Please remember that Amsterdam is not representative for The Netherlands   
It's a bit like NYC and the rest of the USA

That said, local government in Amsterdam is quite weird and relatively corrupt

Yes, visiting Amsterdam would actually have you almost believe the Dutch have the possibility to be friendly...but when you visit the more rural towns you realise they're not so friendly and very, very, very arrogant. Most arrogant in Europe? After the French, for sure

[Papper]

sounds like a good idea

let the drunks be drunk like they want to be and make some use of 'em

Amsterdam really is different from many cities in the world

Red Light District, Paying people in Beer, all the Weed etc

Seems like a happy city in general

Whats the crime-rate in Amsterdam compared to, let's say Detroit?

I have a real chip on my shoulder against the Dutch. I fucking hated living there. I was over visiting friends 2 weekends ago and I got caught for 2 speeding tickets by the immigration guy at airport. You wanna know how much it cost me to get outta there without going to jail? 650 euros on the spot. The fines were ramped up plus I was late paying my APK by a month (Dutch vehicle road worthyness cert) before selling the car/leaving the country. FUCKING WANKERS!!!!

The only city I ever had anyone attempt to rob me was Amsterdam.  Me and a buddy got off the beaten path a bit and a group of Africans tried.  We told them to go fuck themselves and they walked away bewildered.  Probably thought were tourist wussies from France.  Lol.

There is no way he would clean streets for beer when he can suck the cocks that he loves for his alcohol.

[Voice of Doom]

So they're taking away work that could be done by a private company creating jobs and hiring people.  Since that company would be incentivized to keep the contract they do a better job, create a better product and increase the salaries on trained employees.  Instead you have government spending tax money that could be used for private investment, monopolizing work/labor and reducing the tax base.  Better yet it encourages alcoholics by providing them means to continue their addiction.
