Copenhagen is NOT Denmark. It is a city in Denmark, and their way of living does not necessarily represent the rest of Denmark. Everywhere else people have 1-2 cars.
The answer to why the negative things ik Denmark are happening, coming from a 14 year old: 1. There is no such thing as bad weather, there is only the wrong clothes. And if you stil say bad weather exist, think about that other countries have bad weather as well. 2. The high taxes is because you don't have to pay for things like healthcare and education. Some people might have a hard time paying for school and a doctor's visit, so it is only fair that those who have the money helt other people out. 3. It is expensive to own a car, because it is better to ride a bike or take public transportation both for the climate, but also for the people in need that actually need a car, like people in wheelchairs.
the anti car policy only works because Denmark has a high level of urbanization as well as average population density. to achieve the same connectivity with public transport in the US or Canada would be a lot more expensive. not to mention, Denmark is flat and has a mild climate so it makes cycling easier.
@@echochamber1234 I think that type of countries should invest in trains. But yeah, that is a really good point, that even applies to some other countries as well.
@@m41437 The US at least is already quite well connected with trains for freight. It‘s okay for freight, because cargo doesn’t care how many stops you need or how long it takes. It just needs to get there. Humans can‘t be treated like that. I lived in the Netherlands, where the train system was good, but if I had more than two changeovers or the wait was more the 15 min or the station was more than a 5 min walk from my destination. I‘d just opt for car or bike or even walking. I‘d imagine wait times, distance between stations, etc. would be absolute shit in the US compared to that.
You complain about Denmark’s weather but all I’m gonna say as a Brit born and raised in England witnessing British weather that I’ve enjoyed 10 years I’ve lived in Denmark and I love it inside out. The winter is not the worst but the summer is definitely the best in the world. I see so many complaints about Danish winter I mean for fuck sake, without a winter there is no fun once summer begins and stays between April til September. Imagine being in a place that’s sunny 365 days a year and how boring it would get? I was in Munich during summer and it was depressing and ugly because it’s landlocked with no fresh air blowing and it got up to 40 degrees everyday. You people know nothing about weather if you complain about Denmark’s weather. Denmark is the best country along with Norway inside out.
In denmark cloudy is good weather I have lived here my whole life and We really dont get too much Sun But when We do Its amazing because of our placement on the globe
Well the only reason why taxes are so high, is because we can go to the hospital without paying, also the police and fire department is completely free too
As a danish guy I can confirm that, Yes Texas are 56% because we get free medical support, and there is bad weather, even summer. Because Denmark is next to the Ocean and Flat.
I’ve lived in Denmark for 11 years now , tho I come from another country, Denmark really has some depressing weathers , overall, it had a lot of nice places tourists can visit , FX the Lille mermaid , it’s really nice seeing someone post about Denmark tho it’s a small country :)
83% of Danish homes have at least 1 car , most people use their car every day for work-in Copenhagen a lot of people bike or use public transport that is mostly due to lack of parking space
Well i guess if you are migrant the winter would be hard, but me a Danish bricklayer its just to damn hot in the summer. I like the winter most, also i never feel cold. I wear shorts all year because its more flexible when you have to bow down after the bricks.
The weather isn’t that bad. Rain = plenty of drinkable water Cold winters = perfect temperature summers And there has never been any natural disasters and lightning and storms are like once a year
Okay Denmark 🇩🇰 taxes are high but it help us more than low taxes see low taxes is good for rich people because they can afford hospital and in Denmark we have high taxes and because of that we can go to hospital all the time and many other things. We have money to make better tings for the civil life and Denmark 🇩🇰 is just the best country
@@andreasklitgaard9537 you have paid for university, everyone has paid for education. But it is not free. That is an ignorant assessment of your country. The top 10 percent is paying your way through life- at least acknowledge that
bad weather is really relative thing. I live in northern germany, we have basically the same weather. So for me sometimes it is too rainy but in general it is ok(almost no freezing temperature in winter, no too hot in summer). I'd say the main problem is lack of sun, usually it's 1-2 hours a day, sometimes even 0(like today 10.06.24 - 0 sun 15 degrees celsious in the afternoon)
Although it’s true taxes r expensive, it’s imo one of the best things abt Denmark, bcz the high taxes make it possible to have an amazing infrastructure - free healthcare, education, insurance, compensation, and overall enough money for the government to keep the roads and streets at a good quality aswell
The high taxes go to finance one of the best wellfare systems in the world and free education for all. In DK you will never have to worry about paying for hospital admittance, seeing your doctor or sending your Kids to university.
