So is the largest contributor to the problem just lack of land? Seems like most of the other problems from the article can be solved with money, but a lack of land makes it hard to build anything

Hold the phone… Are you saying there is no bedrock in the Netherlands?
Not sure if there isnt any, but I know most of it is soft. It is the reason why Amsterdam and Rotterdam cannot have a skyline like New York, which has unique properties that allows the Americans to build that high
Not in the part that’s under sea level. Can’t have basements there either
What does being under sea level have to do with bedrock? Bedrock exists under the sea too.
Can’t have a basement though
