Default Exactly right,

San Antonio is located at a geographical transition zone, from the humid southeast coastal climate to
the arid southwest.
It is humid, yet dry and hardly ever rains. We are in the middle of another drought.

You might want to look north of San Antonio in the Hill Country area if you want some acreage.

All I can say is compared to Vegas, when you come here your eyes will hurt with the green! Just today, we were driving near Camp Bullis and my daughter (new here from So Cal) said "It's so green here". Drought or not - it's green!

The drought doesn't affect the landscape green of the trees, just the grass really because people can't water their lawns as much because of restrictions.

Default IT IS, Green,

It is still April. Inferno hasn't arrived yet. We need a milder hurricane, or two. Maybe one side of that little concrete eyesore, Medina Dam, would disappear. The Lake is at 3.5% of capacity.

Lots of green here imo. A lot of trees where I live. I think you would like it compared to Vegas.

Acreage in the Hill Country can be expensive, depending on your income. Many parts of it are seriously deficient in available water (and will be more so in the future), so you'd have to be picky...not only about amount of rain, water availability, water quality and water restrictions, but also when the big rains DO come, certain areas can occasionally have dangerous flash floods. East of IH-35 it gets a bit better about rain. And BTW, the drought DOES affect trees! Many people in the area where I live lost some trees in the drought. In fact, there weren't many species of flora and fauna that weren't severely impacted to some extent.
