I've spend alot of time in Amsterdam and I absolutely love the city. I live in California and try to get out there once or twice a year because I love it so much.
The people are the best you will ever meet. The city is totally safe, especially if you are used to living in a busy metropolitan area. The only thing you have to worry about is the red light district late at night if you are stoned out of your mind and don't appear to be too alert. I have been confronted by a few scam artists in that area, but by no means did I fear for my life. This is Holland, people don't kill people in Holland. At least not compared to here (USA)
If I could get cleared through imigration I wouldn't hesitate to move over there. The cost can't be what I'm paying now for rent..at $1060 US dollars a month for a small one bedroom.
Do it if you have the chance, consider yourself lucky.
