46 out of 50 is an F.
So you defined what word applies to each range of ranking. That's cute, here's a star for you.

Though I should let you know it doesn't make it true. That parts the stickler.

See, this is what I don't like and understand about people like you who come here and bash the city and shout that you want to argue facts but all you do is argue opinions as facts.

I just think that we need to be realistic about how the downturn HAS affected San Antonio.
No, not at all. You are on here quite frequently touting both the positives and the negatives. Your candor is refreshing, and many people benefit from your input--it would be silly for all of us to log on and sing kumbaya about SA and ignore the negatives. And I freely admit, there ARE negatives to living here. My opinion, and I'm spouting mine because they spout theirs, is that they ONLY appear when there is an opportunity to say something disparaging regarding San Antonio.

specially the owner of "dollar" stores

You seem to discount that we also have the lowest cost of living. You need to look at the WHOLE picture. People here are paid less and they also spend less to be here.

She did not need to as you obviously don''t don't listen unless its a fact that supports your claims.

Totally agree. SA is performing well because there is nothing to lose here in the first place. LOL. I'm sorry but SA needs to step it up if it wants to be on the map like Dallas, Austin, and Houston. Let's get rid of that "small town" thinking here and bring in more corporate companies to help ramp up the SA market.

No..let's not. We like small town thinking and living.

“We”? Who would be “we” be? If you are a small mom & pop business, then yes. Great place for business as such but for those who are in a different market and want to see SA ramp up, we have to start thinking differently. I am not saying the corporate world is great but they can drive the local economy.

Clearly you've got no clue the difference between fact and opinion. The average salaries in most fields in San Antonio are lower comparable to most other metro areas, and that ranking proves it.

Let me guess, that ranking and any other which goes against your inflated view of the city is "bogus", right?
