This is definitely nitpicky, but a better translation (imo) for "gemeente" is municipality. You're spot on otherwise. Tbf though, in much of the Randstad, a car is not a requirement for a good life and if the new residential developments are properly equipped with good OV connections, then we should use that space for parking to instead build more homes.

Since moving from the US to (rural) Limburg, I've been shocked how much less I need to drive. My partner still drives to work every day, but even then, they will come home and then walk to the supermarket instead of stopping with the car.
