Am I reading that right? You want to move from Malta to New York, and you're asking for advice on a Singapore expat forum? :???:

Same for my home town, about 8,000 the year I was born, now up to about 12,000. Our current hometown in the US has 3,500 which gives us plenty of elbow room with 86 resident per square mile :)

P.S. Singapore? 16,800 :?

US census of 2000 shows my home town of St. Michaels with a population of 1,193. It had a 1,470 population in 1950, 3 years after I was born.

I later moved to Easton, 10 miles away where I went to High School and it's population in the 2000 census was finally up to 11,708. The 2008 census shows the population now of 14,677 (most are either retired city folk or congressmen/senators/lawyers/lobbyists, etc from D.C. which is only 70 miles away). But when I was there the population was only around 6500 (1965). 1960 census figure was 6337 while the 1970 figure was 6809.

I can share my experience with Crown. It was a terrible experience that they increased the quoted price after the goods were packed and taken away. Was arrogantly told they will not ship it until I agree to the revised higher price/cu. ft. My repeated calls and emails were ignored and it was a nightmare. Never ever again with Crown.
