This is really interesting to read. Where I live in the US your region of the world is regarded as pretty utopian. Thanks for sharing.

I don't want to make it sound like the NL is a terrible place to live. It's actually pretty good all things considered.
However, no place is perfect, and we should still point out the problems that do exist.

The most difficult part is that there is not really one solution to these problems..

The core issue is the nitrogen oxide emissions crisis, which we can't really get around.
Somehow we are going to have to lower these emissions, but how will we make sure that the burden of that is shared fairly?

I don't envy the politicians who are going to have to perform the balancing act between the various conflicting interests
