"If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it and you will even come to believe it yourself." This infamous saying is sooo applicable here.

I live in Amsterdam in the "circular Buiksloterham" district where hundreds of new housing are currently being built. If you want to see thousands of cubic meters of concrete being poured, it is the place to be.

The urban plan underpinning its development breaks every rule in the book concerning urban heat sink prevention, inclusivity, future resilience, bio-diversity stimulation, and a healthy living environment (green, clean air, etc). So much so that the dutch themselves are leaving the city (net outflow) as they have better options leaving the city to those who don't.

The adagio is, as always, the harder something is being framed, the more your alarm bells should go off as you are being had.
