Minneapolis, and I always appreciated the orderliness of its streets.
