What would you call people moving from central Amsterdam out to Haarlem, Amstelveen, Almere, Zaandam, Purmerend as soon as they have kids?
- akvadrako 10y agosub-urban sprawl ? But also, the Randstad is like one big city - it's only 30 minutes from Amsterdam to Utrecht / Leiden / Haarlem / Purmerend.
- skrebbel 10y agoI can tell you've never seen American suburbs :-) Almere might count, if you squint your eyes a bit, but all those other towns are really true towns in their own right. They have a historical center, things to do, shopping streets (instead of a just a big mall), a soul of sorts. Mountain View is a miserably sad joke compared to Haarlem.
