You live in Amsterdam... sorry to say, but that is privileged as hell. Housing prices are becoming insane even outside the Randstad (I’m a 95 percentile earner too) so if you own property in the Randstad and think ‘the only sign you have it good your house is not tiny’ - take off the horse blinders.
- mcv 6y agoLike I said, that is the big difference, but it's also the only difference. And the fact that living in Amsterdam is so privileged is also not a good sign. It's not good if cities become ghettos for the rich. And with Brexit, there's likely to be an influx of bankers driving house prices even further out of the reach of most people. Good for me I guess (at least if we ever decide to leave the city and sell; otherwise it just increases taxes), but I don't think that's good for the city.
