while also not being in some dense urban hellscape 🇳🇱🇪🇺

Fun fact: Although Amsterdam (~5,000/km^2^) fails to match the population density of New York City (~11,000/km^2^), similarly-human-scale Paris manages to almost double it (~20,000/km^2^) despite not having skyscrapers. Because of things like progressive setbacks and the need to build parking decks to comply with minimum parking requirements, NYC-style skyscrapers really don't buy you as much extra living space as you might think, compared to mid-rise apartment buildings that can use the entire city block curb-to-curb.
