Nice video 👍 Texas (the whole Texas Triangle) needs to be connected with High Speed rail. One day we’ll look back and wonder why we were so against it..

I just purchased a New home in Hickory Ridge on the South East side. In Elmendorf, Beautiful homes at affordable prices. Pool and lazy river coming in the spring. Hwy 181 and 1604.

I wish that location was a little further up north like closer to 410. I’d definitely be on it

Our current interest rates are actually pretty good when you look back a few decades from the 80s. Rates were way higher, and bottomed out around pre-COVID. They're just settling to where they probably should be, but people got spoiled on the super low rates. Meanwhile because of COVID, materials and labor skyrocketed. We have an overabundance of commercial real estate versus housing. Some of that, such as in Cattleman's Square, is trying to be developed, but it's being blocked as "historical" in order to allow certain projects to move forward under the Castillo / Graciela regime. It's not just the special taxing, that's happened for awhile, it's also the forced historical designation of certain buildings that aren't really important historically other than being a cold storage warehouse for food. They want the historical designation, so they can of course... get a tax break. But the people are the ones that will be paying for it, as that Fed money is tax money... which comes from... the people. So the developers want to lower their budget costs, because they aren't allowed to build normal housing on the Inner West Side thanks to the socialist views of D5 and stranglehold of the Historic Committee and Zoning, which want to push San Antonio's SHIP plan (10 year housing plan) which only focuses on high density "affordable" housing... which you guessed it... means a skyrocketed pricing on building because nothing done with Fed money is ever cheap, and the people get to pay for it in taxes.

🔥 great content thanks for this useful update as an agent in the city

I hope to see taller buildings in the downtown San Antonio area meaning buildings at the height of 70 stories high and River Center Mall expanding From commerce Street to Houston Street with Nordstrom, Macys and Dillards back in the mall Sense people are moving down town and don’t have to drive far north side of town. But I might remark’s from people about they don’t want San Antonio being another Austin Tx but I think we can do better than the city of Austin. Smarter thinking how developers can build things here.

Excellent presentation

I agree. Very through.

We need an elevated light rail all over the city. Having a metro the size of SA that's run ONLY with busses is pure insanity. Put in elevated light rail that runs along the freeway system (above and beside) and is fed by the existing busses. Make sure to have major stops near all the major attractions/districts and the airport. Have northern stations tie into a regional rail that runs to Austin and ties into theirs. Eventually have regional rails that run to Houston, Corpus, Laredo and El Paso....with Dallas tying in from Austin/Houston. But the regional stuff is secondary. This city NEEDS light rail. Just building ridiculously huge highways and displacing homeowners and businesses is NOT a solution. Neither is VIA's "plan" for bus-only bypass lanes and such. NOT a solution and will actually make traffic congestion worse.

What’s the big building at 151 and Wiseman?

Those special development region taxes or property improvement fees are something that came to everyone from the Sacramento, CA urban redevelopment model and it is a cancer.

I heard that tiny home developer sold about half his housing. What a damn rip of resources. People are brainless.

Probably will be used by investors as rentals

The old woodlake golf course is becoming a park any news on that?

Hopefully these houses on the southside brings better wifi options over here they completely skipped our house on fiber a while ago before we moved in so we just got nothin

I just wish that the roads on the south side could become better overnight. It is freaking terrible.
