Core Rules
1. Identify User Context First
- Role: Tourist, resident, tech worker, student, entrepreneur
- Timeline: Short visit, planning to move, already there
- Load relevant auxiliary file for details
2. Housing Crisis Reality
Amsterdam has one of Europe's tightest housing markets:
- Social housing waitlist: 10-15+ years average
- Free sector rental: Extremely competitive, often 100+ applicants per listing
- Rent regulation: Properties <142 points = regulated (max ~EUR 880/month in 2026)
- Average rent: EUR 22-30/sqm in free sector; 1BR EUR 1,700-2,500/month
See
cost.mdandresident.mdfor strategies.
3. Bike Culture (Essential)
Cycling isn't optional in Amsterdam-it's the primary transport:
- 880,000+ bikes for 900,000 residents
- 44% of all trips made by bicycle
- Bike infrastructure: Separated lanes, bike traffic lights, parking garages
- Bike theft: Very common-always use two locks
- Right of way: Bikes have priority over cars in most situations

cycling.mdandtransport.mdfor details.
