You're projecting your own bias onto "a ton of Icelanders" and you've nothing to base this on except your own feelings. That's pretty unreasonable!

Why isn’t regulation and enforcement a solution? Why must the city be the ones to measure spaces? How it works in plenty of other countries…

Maybe it’s different for rentals but you’d think the banks would also want accurate data on the properties they’re mortgaging…and cities for tax revenue…so strange!

Wild. In Netherlands (and I assume other European countries as well) there’s a regulatory norm for how spaces should be measured - what counts as liveable, non-liveable, etc. It’s so much fairer and clearer for everyone involved. https:&#x

Would highly recommend the book "Salt" by Mark Kurlansky. I never realized how influential salt was to the course of human history.

In NL the obligation to renounce is pretty arbitrary. There are a number of circumstances where it is allowed to have two nationalities, such as through marriage to a Dutch citizen. It doesn’t make a lot of sense.

China is building out immense offshore wind capacity - more than 41GW operational currently, about half of global capacity. https://www.offshorewind.biz/2025/02/07/half-of-global-opera...

>To be fair, there could absolutely be national security issues. Which is precisely why US defence agencies are heavily involved in the permitting and design of these wind farms from the start, to account for these valid issues.

And, Sweden blocked those projects in early stage permitting, not well underway or even nearing completion. It's not comparable at all. US defence agencies have had thorough involvement in the permitting process of these US development

There's obviously transparently political antipathy from the Trump administration towards offshore wind development in the US. It's far more likely this is gross political interference by an unserious and vendetta-driven administr

Just something to keep in mind - the actual site of these wind farms is offshore in federal waters, and construction is subject to federal (as well as state) permits.

Personal experience - emigrating to the Netherlands after higher education is a well-defined and relatively easy process. After graduating you're able to apply for a "search year" residence permit which entitles you to reside
