re: Amsterdam Is Going to be Much More Expensive to Visit

I've been there a handful of times and never really fell in love. The city is stunning but the "lets go to some and get laid" thing plus the throngs of tourists really makes it unlovable. I think this is a wise move by the city.

Also with the some of the best public transit in the world, this just means the outer ring suburbs are going to blow up with hotels and everybody will stay out there. The unintended consequence is that those suburbs are going to balloon too fast with traffic and people they were never meant to handle.
