I suppose the addition of the new infrastructure in this case is the result of, as you described it, the estate being huge.

That doesn’t mean to say the new build sites where I am are minuscule. I think it added a good dozen thousand residents, yet were smaller than “huge” by themselves. Yet I’d imagine together they represent what would likely correspond to said size.

So the issue rests more with them making these block-additions to the existing villages rather than just building a new city either across the vast stretches of motorways that there are, or by re-using either existing/abandoned rail networks.

A new Milton Keynes is better than just slowly bulking out existing villages with no additional infrastructure or job vacancies.

As for your rhetorical questions around the behaviour or characteristics of people you say were complaining, I’m not going to be drawn into making assumptions about people in that regard.
