  1. Personally I love brutalist architecture but I agree the Bijlmer high rises are just ugly. The trees are really nice and it cleaned up pretty well but the original designs were fugly. But it is the same era that tried to put highways through the historic centers of cities like Utrecht, people were just mad.

  3. I mean over 95% of the country doesn't identify as Muslim and the majority of Muslims are of European descend so not really? Perhaps checks the facts once in a while, helps you develop a truthful view of reality.

  4. Significantly better though the area of the crash is still the worst off part. What doesn't help is the poor connection to the rest of the city. The other side of the Bijlmer has two metro lines, one directly downtown. The area of the crash on the other hand has only one metro line and not nearly as well connected. But as a whole the Bijlmer area is doing much better, crime is down significantly for example, that seemed to have moved West and to the city of Rotterdam.
