And. just like Amsterdam, we could have bicycle traffic only and 'coffee shops' in which to smoke our marijuana! 

And we could go for their tax rates, too!

"Netherlands has some of the highest income taxes in the world - progressive tax rate bands for 2017 apply of 36.55%, 40.8% and 52% which include social security contributions. The top rate of 52% is applied on income over €67,072 - in Europe only Belgium, Denmark, France, Portugal and Sweden have higher top rates. Taxpayers get a personal tax credit of around €2,250."

" There is a Value Added Tax called the BTW (Belasting Toegevoegde Waarde) of 21% on most goods and services and 6% for food and other selected items."
