They have too many nimbys that make housing expensive and squander their transit infrastructure. places like zunderdorp or ransdorp or really that whole area outside the a10 in amsterdam are ripe opportunities for housing that is perfectly bikeable to a whole lot of transit, currently being used for agriculture like it has been for the last millenia, and at this rate will continue to be used for that for the next millenia. Then that leaves you with adding housing in town to match job growth demand, seems logical right? But you can't because of height limit ordinances prevent adding any meaningful housing supply even if you were allowed to take down a historic building. This leaves you with the inevitable end result we have today, of Amsterdam being one of the most expensive places to live in Europe.
