I’ve now surveyed the Dutch housing market for a couple weeks, and two things strike me as odd:

1) for a country that’s largely located under sea level, remarkably few places list “moat” as a selling point. I mean, a weekend and a shovel and you’re golden with tremendous added value.

2) for a country that’s so eerily close to Germany, a surprisingly low number of the listings take care to list the defence systems. No mounds. No rail gun nests. No watch towers. At most a bike shed. How am I supposed to defend myself next time Germany gets all invadey?
