As a Frisian Dutchman I just love your vids. You are so aware of what is going on, and trying to be as objective as possible, I take my hat off for you.

[@Centurion101B3C]

I like the fact that you are going a bit deeper into the things that you bring up and put an (for an American and certainly a Texan) uncharacteristic level of intellect, awareness and appliead intelligence in the things you report on. I am happy to see you be comfortable in the Netherlands and I welcome your take on the general and societal things that seem drawn to reporting about. Not so much about the gym stuff, but that's because I'm more into functional use of my 70 year-old body. I swim several kilomters a week and that gives me all that I need to get and remain in shape for proper and pleasant functioning as well as maintaining a favourable self-image of what I look like (not that I care too much about that, but it is what it is.).

[@adotte8014]

You are very observant and ....eloquent as well.

[@floris-janvandermeulen8054]

My wife come to the Netherlands to study, and she was flabbergasted that her professor ride a bike to the university. In China, like in the US all professors would drive big cars and you would be seen as poor riding a bike. Here, if biking is quicker or more efficient you are considered dumb using a car. The former prime minister lived in the inner city of The Hague, and he would always use his bike to go to his office or to parliament. By the way he did own a car, but it was a very old Saab.

It’s not just that people view adults riding bikes differently, it’s that generally we don’t care what other people think about it. Being rich or poor isn’t important.

[@AnneSpeeFrickus]

After watching your video today, I noticed that when I'm driving in my car, I constantly look out for pedestrians or cyclists, since they are the most vulnerable partakers in traffic. I think that is the main difference; it requires a different way of focusing when driving in an urban environment.

[@Ronin-kk4bt]

I really enjoy these video’s mainly because I’m just learning so much about the Netherlands and the Dutch 🤔 very fascinating especially the differences between the US I actually like that they’re very humble and have humility the LA culture is so fast paced and everyone’s just trying to one up each other and flex their cars or money that’s the status what you have and it’s fine but sometimes I wish there was more humility here. Good video Jordan keep them coming I want to learn more 👍

[@floris-janvandermeulen8054]

One reason Dutch driver are more attentive is that they/we all have been riding our bike for years, to primary and secondary school. So once we start driving we know from our own experience how important it is to make space for cyclists and reduce our speed when passing them.

[@FosteringMotivation]

Great content! You do a great service shining light on the somewhat superficial values shared in the states.

[@antiqueinsider]

In Benelux it's common to be courteous to other drivers and to give a wave or smile or nod of appreciation to other polite drivers. Many regulations make this assumption too. In the US, traffic law is to partially restrain the aggressive driving style. Similarly 'Jaywalking' is outlawed to stop idiots from jumping in front of traffic, whereas in NL there is no necessity because we treat traffic with respect (or else die young!)

[@JORISGUY7XD]

When I subscribed to your channel back in 2020 (I think) you only had a few subs. Back then you had a completely different view on the world, because you lived in the US.

You're lucky to have met your girlfriend, that really took your life in a different direction. Greetings from North-Holland.

[@sanderjansen5187]

My sister In law is from Washington DC, and I was on holiday in Washington and around and commented her that we found the public transport in the city quite good. She was very upset that we lowered our selfs to using public transportation, that was for the poor. Living in the Netherlands, public transport is used by every one.😂

driving a stick shift, or a automatic car makes no different in paying atention. shifting is done without thinking about it, just like walking. you don't have to be awere of putting one foot in front of the other.

[@Tuinierenopstrobalen]

In my opinion driving a stick adds to the fun of driving a car. Although I don't live in a traffic jam part of the country. Where it would make more sense.

[@maartendekroon267]

Not sure (I don't have a licence). Even if shifting happens subconsciously, it's still your brain actively (subconsciously, but still) participating in the whole action of participating in traffic. That's more engaged than putting the car in D and that's it.

[@markschattefor6997]

@@Tuinierenopstrobalen It seems that driving a manual car in the US has the benefit that the usual suspects can't get away with it and don't/can't steal them so easy.

I work for, as a gardener, for a rich family, living in a USD $ 2 million home, in the Netherlands. She's a ophthalmologist, makes USD 1000 a day and her husband own a successful Internet company. She goes per bike to her job and so does he; albeit owning a USD 150.000 BMW. So they can show that they are wealthy, but they hardly do so. In the Netherlands you are not respected for your money. If you are rich and you work as a volunteer - helping poor people to become litterate -, you will get better social recognition within the Dutch society. A great example is the billionaires family van der Vorm, from the City of Rotterdam. That family got rich by investments and selling the famous Holland America Line to US based Carnival. They can afford hundreds of Porches, Ferrari's etc. but they instead started a project to take over the debts of 1000 families in Rotterdam. In general: it is over here more important to be able to tell what you did in life vs. what do you posses in monetary terms.

