OK, but every single other town of any size in the Netherlands has an area comparable in walkability to Amsterdam. Maybe there’s no famous museum and not the same energy level, but you can hop on the train and go get it. It’s called the “bid rent curve”, and almost every satellite town of a big European city can be a local spike where there’s urban density around the train station. Americans don’t really have trains, thus screwed.
