I'm trying to understand your fundamental point. "That Singapore is losing foreigners because it is so expensive to live?" If that's the argument, then I agree. But you've got a lot of other stuff doesn't speak towards that end because it's talking about how cheap it is for citizens. If you're a citizen, it's quite affordable to live in SG vs many other first world countries, all inclusive. US seems cheap at first, but factor in any amount of healthcare and you've got a real problem on your hands. HK far out weighs housing costs. Still trying to understand the core thought.
