Geez... I went through a similar situation, but thankfully it was only six months away from my wife and daughter. It was really rough and definitely not something I’d want to go through again. 😅
We’re all happily settled in the Netherlands now, so I guess we’re kind of neighbors? Haha
Netherlands are lovely. If only the food would be better.... Kidding (mostly). My gran was from Arnhem. So much panecooken and poffertjes on my childhood. And vla, I miss vla the most
No housing there right now though, easy 10 yr + waiting lists. Visiting Germany was kinda expressing, just to see how much cheaper and more available the houses are... Like really, why am i still bothering and living with my parents here...
And it's not like the housing situation in Germany is particularly good, especially in the cities! Too many retired people with locked in rents who are occupying larger apartments leaving young families to fight over expensive two bedroom ones. To be fair to the retired people - it'd be a massive financial hit (possibly more than they can afford) to downsize. Construction is not exactly fast either. I've been watching one apartment building near my work being constructed for the last 4 years now.
