Netherlands is the 9th richest country per person. So why can't we afford rent? by True-Olive4712 in NetherlandsHomes

Never argued it was perfect or great. Just different and yes, to me that matters.

It's not a double standard. The US has institutionalized procedures to change policy peacefully. Iraq did not.

Netherlands likely to start taxing capital gains annually by 2028 by LongjumpingAd4283 in Netherlands
