What better way to lose millions of tourists' dollars, drive the soft drug trade out onto the streets, and enrich street gangs, dealers in hard drugs, and thieves that prey on gullible tourists?

So the hookers and their tourists are OK? I have never been in Europe, and in no hurry to go.

The city “doesn’t necessarily just want people with a lot of money”, he told DutchNews. “We say come to Amsterdam for the museums, the food, for love or for friends – but not to skulk around, smoke dope and do drugs.”

If Holland ends up doing this, there goes their tourism industry.
No one is going to Amsterdam to see tulips!

I would take the tulip tour if I could have a spliff. I want to see windmills buy some wooden shoes and burn a few along the way.

They are talking about closing the red light district too.

The problem with Amsterdam is, that it’s not Amsterdam anymore. Before there where Amsterdammers living in the Amsterdam. But now that its cool to live there and house prices are sky high. People with money come and live here. And they don’t like bars and noise on the street. It’s not what it use to be
