Talk:Newburgh (town), New York

Dubious statement
From the History section: "In the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks, even more people sought to leave the New York metropolitan area. This is reflected in the U.S. Census Bureau estimates that the town grew by 3,000 just in the five year period from 2000 to 2005 alone." [source]

The source provided can substantiate the population increase, but not where the people came from or their reasons for doing so. --JBC3 (talk) 20:59, 9 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I have now deleted the controversial statement.


 * I know that this statement is true due to the dozens of persons who have come to my office over the past seven years telling me this is why they moved to Newburgh. I have also heard this attested to by police officers.  However, there is no "hard" evidence to document it, so I thought it would be best simply to delete it.


 * The fact that thousands upon thousands of people moved away, and moved their familes away, from New York City, as a result of 9/11 is one of those things that everyone seems to know, but no one wants to admit, especially in writing or in an official capacity.


 * To admit it is like saying the terrorists "won". --- nghtownclerk  11:58 a.m. June 15, 2009


 * Yeah, sounds like even though it is likely true, it is original research. If a published source prints something to this effect, though, I'm happy to see it return with a citation. I've removed my tag. --JBC3 (talk) 06:01, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Way too much stuff
This page is huge and has too many subtopics that are far from short. The Communities subtopic is extremely long. I believe this needs to be cut down a lot. Every single subtopic is like a whole written page in a book, and Communities looks like a chapter. It would be better if each item was mentioned and only a brief (one or two lines) description given. hello (talk) 10:59, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
