If you're gonna work at HPN try to look north in Putnam County NY. Brewster comes to mind and right over the state line in CT there is Danbury. It's about a 45 min ride down I684 if it's not raining out. It's still expensive but a little better up there.

Downwind: Our property taxes are high because we don't have a state income tax. In NY there's a state income tax, and depending on where he lives, there may be a city income tax! (NYC and Yonkers, e.g.)
