What's Dutch for Mos Eisley?

Escape From New York: The Theme Park!

Yeah, let's put all the undesireables into one place. It'll be easier to keep an eye on them that way. Nothing can go wrong.

I thought we just called it Baltimore?

Not enough meth for trailer parks.

Does Amsterdam have tornadoes?

Can't have a trailer park without tornadoes.

Tornado firing solution entered.

There are small pockets of good areas, you just have to pay a lot to live there. I work in Hunt Valley but live all the way out in Frederick.

The US thought of it first, so pay yer royalties, ya dutch b•stards!



/thinks sheriff Joe is friggin crazy as hell

Will it include the special showers and sauna?

Will they be periwinkle blue?

/got nothin'

Great idea. I'm sure there will be warnings before they're finally sent there, so there's no-one to blame but themselves if it does happen.

Or as they're already known in Europa: The Roma.

First they came for the bad neighbors, and I said nothing because I hate living near bad neighbors and the scumbags get what they deserve, and I was happy.

You know who ELSE put their undesirables into confined areas!??

/yes, I know this thread has already been Godwinned

So Holland has a 47% too !

Scum Village would be a cool band name.

They made this same kind of thing as the basis behind the plot for:




So unless everybody flies away on their own spaceship into the sunset; I don't think this little social experiment is going to work too well.

What if that becomes the area with the better restaurants, clubs and artists? I'd imagine it might backfire into a type of NYC where service caters to these types of people very well.

/Yes, I say this and I love NYC.

They still make that swill?

My aunt worked there for decades. She's gone now but my house is still has a lot of stuff from that company.

"scUM Villages" ... Or as they're known in the US: Ann Arbor



/ FTFY

THIS

This is a monumentally stupid idea.

Thing is... that's exactly what the ghettos were when they opened.

I hope they attach some sort of domestically made steering mechanism on them in case it floods.

I wonder what the Dutch version of Section 8 is.

beta_plus: I wonder what the Dutch version of Section 8 is.

New Amsterdam?

It might sound nice until you realize that it gives the 80 year old that loves to biatch about everything all the power.

These guys are not amused

Egoy3k: This is a monumentally stupid idea.

Not as monumentally stupid as paying for peopel to be shiatty neighbors and harrass people in their neighborhood.

We call it Larkhall.

I read the article, but I haven't had my coffee yet, so I'm a bit confused. Are they talking about all undesirable neighbors, or just people who are in public housing already? The former is kind of creepy, but the latter totally make sense. If you want a free house you gotta behave, or you get a crappy free house.

/still socialist
//but do they get phones?!

This will turn Amsterdam into a ghost town. It would be cheaper to move the minority good folk out and erect a fence around it.

Makh: What if that becomes the area with the better restaurants, clubs and artists? I'd imagine it might backfire into a type of NYC where service caters to these types of people very well.

/Yes, I say this and I love NYC.

Ha.

We will call the village "Australia." 

/it's traditional.

Sounds like where Hiro lives

Wouldn't that literally be a ghetto?

bv2112: Wouldn't that literally be a ghetto?

Beat me to it.

Englebert Slaptyback: Does Amsterdam have tornadoes Natural Light?

Can't have a trailer park without tornadoes Natural Light. 

FTFY

bv2112: Wouldn't that literally be a ghetto?

Not de jure, because it's only supposed to be temporary: it's more like a kind of really low-security prison. But we'll see how long "temporary" lasts when put to the tests; I suspect this thing will wind up as a de facto ghetto soon enough.

Personally, I'm horrified by this. Being a jerk should not be a crime.

Saw the pic of Wilders. Thought it was an example of the kind of people they want to put in the villages.

They haven't had trailer parks? Where do they do their tornado testing?

doczoidberg: Scum Village would be a cool band name.

...led by Guybrush Threepwood.

Will the tour bus go through there ??

In ten years we'll be listening to music that came out of this place.

Anti social tennants? The religion of peace will right at home

Millennium: Being a jerk should not be a crime.

It should cost five dollars a month, definitely.
