You have to realize what the layout of most European towns an cities are like , everyone lives on top of each other. Buildings can house many different apartments. You have to learn to respect your neighbors and give then some kind of consideration or things get out of control. When you have people in the building involved in constant drug taking , parties , fights , littering , passing out, overdosing, having payed sex in public places, being sick and urinating in your hallways. Its not an urban paradise its total hell for anyone living there , certainly not a place safe for children.
Amsterdam is a liberal place and beautiful city but there are to many people there just taking the p**s and ruining it for everyone else. Most of these people don't come from Amsterdam either, they just move there because they think they can get away with that kind of behavior. So rather than change the laws of the land and make that kind of behavior illegal they are going to move out all the idiots.
People should respect the fact they have more freedom than most places in Europe and not ruin it for everyone else. Its a clear message..play nice or get the hell out.

Amsterdam to create 'scum villages'
www.telegraph.co.uk
(visit the link for the full news article)
Amsterdam is to create "Scum villages" where nuisance neighbours and anti-social tenants will be exiled from the city and rehoused in caravans or containers with "minimal services" under constant police supervision.
The tough approach taken ...reflects hardening attitudes to routine anti-social behaviour that falls short of criminality.

How quickly these Dutch conservatives forget about having to eat tulips to survive during WWII occupation and beng treated like cattle. Now they are creating their own ghettos to satisfy their desire to remove antisocial behavior from their utopian society.
What a messed up world when a liberal country like Netherlands makes antisocial behavior a crime! Shame on you!

Your from Scotland i would not imagine you take crap from anyone. However a practical solution when dealing with antisocial scum, allways carry a bigger stick than they have. Whether it be your words or something with more substance. Caging them in a specific area though seems rather draconian to me. Reminiscent of Mr Hitler treatment of the jews IMHO.edit on 4-12-2012 by andy06shake because: (no reason given)
How does coming from Scotland mean I don't take crap from anyone...stereotyping much!
The problem with your solution is that I don't lower myself to other peoples level...they make noise in the early hours, leave rubbish, dog (and human) urine on the stairs, break their windows/doors...do you honestly think that I would try to one up them on that? Why the heck would I? Are you suggesting I make more noise than them, have a bigger scarier dog, leave more rubbish lying around? Not really a workable solution and the last time I spoke to my neighbour across the landing about people kicking and banging on his door and throwing beer cans around late at night, his answer "fk off wisnae fkn me hen" There is no talking to them, there is no reasoning with them and as far as your comparison to Hitler and his definition of undesirables and the solutions, you have just demonstrated quite astonishing ignorance, these are not people who are being stereotyped because of race, religion or anything like that, they are the creators of their own destiny, they choose to behave the way they do and as such one of these days hopefully they will finally face the consequences of their actions...nothing draconian about it, just an exasperated society looking for a solution.

So instead of figuring out what is breeding this type of behavior... you move them all to one location where you introduce one set of bad people with another set of bad people then you breed them.
Eventually those "scum villages" will grow and begin to encroach on the other villages.
I think something is wrong in Amsterdam if it is breeding or attracting these types of people to the point they have to make special locations for them
Women up here dont take crap from anybody, you know it, i know it, everybody knows it. So please less of the moral high ground
I was just trying to help
Chill out, is it a bad time or something? Try a wee cup a tea it might calm you down some. Bring you down to us mere mortals level.
That dont mean we should decide to segregate in small areas what you and the Dutch goverment would obviously term problem individuals like the Nazis done with the Jewish ghettos
