No more Dutch treat

I wonder how far this will get re Amsterdam...
After all coffeeshops (places that allow the sale of drugs and their smoking on the premises) bring in a huge amount of tourism. And stricter rules elsewhere in the city mean public behaviour is far better contained. I felt SO safe in the 'Dam. Okay, I lived in London and felt safe there, but honestly, walking out of a coffeeshop and past a small outpost of the Red Light District was easily more comfortable than walking down Leyton High Street (E10)
