Some great advice here. 👍🏾What made you watch this video? I'm learning about REI in SATX.

Lived in SA since 1960, I have loved everything about this town except the heat/humidity until recently. Two things are ruining SA, the first is the flood of new people (mostly Hipsters), and the second is the gentrification (mostly by and for the new Hipsters). It's the same in all cities but for SA, the "big city with the small town feel" it is having a larger impact than most, it's completely taken our identity. The best thing about living in SA was even though we were a huge city we still new our neighbors, we shared potato salad on the 4th in Brackenridge, we had block parties together, our daughters attended each others quinceañeras, our sons learned to fish together in Salado creek, we waved at each other when we passed on the road, we gathered together at Fiesta for the Battle of the Flowers parade, we smiled and said howdy as we passed on the sidewalks even if we'd never met before, and no matter if you lived in Las Palmas, Jefferson Heights, Donaldson Terrace, Monte Vista, Village North, or any other neighborhood on any side of town you felt comfortable going to and were welcomed in any other neighborhood. We were more than a big city, we were Tejas, we prided ourselves on being friendly and welcoming, on helping out before being asked, on checking on our elderly, on taking care of each other. All that is slipping away, has slipped away. If you have lived in SA for some time, 20-years or more, then you too remember how it used to be, SA was different than any other big city anywhere, we were special. Our soul has been taken and in its place are horrid. new 800-unit 5-story plastic apartments full of plastic hipsters who care only for themselves and don't know and don't care to understand the culture of SA or the peasants their shiny new building displaced. It's truly a shame, and to make it worse still they look down on us as though we are the problem. Those of us who would go out of our way to give them a helping hand are made to feel we are in the way simply for existing. So come or don't, moved here or not, what you will find here now is just a carbon copy of any miserable big city, a bunch of self-centered hipsters, plus unbearable heat and humidity. Sounds like hell, and it is. Vaya Con Dios, y'all.

As someone who drives all around this city for work, nobody on these "San Antonio explained" videos ever seems to talk about how large portions of the city look dilapidated/run down. It is an old city, I get it, but a lot of it is just people not taking care of their neighborhoods. Also there are stray animals everywhere. It is common to see packs of dogs roaming around in certain areas. I like San Antonio, don't get me wrong, but you need to talk about it.

@SaritaBizZenBOPPin I primarily moved to SA because of the diversified, long-term economic growth. Michigan is a state in decline with a declining economy, high taxes that are increasing, high cost of living that is increasing, and a state budget on the verge of collapse due to Granholm and Whitmer intentionally chasing out the people who provide the bulk of the tax revenue. I prefer the warmth over the heat, palm trees over potholes, sunny days over gray skies, and freedom over constant government encroachment. I don't miss the high crime, blight, and poverty of Detroit. I prefer peace, beauty, and potential. Texas is what California once was: the land of opportunity. Texas is what America should be.

Keep in mind that, although you can buy a lot more house for your money in San Antonio, you're going to pay an arm and a leg not just in property taxes, but in UTILITIES, to cool your house all summer and warm it in the winter. Furthermore all the bigger, newer houses are in "developments," "planned communities" and "gated communities," meaning you'll pay HOA dues on top of all that. Texans who supposedly take pride in their freedom and independence will pay for these mini-governments to tell them they can't work on their cars in their own driveways, or that they MUST water their lawns, even during drought restrictions.

I agree with most of your pros and cons but one HUGE con that somehow didn't make the list are the wages. They are pretty low for a city of this size, and not just for service positions but across the board. I wouldn't recommend moving here unless you're in a specific field (example: medical/military) or work from home for a company that pays more then local companies do. The cost of living isn't low enough to justify the depressed wages, especially with recent inflation.

@LifeinSATX

I always find wage averages to be misleading. Of course it has a ton to do with the demographics overall but I know of multiple fast food restaurants in and around the city starting off their pay at $15/hr. I also have friends and family working in warehouses that make $22-$25/hr. I agree that it’s overall lower but it has a lot to do with the lack of large corporate positions compared to Austin, Dallas, or Houston in my opinion.

I’ve seen it first hand being a commercial project manager before I got into real estate. And I’ve lived here my entire life, have always driven a nicer truck, and have never had it broken into or had anything stolen from it.

I'm looking for land in SATX to have our family team go out and pick up the animals and hopefully get them adopted. If not, we'd love for them to live out their days with us, we'll have vet assistance, hopefully soon. I'm looking to help unhoused folk, too, because then they can help with the animals we save, help us care for them and earn a small stipend and live in one of 20 tiny homes

If the Spurs didn’t have Popavich they’d be awesome!.

Avoid SA if you can. Better off moving to Seguin or New Braunfels.

Looking to leave SA definitely a boring city stuck in the 80s

It's mainly safe. Most of the crime is East of downtown, South of downtown, and West of downtown. But maybe only about 5 miles in each direction. Once u get to about 8-10 miles in those directions away from downtown you'll be fine in all other parts of San Antonio

It's the 2nd most dangerous in a safe state. I found far more crime in California and Washington state.

This statistic has more to do with geography, districting, and department coverage areas than it does with your safety or the chance of you being a crime victim in SA. I know for a fact it is far more dangerous in some small towns around the state than it is anywhere within SA. Of course, crime has risen in SA over the years, and it jumps in spurts after every disaster brings a flood of new people. Like everywhere, if you act like a victim and/or don't practice situational awareness you'll likely end up a victim, if you hang with criminals or invite criminals into your home you'll likely be criminalized, or if you act like an ass to people or are just plain stupid you're more likely to be a victim. Be nice, play safe, act responsibly, you'll be fine.

I would say No, you might get looks but too many people carry firearms in this state to go around attacking people for wearing a trump hat. Now if you were in college, possibly, because our local colleges like UTSA are extremely liberal and border on communist. But outside of that, I think you’re good.
