Also a denser/walkable city with decent transit vs. a sprawling city with almost non-existent transit.

The only thing they have in common is having Navy bases nearby.

Exactly, Seattle and Jacksonville are both water cities, which to me was one of the biggest deciding factor why I couldn't choose Jacksonville.

San Antonio is almost 200 miles to the nearest open water, it is oppressively hot much more than Jacksonville (17 100+ days just this year), the terrain is much more brown and dry than Jacksonville, and the culture (its TEXAS folks, and 60% Latino) is very different from either city.

Jacksonville is literally the anti-Seattle.
