Fair enough, but San Antonio is still a tier below Austin, Dallas, and Houston.

The people that run the city. They're so busy worrying about their "position" vs other Texas cities that they end up ruining the chances they've had.

He was probably reffering to young, single people. Yes, I was once single living in SA many years ago and I too found it boring. Came back many years later as a married man with different priorities and am fully content with living here.

I said perhaps. It was a hypothetical statement in the event. Pay attention.

I'm down on anyone who takes less when they should be making much more.

However, I'm high on those who know their worth and leave to get it (or more).

Unless you come with money or work in very small, specific sectors, SA is a poor, working class town.

I don't know who's life that is, but it sounds like hell.

To some, perhaps.

I never wanted that. I travel, a lot.

I always wanted more than just the typical suburban life.

I totally get that… Cant you live basically anywhere with an airport and still be able to travel wherever you want though? I don’t see how travel really changes living in San Antonio vs Dallas or Austin vs any other big city.
