I have lived in San Antonio all my life, so I feel very qualified to comment, of course from my point of view. Most people know Austin has exploded with traffic and is super expensive, Housing, Homeless, cost of living etc. I like the weirdness of Austin, there are more fun things to do in Austin, people are more educated, open minded, some might say more liberal and yes it is very expensive in Austin.. San Antonio is a tourist town. We have the Alamo, Riverwalk, Fiesta Texas, Sea world etc. Most locals do not go to these places as we have already been too many times. The cost of buying a house here has tripled in the last 5 years, although nowhere near as expensive as Austin. The City counsel here is conservative, the Church has a big influence on them, you won't find anything "risque" here in San Antonio like you will in Austin. The Traffic is becoming bad here. the Food is great here, but small business is not as supported as much as in Austin. San Antonio is a very Hispanic Latino town, some people call it "Little Mexico" Just walk into most Walmarts and you will hear more Spanish than English because Spanish is common here, less so in Austin. People in San Antonio are blue collar, not as many have a University degree as in Austin. The last time I looked 65% of Austin has a University degree, and 25% of San Antonio. So, what it comes down to is what a person wants and what they can afford. Do they want a University of Texas city with High Tech jobs like Austin, or come to "Little Mexico" for the food and still a sort of "small town" feel, which is fading very fast!
you just destroy the dude video with this nice comment :))
Born and raise in SA and spent the last 8 years in the Austin/Round Rock area - Austin is very liberal. Their policies and lack of common sense have ruined a beautiful city. The "weird" is gone and replaced with mental illness. To live there both parties have to make 6 figures. Since 2020 the housing prices literally doubled. San Antonio has conservative people but their city council now has copied Austin, who copied San Francisco, which to me means all the government follow the same play book. Texas used to be Mexio, so this little Mexico feel, could just be the culture you can still feel in SA.
@@janelleringersma229 thanks for input. I'm not sure what you mean by the "weirdness" is gone in Austin, and replaced by Mental illness? I think Austin will always be a little weird. I agree with you on the six figures to live in Austin. My Cousins had to move out of Austin just to live decent, they live in Killen Tx and Florence TX. my Other Cousin moved outside of Dallas. As most people should know all of Texas was once part of Mexico, but the feeling of "little Mexico" is Very strong here in San Antonio, not so much in Austin and further North in Texas. I guess because San Antonio is the first proper city after crossing the border going up IH35N I'm not complaining about it being Little Mexico, It is what it is. I've heard good things about Round rock and Georgetown. I've never stayed long in those towns, just passed through.
As a Floridian that has visited a lot of Texas, Austin feels super fake and contrived....San Antonio feels like an actual city with history
@@WalksandSuch Here we go with feelings again. How about some specific facts? Is it just because of Alamo or Riverwalk ? I moved to Austin area in 2013, I live in Round Rock. I've been to San Antonio many times. Have you been to Riverwalk around a holiday weekend? It's a tourist trap. Not as bad as SXSW or Austin City Limits but it's just bunch of the same. Too many people, too crowded, everything overpriced. I've driven around both cities around rush hour, both are horrible. So is Houston and so is Dallas. I just don't understand how you can determine one is fake and the other is more natural and more historical. Is there more development in Downtown Austin? Absolutely and that's it.
I've been here for 2 years for my military job. I also frequent Austin to try the restaurants and hike. Austin gave me the feel of NYC (born & raised).
I moved to SA about 3 yrs from Europe. Have been to 30 states in the US too so I guess I'm qualified to compare SA to other places. Overall it's OK . Definitely has its nice spots especially outside of L1604 . The downtown area is made for our tourists which is always a nice place to visit. Other than that SA or Bexar County has A LOT of run down areas. High poverty , homelessness is on the rise, lots of unmaintaned landscape. If you don't choose to live in an HOA area expect to see lots of properties being unmaintaned that also includes houses.😂 The roads are in such a bad shape. LITTER omg , I haven't seen this much of litter all over an entire county anywhere else outside of Texas. People here love to litter, so much for Texas pride. The food culture isn't outstanding. You get 10 mexican restaurants within a 1 mile radius and most of the restaurants lack of hygiene. Not just mexican restaurants!!! Public transportation isn’t the greatest either but that's pretty much in most places of the US. I could list so much more negative things but I'm going to stop here. My advice to everyone who has SA on their radar. Cheap cost of living always comes with a downside. You get what you pay for. This place has so much potential but it's the culture that prevents this place from becoming a better place. I give SA a 5.5 out of 10.
