I really can't decide in which city to relocate.

I include The Hague in Rotterdam, since they're REALLY close.
I also include Mechelen in Antwerp, since they're somewhat close too.

So yeah, what are the pros and cons of the 3 cities? Which is the best to relocate to...

So far, here are my thoughts

Pros :
Amsterdam :
- Biggest city
- Beautiful city (Canals)
- Good size (about the same size city I live in right now which is 3mill)
- Capital
- Low income tax (?)

Rotterdam :
- Modern city
- A lot of parks and trees (green)
- More american - alike city.
- The city is located in the center - equal distance between Antwerp, Amsterdam, Utrecht, etc.
- Low income tax (?)
- Low living cost (?)
- Best city for IT.

Antwerp :
- The most beautiful city out of all three (in my opinion anyways)
- I already have friends there
- Nice apartments offered for a low price
- Low living cost (?)

Cons :
Amsterdam :
- Too compact. The city's too small for 2 million residents
- High living cost (?)

Rotterdam :
- People living there seem to be USUALLY lower class compared to amsterdam / antwerp. (I have no idea, that's what I've been told)

Antwerp :
- High income tax (?)
- The city seems to be... dirty and unkept.



That's mainly observations from what my friends living there have told me. Are they right?

Which city to choose?

The best city is the one where your employer is. End of story.

You think Antwerp-Amsterdam is commutable twice a day? Maybe if you're a helicopter owner...

No matter how close it looks on a map, you will be stuck in huge traffic jams in peak hours between most cities.
