All those people complaining about Amsterdam getting more expensive, while they are pricing out the native Dutch people 😅😂

[AndreUtrecht]

Yes, as someone already pointed out: Amsterdam is part of the biggest megalopolis of Europe, the Randstad: consisting of the 4 biggest cities in The Netherlands: Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Den Haag and Utrecht. And all the smaller towns in the conglomerate . So The Randstad as a whole can be compared to bigger cities like London, Paris or even Berlin. In between the big cities you have 'The Green Heart' with all the smaller towns. Whereas in a city like London you would have all the important institutions in one city: Government, Embassies, Harbour, transportation hub etc etc... in The Randstad it is spread all over these cities. With public transport (or by car of course) it is easy to commute between these cities. Many people live in one of the big cities and work in the other. So when you are thinking of moving to The Netherlands don't just look at Amsterdam for living, even if your job is in the city of Amsterdam. Compared to other large cities all over the world, the distances traveled while let's say living in Utrecht (where I live) and working in Amsterdam, Rotterdam or Den Haag are peanuts. Within the hour I can be from my home to almost any address in The Randstad, even by public transport. And even cities like Den Bosch or Eindhoven could be considered for living and then work in one of the other cities. So when you want to move look also to other cities. Population wise The Netherlands is a middle sized country bigger than for example Ireland, Portugal, Hungary, Switzerland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Austria etc etc etc, but in km2 it is small. And there's a dense population. It is the most dense country in the whole of Europe and even in the world it ranks in the top 5, density wise? Not sure, but it is up there. The Netherlands has an excellent infrastructure. So where you would commute within a big city like London or let's say Istanbul for over an hour between home and work. In The Netherlands you could be living in one town or city and work in another.

Rain everyday...omg can't stand bad weather, and the older I get 😢

This winter was dreadful indeed. Although it wasn’t really a winter more a continuing autumn. We had a good summer in 2023 all the way to October, then the weather turned instantly and we had rain every day (except 4) since, until the end of June 2024. No spring also and summer started finally in July. We just skipped winter and spring.

Amsterdam isn't big, it's small...
The city is part of the Randstad, most dense populated area in Europe, an agglomeration of many cities, where half the Dutch population lives. About nine million people. Distance between the Randstad and the next most populated area, Brabants City Fork, is about fifteen miles. In that agglomeration about four million people live. Again fifteen miles south is where the Antwerp agglomeration starts with over three million people, connected to Brussels with three million as well. To the east, there is the Ruhrgebiet in Germany with about twenty million more. Simply said; within two hours car drive from Utrecht, you can reach about sixty million people.
So with an area ten times extended NYC you find three times more inhabitants.
Not even talking about the proximity to Paris, London and Berlin. Travelling by train you can have breakfast in Rotterdam, lunch in Paris and dinner in London.
Yep, Amsterdam is very small indeed...

There is not such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing.

Guess he still hasn't got 'up north' a few hundred kilometres further, wouldn't see the sun for a long time. Guess he still thinks the world is flat.