An other reason why drivers pay attention is ‘no matter who is in the wrong, if you hit a pedestrian or someone on a bike the person in the car is responsible.

[@hvputten]

Jordan thank you for your podcast. I enjoy listening to your english. The street planning which leads to less car use and more bike/pedestrian/public transport has a history of more than fifty years. Compare the statistics of fatal traffic accidents of children in the US and the netherlands. Some fifty years ago there was a protestmovent “stop de kindermoord”(stop the child murders) which caused the government to change the rules of street design. This led, lowly, to a traffic calming which led to less traffic accidents. Making streets narrower, adding separate bike lanes helped. Second reason for bike use: if you cant park your car downtown why not drive to carpark on the outskirts an take public transport? Or just bike from your suburb to downtown? Not all working dutch people can use their bike to get to work but most want to, to avoid the traffic jams, maybe not on all days, but when the weather is fine why not? There is more to traffic and road design than what a casual observation shows.

Public transport is also encouraged by companies. Cost of public transport is reimbursed and traveling by car only a little amount per kilometer. If you work for the government you even get a government OV card (free public transport card)

[@nickstar0074]

Hi Jordan, good to have you here! I’ve been a few times in the States and have noticed that the people in the USA tend to solve problems in an individual way. Like they’d rather buy big SUV with big suspension in stead of repairing the roads. And the little individual pools in the backyard are pretty funny too. Take good care and I hope you are having a great time here! Nick

[@Tuinierenopstrobalen]

I drive and own a car, but I take the train as well. It depends on where I'm going. If taking my car and spending a lot on parking cost more I will take the train. I feel fortunate being able to choose. And I feel fortunate that most people in Europe are able to drive a car properly because we don't let parents teach their children how to drive.🍀

[@Roman500]

True, i have a car, i use public transport all the time. Sometimes because of parking, or id like to have some drinks, or i just dont feel like driving. Same with biking.

[@rudib-5304]

I strongly believe, if you build the infrastructure, the users will come, providing it's safe and reliable. This goes for bikes, pedestrians and public transport alike. Even in the US.

[@oetgaol]

The status quo of the Netherlands was quite hard fought. We were well on our way to becoming a car dependant hell hole. You can still see the scars in cities like Rotterdam and Eindhoven. Building bike lanes was what made the Dutch a biking culture, not the other way around. Building bike lanes induces demand.

Dutch status is own Time for yourself and your friends and family. To go anywhere you like, when you like, by bike, go out in nature. Thats freedom. Thats status. Holidays 3 times per year in other countries or in the Netherlands. Have a Hobby or sports, not for other people, for yourself. Its not status see me going, its live your life 🙏🏽

[@andrelglinnenbank2856]

an observation from a simple dutch person. A car feels like an extension of your living room, a cyclist is just a pedestrian on two wheels. Interaction with other people is defined by that. Someone interferes with you in your living room, you get angry. Someone is approaching you on a bike, both or the one for who [t is most easy makes way. It is rather common that someone reverses in a one way street, even if the one approaching is driving the wrong way. You do that if it is easier for you to reverse than for the other person. Rationale: we all sometimes are lost and drive the wrong way, so next time it could be me. On the stop signs. The sign exists, but is seldom used. In the US almost all crossings have 4 stop signs, one at every corner. If they all have them, why not replace them by virtual signs? Much cheaper to pretend they are there, than actually wasting money and materials.

[@justmandy6572]

Another thing I noticed the Netherlands do that Americans don't is hanging your laundry outside to dry. I was told it also is looked down on.

[@jannetteberends8730]

You didn’t notice yourself, but the underlying point in your first two points, is that being poor is apparently a stigma. Nobody in the USA wants to be seen as poor.

[@salttrader4113]

I think that's ok, different countries, different mentalities. The US is a huge country, distance makes a big difference. Couldn't see myself grabbing a bus to go snowboarding to the mountains here in Colorado. As a kid took the bus all the time, it sucked waiting in the freezing rain or snow... Btw, heard the germans call the Dutch "left drivers" , they just don't know how to use the right lane on the autobahn, it infuriates the germans, you have to pass them on the right lane 😂.