Everything in Denmark is more expensive that's why the pay is higher. In actuality, the pay is not higher. It actually should be higher because everything is so expensive.
and another good fact is that the beaches are always clean like no trash and the sand is really soft and ik it cuz im from there but i dont live there but from like breaks my parents me and my brother drive to denmark to visit the rest of the family
Ok the fact about the taxes are true but when I Went to Denmark it was a nice weather and Also people from Denmark have very expensive care like teslas
Cost of living is indeed expensive if you don't earn enough and yes cars and fines and licenses are expensive. But everything is relational and at the end of the day you will still choose Denmark or a better country
It's true about the weather. If I could summarize the Danish weather in one sentence, it would be "not what you expect" You can have snow on the 2nd off November, and yet only 2 days snow during the whole winter. You want hot summers? I hope you enjoy depressing rain for most of it. And you might say "oh, then just expect the weather to be bad" NO. The weather will be good then. It's a weird country, but Legos are cool I guess
The reason Why tax is High is because it also covers any medical & Educationel cost. By that going to the hospital and School or College is always free.
I’am able to sleek Dainish, but I don’t know if you can. So let’s talk in English: You pay high taxes in Denmark so that the Hospital are free and other buildings like schools, kindergarten or many other free entrance buildings.
People always mention how high our taxes are, but they never say what we get out of it. Like free school, hospital (yes we don't pay tons of money to get a child out of us) and so much more stuff.
@@mdnazmul-vm9ib ye we just have high taxes but that includes free medical. (Im not a 100% sure but i know that getting a baby out of u is free). But dental u have to pay for.
@@karanaswath7132 hey. I'm sorry but but u may be asking the wrong person. I'm don't know much about taxes. I am sorry for not could answer fully to your question.
@@Isabella-ny6lk If you don't know much about taxes you should read more about other countries. This is a dumb argument as income tax in Czechia is 18% to 23% (max) where the same applies.
The weather thing is a bit complicated to say the least. Denmark is located in the so-called "weather cross" where the weather is very different, depending on the wind direction. Rule of thumb: South: Hot and dry in the summer, cold and dry in the winter. Southwest: Cool and moist in the summer, mild and wet in the winter. West: Like Southwest, only a little warmer in the summer and a little colder in the winter. Northwest: Cool and dry in the summer, cold and dry in the winter. North: Like Northwest only colder both summer and winter. Northeast: Cold and wet in the summer, cold and snowy in the winter. East: Hot and dry in the summer, cold and snowy in the winter. Southeast: Hot and dry in the summer, cold and snowy in the winter. Since Denmark is located in the World's largest estuarium (brackish sea) and next to the Gulf Stream, the weather often changes on a daily basis. However, sometimes we get "lucky", too, like ten weeks of 30+ centigrade in both 1992 and 2018, 36 Centigrade for a day or two in 2021, and sometimes 3-6 feet of snow and -25 Centigrade for weeks (f.x. three winters in a row from 1984 to 1987). If you want to break the ice with a Dane, just start talking (well, complaining) about the weather; that's almost like a formal greeting in this neck of the World. Or a national sport. :0)
If there are high taxes so they give you all the facilities such as all the free medical treatment and when a child is born they give pocket money in the father's account till the child reaches the age 5 and many more facilities They take 40percent tax from the citizen whether he is earning too high or low it not matters but the government take 40 percent tax after that they don,t take any tax from the citizen Denmark is a place where a person can live with peace and comfort ❤❤
Hello from sunny Los Angeles California. To be, being dry and sunny all year round is boring too. I most looking forward to rainy days we hardly get, so i could stay in and enjoy my cup of hot latte.
If one isn’t content in Denmark, it’s challenging to identify a more satisfying place. Many European countries face the impact of refugees, contributing to shifts in local culture. Crime rates are a concern, and there are challenges with health and welfare systems in some regions.
