1m houses? It’s about 10 years that they promise things like that.
Iirc, the housing problem was known for decades already… And politicians have promised solutions. It’s become worse now. That’s not a situation unique to the Netherlands though.
Another, imo more disturbing signal in major traditional cultural cities is the gentrifying aspects of neighbourhoods, were local politics decided to take cleanup " affordable " neighbourhoods, and oust the creative more marginalized groups, without providing proper alternatives.
Haven’t read too deep in that issue lately tbh, but thats what I’ve hearing in all major cities, like Amsterdam, Berlin etc etc
Those cities used to be a magical cooking pot of cultures . I miss that.
Amsterdam (and the whole Randstad) are full of expats and immigrants. Despite the dreams of the right wing, there is probably 1/10 - 1/5 of the population that doesn’t fit in the “pure Dutch” ethnicity.
