Out of all the mid-size to large cities in the US do you think that San Antonio is the easiest place to be poor in?

Judging on things to do vs cost of living; what other cities might be in the mix?

and
https://www.thrillist.com/travel/nat...ouses-for-sale

Not even on the list

Why you want to be poor? No education, no useful skills?
Perhaps you should focus on that first...

You can have a lot less in SA and live a lot better than most cities of equal size.

So, yes. I'd agree.

Not quite the truth, according to some of your other posts elsewhere.

I think so. I’ve seen a lot of poor families live a decent living in San Antonio versus places like Los Angeles or even Austin.

Poor is poor.

People in this thread throwing that word around too liberally and lazily.

It’s kind of pathetic actually. NO matter where you live, if you’re poor, you’re not living comfortably.

Also, if you can’t afford living in LA or Seattle, that doesn’t mean you’re poor but let’s say you are poor in those high cost of living cities. Well, if you move to San Antonio and can afford to live here comfortably, then guess what, you’re not poor.

I don't think there's a good city to be poor in...maybe you could say a better city to be poor in. Actually, the cost of housing has been going up so much, S.A. doesn't seem like such a good choice anymore.
