In Baarle-Nassau and Baarle-Hertog, which is essentially one village split between the Netherlands and Belgium in the messiest way possible, I think it's based on where the front door is

Oh I'd never call myself a conservative, and most conservative parties here are right-wing as well.

Edit: I should probably start by saying that this is somewhat off-topic.

In the Netherlands we tend to rank our parties along left-right and progressive-conservative axes separately. Conservative-left gets you Christians who care about the poor. In other countries there's also the "I want the government to support our workers", "I want to go back to Soviet times" and "I'm leftist but LGBTQ is wrong" types.

Honestly no, never, and that feels more like a problem of not having proper cycling paths. Nobody wants to cycle on the sidewalk.

At least here in the Netherlands, there was a lot of commotion because a data centre tried to buy a windmill park meant to power households as their dedicated power source

Maybe they're Dutch, there it's only done for words that end in a vowel. Probably not though.

In Dutch we only talk about turning screws clockwise and counterclockwise
