Why would so many people need to move between Amsterdam and Hague in the first place
- stouset 4y agoThey’re 37 miles apart. Do you have idea how many Americans commute 37 miles each way, every single day?
- yourusername 4y agoThe job market in the Netherlands is very flexible and the housing market is very inflexible. It's not financially feasible for most people to move for a job every few years. Especially to the Amsterdam region where you would need to be on a waiting list for a decade for social housing or make ~2x national average to even think of moving there.
- mcv 4y agoThey're both important cities. Sometimes people need to be in a specific city. But you're absolutely right that it's better to work in the same city where you live, so you can simply ride a bike to work.
