Austin and SA both benefit, depend on?, from HUGE revenues and salaries for GOVT work (military, fed/state govt, state SIGs and lobbyists, civil service).

No. 1: Austin, Texas
This is no surprise. Austin consistently sits atop Forbes' annual list of the best cities for jobs and scores highly in other demographics rankings. It is the third-fastest-growing city in the nation, attracting large numbers of college grads, immigrants and families with young children.
No. 2: Raleigh, N.C.
Raleigh has experienced the second-highest overall population increase and the third-highest job growth over the past two decades in the U.S. It also ranked among those regions seeing the biggest jump in new immigrants and is the No. 1 city for families with young children. The area is a magnet for technology companies fleeing the more expensive, congested and highly regulated northeast corridor. Affordable housing and short commute times are no doubt highly attractive to recent college graduates and millennials looking to start families.
No. 3: Nashville, Tenn.
The country music capital, with its low housing prices and pro-business environment, has experienced rapid growth in educated migrants, where it ranks an impressive fourth in terms of percentage growth. New ethnic groups, such as Latinos and Asians, have doubled in size over the past decade. A high quality of life, a vibrant cultural and music scene and a diverse population also make Nashville a desirable place to live.
No. 4: San Antonio, Texas
Like its other Texas neighbors, San Antonio boasts soaring population rates as well as a good job market and booming industry. One key factor in San Antonio's favor: stable house prices -- even by Texas standards. PMI Mortgage Insurance's most recent risk index, which is a two-year measure, lists San Antonio as having the lowest risk from falling prices among large Texas cities.
No. 5: Houston, Texas
Low housing prices, a stable job market and a vibrant immigrant community has helped Houston emerge as future boomtown. And with its burgeoning port and dominance of the world energy business, the area seems destined to become even more influential in the coming decade.

It makes me proud to say that I'm from San Antonio, Tx!classiest city in the US.
Get the outta Texas you ing leeches of society carpet bagging yankee socialists!
I wonder if Big D has penis envy for not cracking the Fab Five?
No. I feel fine.
When the is Austin going to get a professional sports team. I mean, Schlitterbahn is cool and all...but damn come on now.
ing hippies.
Schlitterbaun is closer to San Antonio than it is to Austin
Never. UT doesn't want the compe ion.
We have the Toros... what else could you ask for?
I was going to say UT has more professional teams than some large cities, plus the athletes only get paid under the table, not millions of dollars per year.
pro sports teams are too mainstream
...yeah or that. What pro league would wanna try and set up shop in a college town with as much success and brand as Texas
Austin will always be San Antonio's gay nerdy little whipping boy brother.
Come on now, you know the Spurs would up the longhorns in basketball. And if the all the men in San Antonio fought against all the men in Austin, we would you beat all you little skinny jean wearing s to a pulp.

LOL. You just proved your intelligence you dumb .
LOL Skinny jean wearing s.... What's skinny to you, below 40 inch waist?
Austin is all right. Not the best city(Their downtown is dirty as ) but the women from other states going to UT/A&M make it worthwhile to go visit 6th street. San Antonio s on Austin on just about everything it's not even funny. Six Flags/Sea World>>>>>>(does Austin even have a splashtown?) San Antonio Mexican food>>>>Austin's Mexican food. Riverwalk>>>>>>>>6th street. San Antonio's history(Alamo, the Missions)>>>>>>>>> Austin's history. Names of the cities: San Antonio sounds way more manlier than pussy ass Austin. Spurs>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>any of Austin's little kids college sports.And, oh yeah, Four rings gots!
I would give Austin an edge based on their ho's, but most of the women there ain't even from Austin. San Antonio women>Austin women.
at people who think Austin is still some hipster/anti-mainstream mecca. The Austin of old is dead and gone, and has been for years. Austin has become the new bag capital of Texas. It's still fun to visit Austin and all, but any given night out you'll see more drunken meathead assholes in Affliction t-shirts than any other city in Texas, even Dallas. It's incredible how y Austin is now.
+1000000000
I agree, Austin is overrated as ! I have worked and lived all over Texas and if I were to rank the cities based on the fun factor, I would rank the cities like this:
1. San Antonio
2. South Padre Island
3. Austin
4. corpus Christi
5. Dallas
6. Houston
7. Laredo/El paso(back in the day) I would put them closer to # 3, but they're all ty and dead now.
Nothing beats San Antonio( oldest city and the favorite son of Texas)
San Antonio has everything a major city has, but without all the congestion of a major city. Badass weather for outdoor recreational activities, and best bang for your buck if your a tourist.
shiiet you could spend two days on that stretch of I-10 between SA and Boerne alone. And of course the Riverwalk is amazing to get drunk in at night time. It's like a whole other city down there below the streets+1000000000

I never understood the pride at living in a place that makes lists like this.
I'm surprised Houston isn't further up there, given the natural gas boom.
Houston is the 4th largest city in the US and San Antonio is the 7th. Austin cracks the Top 20 (Top 15?). Not exactly what comes to mind when thinking of boom towns.
Corpus, El Paso and maybe FW come to mind (at least that's what I was expecting). All big cities, but not the biggest like Houston and SA.
I also wouldn't say Houston is going to be a boomtown. Houston already happened. It's still growing, but it's not like major business and industry isn't already there.
lmfao @ all the penis envy in this thread. usually it's the smaller town hating on the bigger ones but i guess when you're from a hole like san antonio it's the other way around. ing sad.
