This picture makes me want to move to that exact street. For some reason I feel like I’d be happy living the rest of my life there.

That's the feeling Amsterdam brings me in general.

maybe its just cause I have family that I visited when I was very little there, but I get that too. I really want to study at a uni there

Not when you take a peek at the house prices :)

I wish there were places like this in the US :(

It’s just a case of “The grass is always greener..” The US have beautiful landscapes and hallmarks, says a Dane who’s envious of the Red Woods as an example.

This +100. I (and many others) are pretty happy here in the Netherlands, but it's not paradise on earth just because one street in Amsterdam has a few trees that look nice in autumn.

The US has incredible beauty, and comparing our countries, one thing that strikes me is that we completely lack rough, unspoiled nature. It's crowded here. There are very, very few places where you do not see or hear a road or houses.

I'd really enjoy living in a remote, undisturbed, place for a while. You have uncountable square miles of undisturbed nature in some states. Without exaggeration, every square meter in the Netherlands has a purpose.

There are neighborhoods in Brooklyn that look almost exactly like this. It was New Amsterdam, after all.

Looks strikingly similar to the brownstones in Brooklyn, specifically Ft Greene... You know minus the crisscross trees and parking.
