    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!

      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.

      ​@@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 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.

    • @williesteele4503
      @williesteele4503 Před 17 dny

      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'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 😊

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.

      @LifeinSATX  Před měsícem +1

      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
