Jobs- San Antonio
Shopping- San Antonio
Restaurants- Nashville- Outside TexMex, SA has crappy variety.
Economy- San Antonio
Quality of Life- SA has the lowest cost of living among the top 40 Metros, but I personally think the QOA sucks.
Housing costs- San Antonio
Public Transportation- Nashville
Nightlife- Tie
Weather- Nashville
Parks- Tie
Lifestyle- Nashville

Overall: Two places that are very low on my places that I would live. I dunno which to choose.

I guess I would give the slight edge to Nashville

I like warmer weather so I'd rather live in San Antonio. Whatever San Antonio lacks it's not a far drive to Austin to make up for it.

San Antonio is about 700k bigger than nashville. Both are desirable cities, but San Antonio is growing faster and is an all around bigger city. Ive been to both Memphis and nashville, My friends cousin that lived there called it Nashvegas, not sure why. It was an alright city nothing bad to say.

Nashville has a single commuter rail line...but it's not very significant at this point. It's a trial line that was done for very low cost...so it actually doesn't even serve any of Nashville's largest suburbs.


Other than that...pretty much buses, shuttles, and trolleys for Nashville. There is a cool new free bus circuit that runs through a few routes downtown.

San Antonio

I like the culture better.

More Catholics less Southern Baptists.

Its also close to the Texas Hill Country & Gulf Coast. I'm a fanatic for anything tropical.
