Im not from the Netherlands,or Denmark, but here is an idea.
You could accomplish home or appartment ownership, close to the city by making it affordable. The government and or private investors could build units on a no gain plan. That is people could purchase them at an inexpensive price with the following conditions, 1) They cannot then sell the unit for more than they paid + inflation, 2) no area for a car. People then could buy an affordable home (apartment) close to the city and have the joy of this without trying to make money out of it, ensuring there is a stock of affordable homes, and it would encourage bike use..

It is great to see such a bicycle friendly city and community. I think the biggest problem here in the U.S. is how far so many people live from where they work. Part of the problem is the “American Dream” of owning a home. People here in San Diego county buy homes 60 miles + from where they work because this is where they can afford a home.
