Personally I don't live there because it stinks. The air quality sucks thanks to the airports and the legion of mopeds (why haven't we banned 2-stroke engines?)

Live in one of the satellite towns and commute with the train. You'll have a proper quality of life and commuting here is easy.
- Matticus_Rex 7y agoCompared to what? Compared to the vast majority of cities, the air quality in Amsterdam is pretty good.
- radicalbyte 7y agoThe three big cities here have bad air quality compared to the less densely populated areas which are still within commuting distance with public transport. I live about an hour commute from Amsterdam in an area where the air quality is considerably better than it is in the cities.

- radicalbyte 7y agoThat's a great start, but it's only Amsterdam. It should be nationwide. Those engines are worse than even big old diesel engines.
