As an Amsterdammer, and soon to be living-in-the-center-of-Amsterdammer, a trend of our city’s municipality worries me. This is the trend to make Amsterdam squeeky clean, disallow anything fun, noisy and dirty and turn this old town into an amusement park. This is why I endorse Ai! Amsterdam which aims to change some of the absurd local laws recently passed. i.e. a law forbidding anyone to consume a beverage while standing up. (Yes! Actually true!) If Amsterdam is dear to you, please visit the site and register. I don’t want to live in Disneyland!
