Amsterdam is trying hard to fight against tourism. They even plan to move the red light district and possibly demand dutch ID in coffeeshops. Nice to see that.

Amsterdam is trying hard to fight against tourism. They even plan to move the red light district and possibly demand dutch ID in coffeeshops. Nice to see that. 20M tourists per year for 1.2M city is too much.
- vadfa 5y agoYeah, who cares about those who make a living off tourism. They should learn to code.
- sAbakumoff 5y agoFortunately these people had their chance to learn new ways to earning wages during the pandemic :)
- vadfa 5y agoThe condescension and lack of humanity that some people here have is baffling.
- hnuser847 5y agoAnd you know every single person on this site likes to use their FAANG salaries to see the word, so the hate for tourists is oddly self-referential.
- sAbakumoff 5y agonot for me though, I quit travelling a long time ago after realizing that tourism is just another form of consumption that is essentially no different from purchasing useless stuff
- sAbakumoff 5y agohow does noticing that a lot of people changed their occupation during the pandemic connect to lack of humanity? I am puzzled.
- yunohn 5y agoWell-paid software engineers sneering at the general public for not changing careers during a global pandemic, exhibits an obvious lack of humanity.
- sAbakumoff 5y agoBut I said exactly the opposite: - a lot of people changed occupations - it's good for them
- vadfa 5y agoNo, that's not what you said.