[@RealConstructor]

I know the Germans say that and it might be true (I haven’t seen it, but Im not that often on German highways). They say NL stands for Nür Links (only left). But the Germans do the same on Dutch highways, but at far lower speeds, below 100kmph. We have a maximum speed of 100kmph and on German highways there is basically no speed limit. I drive every between Amsterdam and Utrecht and lots of Germans keep drIving left on the outer lane at lower speeds than other cars and overtaking on the right can give you a big fine of hundreds of Euros, so most keep behind the German car. They’re slowing every driver on this five lane highway. I say the D stands for Dom/Dumm (stupid).

Using public transport is actually showing you care for this rock we're living on. It also allows you to drink and not have to drive, so no DUI risks.

Public transport, when enough utilised by the people, keeps your city centers a lot more free from cars that cause traffic congestion...

Hi Jordan, Love your vlogs. You forgot the most important thing Dutch people do, that is not mentioned in most vlogs: pay a lot of taxes. The willingness to pay taxes and understand that this is the way to build and maintain the social and physical infrastructure we have in the Netherlands is generally accepted (not loved!) by most Dutch people.

[@justmandy6572]

I don't think there is a single street in Murica that doesn't have a STOP sign 😂. But seriously, never in my life I saw so much STOP signs as I saw in USA, and I was in rural Kentucky, not even a big city.

We, the Dutch people, don’t think bike infrastructure and public transport is progressive. It’s just common sense: I love my car, I love driving it. But biking, or a combination of car, bike and public transport is often faster, cheaper, better for my and everybody’s health and better for the environment.

[@--tfd--albatross6700]

About status NL vs US. Status is more measured on a social and Intellectual point of view or rather say put on a scale than financial. Meaning if you have a great social group or a lot of (real) friends an are intelligent you get respect. Respect is more important than status but the one enforce the other.

[@arturobianco848]

The reason a lot of people ride bikes and take public transport in the Netherlands is because its more practicale then taking your car. And as more people take it it will become more normale. You see that all over Europe not just the Netherlands. You are correct about the americane mindset but its just a bit more then that. Induced demand works also the other way around.

I ride my scooter to my work just because it's cheaper and even quicker in the city. I do not give a f about status. Status is fake. You can have a big car and house but in the end the bank has it all. IT'S NOT YOURS!So what is status? Being able to have bigger debts? So in the end the man or woman who ride a bike has more money then you who has a lot of debt.

[@liesbeth4271]

In the Netherlands, some 30 years ago, you were seen as not too smart when you didn't drive a stick shift car. Because (mentally) disabled people were only allowed to drive an 'automaat'. This doesn't sound nice, but it's true. This is changing now they have made people believe driving an 'automaat' is a luxury.

[@Centurion101B3C]

Hm, about public transportation and such, please be aware that before the 1950s, many US cities and metropolitan areas had extensive, well used and well economically feasible/operational public transportation systems. These Metro-areas were connected with a lot denser network than is currently operated. In my case I am pretty well versed in the Twin-Cities Metropolitan area public transportation that extended to the St. Cloud metro area and consisted of Busses, tramways/streetcars, railroad and even regular and integrated boatlines traffic on the many lakes. In the early 1950s the entire system of public transoprtation, except that what remained of what US armed services operated, was relentlessly ripped out of Metropolitan area and replaced with the currently applicable car-centric infrastructure. Many really stinky deals were made to arrange for this and the corrupt car-lobby and organized crime went really far and hard to bulldoze any possible opposition. In the end that tremendous capital invested in public transportation was resolutely ripped off, torn out and demolished in order chase the individual into using cars in order to boost the bottom-line of the car-industry. Only in the last 10 to 15 years, certain parts of that infrastructure has been re-created at tremendous costs and effort. It works great and has good ridership (last time I looked). At the same time, the Twin-cities have become also one of the more advanced bicycle environments, despite its climatological adversity.. Just FYI

[@NL2500]

It all seems to go back to the mindset of people. That is clearly very different. Everyone who went to America and many who were born there have a dream, the dream that they can have a better life than elsewhere. The dream is that everyone can become rich. Yes, there are other ideals such as democracy, rights, equality, and freedom, in name but actually they do not really matter. It is about personal status and wealth for the vast majority. It is a 'Me' culture, not 'We'. Religion also plays a completely different role than in Europe, there are differences per country, but America is strongly Christian (in name), but look at the rich television preacher. Status and influence is what it is all about. In a country of dreamers, the Christian religion has taken on a completely unique form. But here too you see that it is actually a 'Me' culture with an energy and aggressive drive against everyone else. There is absolutely no will to give others freedom or to treat them as equals. They have an imaginary god who is there especially for them ('Me'), that suits dreamers exactly. It is a feel-good faith.

