I'm a native Texan, born in Dallas, raised in Houston. Out of any of the places I have ever lived in Texas, I would choose the area around San Antonio.
I actually lived in San Antonio proper when I was there. I was transferred there by my employer. I would move back there in a heartbeat if I could.
Semi-funny story:
I had been living in Dallas when I was transferred to San Antonio. I had a friend living in SA and I was going to stay with her until my apartment was ready for me. I asked her how long I should allow for my commute to the office. She told me the traffic would be awful so I should allow extra time. Well, I was used to my commute in Dallas taking me anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour or more so I left her place at 7:20. Got to the office at 7:30.
I imagine traffic is a little more congested now than it was in the early 90's.
Nice but sort of hot there maybe??
