You are going easy on Bernhard Jr. with what he is doing with the real estate he owns
The haves and the have nots…
So what is he actually doing with the real estate he owns?
He is part of the investors who buy up houses in Amsterdam and drive up rental prices , he has been in the news alot for that over the years.
“Drive up rental prices”, how does that work- because last time I checked we live in a world dominated by supply and demand.
Especially with Expats flocking to Amsterdam to work for companies like Booking.com and the expats pay any price, but as soon as Corona started Booking.com was one of the first companies to ask for state support.
What does booking.com has to do with Bernhard Jr.?
“Pay any price”

you clearly do not know what you’re talking about- being a real estate agent in Amsterdam myself and having booking.com as one of our clients.
And there have been complaints about the places he rents out things not getting fixed and all.
You can’t often repair something immediately, that is broken- something a lot of tenants do not understand, but house owners do.
Been going on for awhile that there is even talk about a Bernhard Tax to make sure when you own a property you actually have to live in it to stop these investors just buying up houses to live in.
Jealousy driven- a lot of people do have the ‘spending power’ to afford an apartment in Amsterdam- as proven by the number of transactions.
On the other hand Zandvoort has been falling in decay over the years so part of having the GP there is also sort of having the Olympics in East London so to invest back into the community. They do have a better rail connection and such which is government funded, but because of the GP
This being a Formula 1 website- I honestly do not understand the fuss? Be thankful someone stook out his neck, in order to arrange for a Dutch GP.
