> The Netherlands has a lot more land suitable for residential housing and a lot less density. If this is hitting "the limit", then they're not doing it right.

Why do you presume that all land suitable for residential housing should be destroyed by residential housing? There are far more types of uses than that.

There is far more to life than having a place to work and to sleep.

I'm not making those assumptions. You should come to TW and do some bike-riding around the island sometime. It's beautiful.

i'm planning to in a few months! would love any pointers or recommendations :)

Not GP but I highly recommend visiting the east coast of the island. The population density is much lower and it's really beautiful. You have to visit Taroko Gorge, which is a canyon with marble walls. It's amazing!

Except you are. Your attempt to refute the fact that the Netherlands has not hit any limit is to make baseless claims that "it has more land suitable for residential housing".
