Was it worth it? (San Antonio, Austin: real estate, living in, moving)

[Ted]

We are considering moving from California to a small town near Austin or San Antonio when we retire next year. Would appreciate hearing from others who have moved from Califiornia to Texas. Was it worth it - Giving up the So. Cal weather for less expensive Real Estate?

Thanks for your opinions.

Personally,I can't imagine living in the same kind of weather,no matter how moderate,all the time.Give me some changing of seasons regularly anytime.I'll put up with summer to enjoy the change into fall,and with the few cold spells of winter to appreciate the coming of spring.Now if we could just bypass the 100's of summer and go straight from spring to fall .
