I had some friends in the Netherlands.

From what they described to me back then this is going to be a very positive change if it sticks.

Rioting is expected.

Yes, it's positive. But I don't know if it's very significant. And if there was a free market in housing, there wouldn't be this huge shortage in Amsterdam.

More significant is the new right-wing (sort of) coalition agreement. It has the motto, "Freedom and Responsibility." It may be a big step in the right direction.

I think they'll change very little. But the socialists, greens, labour parties and multiculturalists are pissed, so the coalition must have some positive things. And it appears 70% of the population thinks it's possitive, even though the leftists are screaming their usual objections (The poor become the victims, the rich are left unscathed! This will lead to Muslims being lead to the gaschambers! Women are forced back into the stone age because they won't be able to pay for daycare! This is killing the environment! etc.).
