Weather is shit almost the entire time.

There are more shops selling weed than daily staples like bread and milk.

The rent and the taxes are both very high.

I'll give you that one.

In case you're not trolling; it seems like you're describing Amsterdam's inner city center which is mostly just a large tourist attraction.

Go a bit further out and a coffee shop will be a relatively rare sight and there will be an Albert Heijn on every corner.

We have quite a generous 30% tax deduction for expats. It makes our tax rates quite competitive.
