The stuff I read about Brussels recently on the news tells a different story.
To give one example:
"Brussels has gone yet further. From May 4, the Belgian capital’s entire city core will be a priority zone for cyclists and pedestrians, one in which cars cannot exceed a speed of 20 kph and must give way in the roads to people on foot or on bikes. This comes on top of an ongoing pedestrianization plan designed to make Brussels’ core a more attractive place for people on foot."

- StavrosK 6y agoYes, but Brussels is not Antwerp.
- rv-de 6y agoWell, that is true. I misread that.
- PeterStuer 6y agoBrussels is run by a socialist/green coalition and has been doing great things for sustainable mobility. Antwerp is run by a populist extreme right neoliberal party.
- NicoJuicy 6y ago"extreme right" with no proof? Vlaams Belang is extreme right, not N-VA which has the mayor of Antwerp. You are listening too much to the leftish Wallonian controlled state media ( cfr. Stéphane Moreau with Nethys / Tecteo on Wikipedia) They just think the south takes too much advantage ( eg. with 4 million people they have the same voting % in the country as the north with 6 million people). While the "right" north has to subsidize the "socialist" south for more than 40 years without no improvement at all ( eg. just check the unemployment %) Highest criminality rates in Belgium are in Brussels, Molenbeek, ... with also, no improvement in the foreseeable future. Station north is a public train station where everyone stays away from ( too dangerous ). https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/St%C3%A9phane_Moreau_(homme_politique) https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/St%C3%A9phane_Moreau_(homme_po... https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nethys https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nethys https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enodia https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enodia All financial political scandals are involved with leftisch politicians: Publifin, La Carolorégienne, Anne-Marie Lizin, Michel Daerden, Van Cauwenberghe ( Charleroi), Agusta-Dassault, ... And last but not last, specific for Brussels: Samusocial where Yvan Mayeur ( the ex-mayor of Brussels) was involved with Fraud and intimidation, with their "non-profit for homeless people", LOL! It's despicable! https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samusocial_Brussels https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samusocial_Brussels I'd prefer Antwerp above Brussels every single day of the year.
