Not bad. But for a city of it's size, SA should quite frankly, have more.

Haha, San Fran and LA have five in their city limits, but with their surrounding areas, it jumps to over 20.

SF is a very small city with no more room. |

Well, For its size, LA is is much bigger with population of 3.8M and has only 5 in this list. Pheonix is also bigger than SA, with a population of 1.5M and its not even in this list... so I think SA is positioned quite ok. |

And Clear Channel is selling 1/3 of its assets and is going private. All of its tv stations and 539 of its radio stations are for sale. Not sure if this "downsize" will take it off the F500 list (it is currently ranked #330). Anyways SA has Valero (ranked #16), AT&T (ranked #27 and also the 10th largest US employer), Tesoro (ranked #128), and USAA (ranked #180). The city also has the 5th largest college in Texas. I'd say the city isn't doing bad.
