@zebraloverbridget The ones who make trouble in the Red Light District are tourists, mostly British, but also from other countries. They only have a few days to 'do Amsterdam' and want to do it all. XTC, weed, mushrooms, alcohol and cocaine. And see what they cant see at home.
Most of them young men who just escaped parental supervision...
They gather at the 'windows', shout obscene words, make obscene gestures, even drop their pants and start jerking.
They piss and vomit everywhere and get out off control, bother others, even drop in the canals.
It is NOT the kind of customer the sex-industry wants, they are no consumers.
Most of them are not addicts but have used too much and too many different things in a short time, this combination can even be deadly.
Combine this with many tourists who are just curious. And pickpockets that abuse the overcrowded narrow streets, where everybody is bumping into another and jams occur where incidents take place, and you have created a hell hole.
And I do respect social workers who try to prevent addiction and help those who are already, but in the RLD it's not a problem caused by locals.

@hoogyoutube It won't be for long until you see Dutch families go into the bog with a spade over their shoulder.
There is a lot left and we know where to find it in De Peel.
@Dean I agree, when natural resources are taken away there should be an alternative and help to switch. Better housing, insulation, subsidy on solar panels, alternatives that open a good future.
Rethinking about our collective future should start today. In the Netherlands cattle and pig farmers bring too much nitrogen into surrounding 'nature'. But those large areas with bare sand and heather are not natural. There were forests once that were cut down in the Middle Ages and in the time our cities needed building and burning wood. Leaving the soil bare and leaving it to go to waste. Big areas of drifting sands, by the wind, threatened agriculture around them. So in the 19th century and even more during the 1930 crisis, unemployed were send in to plant American pine trees that could grow in barren sand, to stop the drift. And it worked, large plantations of non-domestic trees, neatly in rows, covered the area and kept the sands in.
Now, with the nitrogen, these areas grow grasses again and are turning back to woods. In a natural way, with domestic trees like oak, beech, willow, birch... But 'nature' conservation doesn't like it, they want the bare sands (environment catastrophe) to continue.
They complain the American pine trees are suffering because they get too much nutrients and will die because of it.
And I do support a sustainable future, with good circumstances for animals and farmers, and nature to be preserved.
But let's not consider our mistakes from the past as 'nature', filled with Scottish highlander cows, Alpine goats, Russian horses, German deer and imported wild boars, all in an environment of rows of American Douglas firs. That's crazy!
Our environment will change, people live in Ireland and the Netherlands, that will have impact on the landscape, but what is to be saved, how we can use our countries, how we can have a sustainable future, and what that looks like, is a collective responsibility.

@randomviewer3494 Some disappeared, like RKPN, RPF, Boeren Partij, Provo, Kabouter and more. It goes in waves, sometimes more, sometimes less. But remember: before the ARP was founded, there were no parties at all, all independent members of parliament, so... 150 parties is the limit.

@co7013 In the Netherlands we use tiles, bricks and cobblestones. All our infra is in the ground, electricity, gas, water, telephone, cable tv, glass-fiber for internet, and sewer system. We have a lot of trees.
With our relative soft soil, it is easy to lift a part, fill it with sand so it's even again and put the pavement back. Little blocks do not break but follow soil settings, so we see where it is compressed. Infra has to be very flexible to deal with these soil settings as well.
