      @@AtomicMoviess I agree with the insane taxes, that's the reason I wouldn't move there. I used to live in Berlin and half of my income was gone, cost of health insurance was ridiculous and there were very few euros left to invest, even though I was a high-income person. Crazy stuff. Life changed after moving to Sydney. Later on, even more, when I set up a company in Brazil paying 9-10% and started a nomad life.
      But what's the problem with the government? Seems pretty reasonable compared to most other places. And what do people judge you on the most?

      Eliseu Monar dos Santos by goverment i mean the laws they make and how they do not fix it. Look up “gedoogsbeleid” for exempel or we have the best roads in the whole world way better then the autobahn but we only allowed to drive 100km/u (60miles), its just so cricked

    It's nice and may be cheap, but it's cheap to the upper class because it's still pretty expensive to most people. The 'wateryuppies' as he calls them are people who actually can afford to buy a house in the center of Amsterdam if they wanted to. Anyone below the upper class is slowly moving out of Amsterdam (further away than this houseboat yard) and this will become a problem (actually already is) in the future.

    • @treesagreen4191
      @treesagreen4191 6 лет назад +19

      Marinus I hunk this is true of all cities. What used to be housing for the workers becomes affordable homes for the middle class. Then it spreads out, so that people go out to the country and buy what used to be farm workers houses or peasant cottages. Those on low incomes struggle to stay in the areas they were born in, as they pushed out by rising property prices. Not sure how it will ever change.

      I agree, this is a global problem. I don't understand why something as primitive as SHELTER is so hard to attain!? Shelter, food and water should be the basics for every human, and yet, shelter seems to be a life-time achievement which you get at the end of your life, then you die and leave it for your kids or something...

      @MarinusMakesStuff 6 лет назад +7

      Hi C O, the place didn't cost 1 euro, they bought the ship for a higher price including the spot (you have to pay for the spot separately). They decided to sell the ship they bought for 1 euro so they could build a new, and more expensive home in the spot they bought. Get it? :) They just had to get rid of the home that they bought to also get the spot that's why they sold it for a symbolic price.

    Such a great design for a house. I like how he designed a cool spaced based on being in the water. However, even if it was on land it'd be a cool design.
    I would have liked to see / hear more of the roof. How'd they deal with rain / water run off? The roof looks great, but it also looks like a tub that would fill with water and run the stairs.

    I think it becomes more problematic in/around Amsterdam to buy and live affordable. Many of my friends who bought houses 5 years ago are now seeking outside of Amsterdam because over the years they have gained a family. Prices are insane in downtown. I think the solution of more floating house boats is something to consider.