I agree with most of what you said. Just curious what made you leave Europe? cost of living too much also? Most Public transportation is the US is not great. We love our cars! and don't want to take the super slow public bus system to get around. Uber has made it easier, but still pricey. USA is not Europe when it comes to public transportation, I wish we better options for transport.
Austin is a woke California style city. San Antonio is a beautiful city I hope California transplants don’t screw it up.
they will, they will go and destroy each city in texas as much as they could and then move to the nearest state to do the same
Define Woke BOY
@@rop7101 they want transformers in girls restrooms, pro criminal, pro illegal immigration, pro high taxes, pro expanding socialist government handouts at the expense of devaluing our currency, pro inflation, pro looting, pro arson, pro feelings overs facts, anti cop, pro low expectations for minorities, pro equity, anti merit, pro pedo, pro pride parades with children attending, pro drags dancing in front of children, anti gun, anti freedom, pro mask by force, pro forced vaccines that haven’t withstood the test of time, pro lockdown, anti small business, anti family, pro racism, pro rioting, pro men competing against women, anti science, anti facts, pro propaganda
They will that’s how liberalism works
And San Antonio is a s-hole
Austin is Central Texas and San Antonio is South Texas. Basically Central Texas is more Anglo culture and South Texas more Mexican culture. York Creek on I-35 divides those two regions. If you really want to ponder this, stop of at the nearby Buc-ees and take it all in. :)
Love your videos, but that repeating music in the background drives me crazy to the point where I can’t finish watching them.
San Antonio is ok. And if people are moving here is because is cheap. If you are moving here don’t move far away from downtown. Specially if you are young. Don’t want to be trapped in the suburbia cuz it’s boring af.
San Antonio sucks, the best thing about San Antonio is the rain and HEB, there's a weird sinister arrogance about the people here. And I'm from Texas born and raised many many many many many generations over. People are oddly aggressive.
I'm planning on moving there. Hopefully, it's not ruined like Austin by the time I move there.
I really don’t expect it too. It’s not even close to the level of people moving here as Austin had in 2021. Their population grew by 121,000 between 2020-2022.
Austin's growth rate peaked around 3%. Really not that much if you consider Chicago grew at 9% during its peak growth around the 1890s. We've been following California's development model of sprawl and subdivisions and are therefore on a similar trajectory. Thankfully we are starting to implement some changes, notable the HOME initiative. Won't make much a dent on its own, but gives me hope we can chart a different path than CA. I think competition for new arrivals with SA is healthy 😊
San Antonio is an absolute boring city and no culture. No offense to anyone. They move there because it’s cheap
Unless you believe there will be no recession prices will have to come down. Maybe not as much as other places but prices are staring to be reduced.
everything in life goes in cycles
Agreed 100%.
San Antonio is Austin's disabled brother
Keep Austin Weird and Keep San Antonio Lame my friend.
San Antonio also built places like Morgan's Playground for that brother. SA there is a since of community that I feel that Austin has lost.
@@streetpharmacist I'm born and raised in San Antonio. I take offense to this comment. At the same time, I LOL'd 😂
@@streetpharmacist Austin is SA’s broke, insecure, OF sister who’s loosing subscribers, daily.
San Antonio’s crime is getting so bad . And pricing for housing is rediculous a lot of apartments are adding rediculous fees
A lot of homeless shootings robberies etc surrounding downtown and 10 miles radius
might not be as exspensice as Austin or crowded but not a cake walk either
I totally agree. Crime has gotten real bad! shootings, robbery, drive by shootings, road rage. 3-4 people get killed in SA every day from these things. As for rent, I can only imagine what an 1 bedroom apartment cost now. my guess is $1000 a month or more depending on what side of town.
I find it funny that the people saying “don’t California my Texas” are the same people voting for people giving companies the huge tax incentives which brings in the companies which in turn brings in the people. You can’t have both.
details :))
Because it's cheaper, thats the only reason. Your video should be 10 seconds long.
Some may agree but MANY don’t. There are tons more reasons to move to SA from Austin than just that.
Facts! Once the economy comes back and interest rates fall, the austin international attractiveness will return and so will folks moving in
😂😂😂😂😂😂 first time I’ve
Heard this - native austinite
32 years
ALSO THERE IS NO AUSTIN SAN ANTONIO HATE,
maybe in San Antonio jealous of all the revenue created , San Antonio being on ih35 corridor it has cheaper drugs, and it’s no worry of mine I love my southern brothers but San Antonio also has more illegals as its the stop before Austin .
