Glad you're enjoying SA. Now just inform the people back in Houston that they were completely ass backwards in regards to how they described SA.
Lived in Houston.
Moved to San Antonio 2 weeks ago.
So far, San Antonio>Houston>Dallas>Austin>Corpus Christi>rest of Texas

I think people in Houston were just saying this negative crap about San Antonio because they are afraid to admit that South Texas has a rising superstar of a city in San Antonio..
Cant say I blame them, if I were falling down(and fast) I would not want others to know the truth also.
San Antonio has great stuff and unlimited potential.
The thing that needs to be here right now is more public transit. Light Rail would be amazing!
Well, you're in luck as SA is making great strides and in the future should have probably the best and most comprehensive mass transit system in Texas as we will have buses (which we have now), bus rapid, light rail and street cars.
Our Mayor wants modern streetcar downtown by 2014.
Check out:

Our streetcar will look very similar to this:
Our Bus Rapid Transit will look very similar to this:
Thats outstanding!\
If San Antonio can get light rain to connect to major areas like New Braunfels/Schertz/Stone Oak/Med Center/Broadway - UIW/Downtown-SAC/South Town/Ingram/Fredericksbug Rd , then the city will become more efficient and more attractive to major businesses that would want to post up in San Antonio.
Looks like San Antonio is on the right track so far.
I was able to find it!
Here is the VIA Bus Rapid Transit bus.
Thats awesome. The sooner it happens, the better.
Here are the Streetcar lines.
A north to south line that will connect the Witte Museum to Southtown.
A east-west line that will connect Our Lady of the Lake University on the west side with the at&t center on the east side.
wtf are you talking about, median takes account of outliers and is much much less effected by them.
The light rail is nice in Houston and Dallas. It is only truthful to admit that SA is behind the times.
I do love how basically NOBODY has mentioned a thing about SA south of I-10. Talk all you want about your fancy neighborhoods on the north side, there are plenty of places where you people wouldn't be caught after dark (and rarely during the day). I still have family over there, yes, it's POOR, it's full of crime, and there is gang and graffiti everywhere.
But that's OK, keep talking about Stone Oak, the Dominion, etc. and doing what San Antonians do best, ignore the older parts of town and talk about all the newer areas N and NW halfway to Boerne.
What's poor, full of crime and gang and tagging everywhere? The areas south of 10 and 90? Well sure, there a fair share of that but it's still a complete generalization full of hyperbole. I live on the southeast side and have seen it grow tremendously in the last five years. Heck, the gold's gym I go to is the most profitable Gold's in the city.
But like any area in any city that is lower in the socio-economic bracket there's going to be more crime, gangs and tagging, that's not unique to SA. But there are nice areas south of 10/90. Believe me.
Kid, I live on the southeast of the city, I rep this place, I know this area. There are nice areas on the southeast side. There are older areas on the southeast side with nice homes like the Sunny Slope area and portions of Highland Park.But that's OK, keep talking about Stone Oak, the Dominion, etc. and doing what San Antonians do best, ignore the older parts of town and talk about all the newer areas N and NW halfway to Boerne.
There are newer areas that are nice as well, that being near Brooks City-Base with the newer nicer areas being east of 37.
The reason the areas south of 10 don't get much mention is that a) there generally much older and generational b) it's a much smaller area in comparison to the rest of San Antonio especially compared to the rest of SA. By that I mean, the south side in terms of residential/urban development barely reaches 410 while almost everything north of I10/90 not only reaches 410 but continues past 410 to 1604 and in many cases past 1604.
Well, BRT is already under construction and street car should hopefully be up by 2014.
Light rail by 2020 I believe if everything goes to plan.
lol light rail...sucks ass trust me, just ask ruff what he thinks of his home states public rail/transport system...no new or anything upgraded, just try and pack everyone into a box like sardines...
I don't let Kori go south of Hildebrand.
Public transport is socialism. In SA, it's reparations for slavery, and for stealing the western US from Spain.