[@arturobianco848]

Last reaction, you are absolutly right that americanes are fundamentally differnt people. And i see what you are struggling sort of grasping at. Yes its all interconnected, the society the politicale structure and the infrastructure. So you just can't discus one without at least crossing a littlbit over to the other ones. Most importend point why just puting in the infrastructure in america won't work is the zoning laws though. You need shops, services, restaurants and pubs to be close enough to be reach by bike or a short hop on PT. And that means 2 things you need a denser population and you need the former said thing basicly around the corner (within a 2 mile radius).

[@black4pienus]

When I tell Americans (who live in the US) that I don't have a car, they act so confused. lol. Maybe Dutch drivers pay better attention because it was drilled into us during driver's lessons. We don't get driver's lessons from our parents. Someone from a driver's school teaches you. And they'll keep drilling you about constantly looking through all your windows and in every mirror.

And this infrastructure works everywhere they force drivers to slow down. I'm always speeding in the states because of the roads, in the netherlands not so much because the roads are designed to ride at a certain speed. Will americanes be bitching about it sure.

I placed this comment in another video but the reason drivers are more attentive has to do with the roads. Dutch roads feel unsafe, so drivers slow down and pay more attention. US roads are very wide and straight. They make drivers feel safe and they are naturally inclined to speed and not pay attention. People are horrible at paying attention in a boring safe situation. The American driving in the Netherlands will be a better driver as the roads help them to drive safely.

[@houghi3826]

The drivers are cyclists as well. It is not that you are one or the other. People are both. And after you park your car, you are a pedestrian. There is no divide. No car drivers against cyclists against people using public transit. Driving is a privilege, not a right. This is possible to NOT have a drivers licence. It would be interesting if you would do a mock drivers licence test. Even just the theoretical one. I used to have a car, because I needed it. When I did not need it any more, I sold it. The money I saved is at least 350 EU per month. Probably more. And about the travel. Americans also just have way less time they CAN travel. e.g. I have 40 paid vacation days. And that does not get less when I am sick. So what I do is take 8 weeks per year and then do a trip. That is 8 vacations per year. City trip, beach vacation, mountains, touristy, cultural, food oriented, museums, walking, renting a car and driving, family visits, with friends, ... And I can partly do that because I do not have to pay a car

The American concept of being the only ones enjoying freedom is ignorant beyond belief.

[@DutchinBrazil]

Who cares about your status or material possessions haha, spending no money is the national hobby, looking poor, and retire early and chill in Spain or Latin America ✌️

[@DaanHoogland]

Dutch drivers are also cyclists!

[@SjoukeP]

@DaanHoogland Exactly! Aside from that, in case of accidents it's first and foremost the driver who is held accountable.

[@wimschoenmakers5463]

Sounds to me, even after a year, your're still not a real Dutchie. I heard a bit to much 'Back home'.

[@kevintje25]

Thats why you cant drive with a American drivers license in the Netherlands

[@chipdale490]

Are you sure? I see plenty americans picking up their rental car at Schiphol airport.

[@kevintje25]

@chipdale490 im mean when you going to life here you can drive here up to 185 days

[@markschattefor6997]

About abortion, that should be the last thing that you want to do. There are so many ways to PREVENT getting pregnant, but in puritan murica you can't talk about that!

[@mensemems.53]

Nee we gaan beetje fiets kopen 10000 euro. Gegarandeerd binnen uur gestoken. Lekker oude meuk. Of betaalbare fiets kopen.

[@steffieboy19]

I strongly disagree with your point on how Americans are compared to Dutch people. I am a strong believer that a human being is product of its own environment. So any human being can adopt the Dutch lifestyle.

[@emmatessier600]

People could but they probably don't want to change. They probably would like change, but maybe not "to change", most people don't.

[@idontcount]

22 minutes video about things are different in the Netherlands than "back home " sheesh what a surprise

[@piepkwiep4312]

If the Dutch want to keep up with the Joneses they buy a Stromer ST7 for €14000,-

[@manuell3505]

I would buy a $13900 PC instead.

[@budapestkeletistationvoices]

and you want to return to LA where no one wants to ride a bike. Sad, Abortion is off topic in politics in most European countries other than Poland.

[@JordanGreenYT]

People definitely ride bikes there (especially on the beach where there are bike lanes). That said, their bike infrastructure has a LONG way to go before it catches up to the Netherlands. But if it ever does, the weather will make it a SUPER enjoyable experience.

[@budapestkeletistationvoices]

@JordanGreenYT in particulary in Skid Row

[@inge6280]

If you’ve never seen a traffic jam in the Netherlands, then I wonder where you live
