  1. With the exception of som Gypsy quarters in various Eastern European cities, the equivalent flat blocks there still have a homogenous native ethnic population so many of the problems the Bijlmermeer faced, which were caused by criminal migrants, aren't a thing there.

  2. There was an even bigger gallery flat built in the city of Venlo, Vleugelflat St. Annakamp. It had many of the same flaws as the Bijlmer, dog shit (and human shit) and used needles everywhere, chuck full of junkies, alcoholics, and other degenerates. The last residents left in 1997 and it was knocked down in 1999 using explosives. I am just about old enough to still remember the flat was inhabited, albeit only half of units occupied. It actually had a highway underpass + a massive radiation shelter underneath. These modernist buildings are crimes against humanity. The only reason that the Bijlmer is much more popular is that living in Amsterdam is so popular that people settle for living stacked up in concrete with a thousand others. Glad I live in a small and quiet provincial town instead.