Again more stuff I’ve never heard… this video is insane San Antonio people are weird 😂😂😂
Keep sa traditional not weird 🙏🏻
Austin stopped being weird when it became a marketing campaign. SA is far more "weird" which is what makes it great.
Ive noticed that San antonio is starting to Build Up (Multi story) which is needed to keep up with demand . Only problem is alot of places especially around downtown are being gentrified so slowly the city will lose pieces of its culture which is part of its lore and small town feel . Only a matter of time though before people reshuffle/relocate again . Wonder when corpus will see its turn .
I had to relocate because of my job, I chose SATX only because the cost of living is the cheapest, and not politics. San Antonio is pretty liberal from what I’ve experienced (excluding suburbs north of the city). I wouldn’t want to live in a super conservative city (IDK if conservative cities even exist). Definitely an up and coming military city, and everywhere I look new housing is popping up. I chose to live downtown, because the suburbs are not for me.
There is only 5 fun things to do in San Antonio 😂 Mexican food is certainly better than Austin’s but Austin is more fun
If that’s what you think then Austin is the place for you! Enjoy! I personally don’t have that on my top 10 most important things for where I’m calling home but I know some people do.
People move to Texas and the i35 corridor because we are #1.
If you are looking to buy at this time you might want to get a cognition test.
what's your prediction/opinion on how new build prices and interest rates will look like around May of next year? That's the timeframe I'm looking at to move myself and my family over to San Antonio from California. I'm a Marine Corps veteran and would be bringing my conservative votes with me.
Going to be really hard to say. Quite honestly, what I’ve seen in the past is the year after the election there are usually a ton of changes. Could stay roughly the same as it is or interest rates could get a little better. We’re down at 6.5% for conventional but most all VA loans are in the 5’s right now. Theres also a great chance that with interest rates going down a bit and after everyone who is holding off on buying for the election comes back in the market next spring that the market could be more competitive. New Builds have always offered incentives and I don’t expect that to change but just depending on the market conditions will depend on how much they’re offering. Feel free to send me a message and we can keep an eye on things starting earlier next year! 830-832-2466
Awesome! My wife and I also - from Illinois. Bought some land out in the country about 45 min from downtown. Keep Texas beautiful and red.
The good thing about San Antonio is that it has lots of space to grew I would suggest to go to the out skirts of the city u can get some nice property SA has a good highway system to it's a short drive from the put skirts to downtown very military friendly Denver Heights is close to downtown but it's all remodels lots of military in that area
I left Austin for Texas as soon as I could!!
Perfectly said!
Okay now everyone will move to San Antonio and you'll whine about it being "woke" in ten years.
Dont mess with Texas.
San antonio
..san Fran of texas... they can move and have it
I would 100% disagree. Austin is definitely “New San Francisco”.
How about affordability
Not in SA anymore. you want cheap rent, houses, move to Brownsville in deep South Texas. Hope you can speak decent Spanish.
San Antonio's is mad lame!
Please stay away from San Antonio don't bring ur Austin leftist bs down here. SA is 65% Mexican super conservative that's what makes the city so chill please don't come ruin it
lol true, no need for blue haired overweight with ford fusion here.
Huh? San Antonio is super conservative??? Hardly
San Antonio has always been “leftist”, sure Austin is way more “leftist” than San Antonio but that doesn’t mean most people in San Antonio are more on the progressive side
@@Calizen yes of course it's always like that in cities but at least it's not out of hand
@@jujugarcianyc no Mexicans r conservative
Please stop moving to Austin.. please stop moving to Texas we are full!!
@@ericnewman6523 the amount of empty houses says otherwise
@@Wizlume there are no empty houses you can’t even drive down the street without a traffic jam. what are you even talking about?
@@ericnewman6523 traffic and housing are two separate things lol. you can pick any austin neighborhood and find 20-50 houses for sale gtfoh lol. Austin has a market inventory rate of 5.9 right now. these are all facts that can not be argued.
@@Wizlume You are sadly making a goofball mistake. Austin has blown up in population and so have all the areas near by. I’m willing to bet you don’t live in or near Austin you just watch CZcams and base your decision on that… goofyy
@@ericnewman6523 you can’t get more Austin than N. Lamar St. lol
