I heard about this, and more last time I was in Amsterdam.
They also wish to reduce the amount of 'windows' in Red Light District and are trying to get rid of the coffee shops & seed/paraphernalia sellers too
...and they are also trying to gentrify the Red Light District too

Turkeys voting for Christmas comes to mind
Not entirely the same but this reminded me of the episode "The City Part of Town" of South Park S19 E03, "SoDoSoPa".

I thought the same!
I used to like to pop into Baba's shop & look at their glassware... and usually buy something to come home with But last time, half their floor space was taken with tacky souvenirs (think clogs & postcards), apparently it was by order of he powers that be... or be threatened with being closed as it was, apparently, the 'wrong sort of business' for the area FFS!
Don't care.... Baba's used to have the most exquisite glassware, much of it too intricate to travel with (and bloody expensive!). No loud music being blasted out, no hard sell - the place was a pleasure to visit. It is places like that I see as improving an areas standing, not dragging it down! But I'm probably just a bit pissy as the best steak house in Amsterdam (IMHO) was a little further up & now it is a hipster paradise burger joint

Don't get me wrong, sometimes things go too far.... my first visit to the Dam saw me & the missus looking in a sex shop with videos that had pictures on their videos that didn't appear in 'Lassie come home' ! (but we did find a great place for a fry up - that has also gone)
