Census: Residents leaving high-cost Westchester regionhttp://www.lohud.com/article/2011102210322
By Tim Henderson • The Journal New February 21, 2011
Seth Granville left his Lower Hudson Valley hometown in 2008 and hasn't looked back.
The price of his co-op in Hartsdale, about $250,000, bought a custom-built home in the suburbs of Austin, Texas.
"I'm never coming back," said Granville, 31, a paramedic and an Ardsley native. In fact, his mother has since moved down, and his wife, Kristen, is from Yorktown Heights.
He misses the commuter train, but not the $12,000 annual tax bill for his small apartment.
"My taxes are cheap, food is much more affordable and we've got basically all the things a big city has in a small city," Granville said.
"They can tell I'm from New York by my accent," Granville said. "But now my daughter (Madeleine, born in August) and my dog are both native Texans."

Another Disturbing Dissapointment
Really dissapointed that I drove all the way to San Antonio tonight to see Disturbed, only to find out they cancelled due to an "emergency illness". I hope whomever is ill is getting better, and I wish them the best. However, I think the band would at least have posted something on Facebook or their site as to what happpened by now-there were a ton of pissed off fans.
The last two times I saw Disturbed they sucked anyways, David Draiman could hardly sing and barely had any stage presence or enthusiasm left that he used to have at his concerts, and now this. Thanks to Monster Energy Drinks and their label for forcing Disturbed on a relentless touring schedule for the past few years, which I feel ruined David's voice and led to the cancellation of this show.
Hopefully, the rumors are true and he really does live in Austin,TX now and will play Frank Erwin Center or something for his new hometown......
