Lived in Brasilia for about a decade. Hated the way the city was planned. Everyone needed cars, only a handful of local commerce close to you, no real downtown, everything spread out so people ended driving everywhere, and public transport was only for the poor who lived in surrounding cities, so the busses sucked big time (same thing with subway, was built to take workers in and out of the city, only run until 9 p.m. or earlier).
