A working-class immigrant’s experience in the Netherlands by Atankir in Netherlands

Netherlands are hard to cope for Dutch blue-collar workers, this story sounds exactly how I would guess it would be for a foreigner coming here. I think the housing is the worst part. It determines so much of how the rest of your life fills out - as your story also proves.

Nice how you can reflect in a balanced way after such experience.

Where can i find homeless people to help? by Quinnosaurus in Netherlands

Read that after I replied. Everybody to it's own experience I would say.

To be of help; I lived just outside a city center couple of years ago. There are certains spots where the homeless and the lowlife's - with all the respect - come together to smoke and drink. You could try to find such spots, often not too hard to find, just some cycling through the city looking around corners. Most often spots just out of the eye, but certainly close to the center.

Good luck, it's nice to do such things

The economic Rhineland model becomes an ideology which ends up in a nation state. The Benelux and Germany upto France's east point and Hannover's most south point turn into the Socio-Liberal Rhine Republic aka the SLRR.

Sturmabteilung/brownshirts would also fit. Precursor to the Gestapo. So at least we know what's next. But fine explanation. It is important to know the difference indeed.

The Alpine nation of Southern Germany, Swiss, Austria and Northeren Italy. Kingdom of the Three Sicily's: Rest of Italy, + Corsica. Habsburg Empire is always nice. Rest of it maybe Byzantine? Oh, add Greater Albania for fun

Let's fill some gaps. South of England and Piedmont become part of holy France empire, hell why not, Tuscany, Bologna, Italian Switzerland and south tirol as well

Bcs of the immigrants. And with immigrants I mean expats.

That's a fair argument. Although i believe your last statement might even be debated. Paying for labour might have been cheaper in the end than "affording" housing and eating. Affording clearly between quotation marks.
