San Antonio born and raised. I have a few issues with San Antonio.....
the people in charge are ass backwards thinking, they are afraid of progress. There is no reason why we can't modernize the city more, and still keep the old rustic feel....just use the old style architecture, but with all the up to date amenities.
instead of shutting down the expressways all day, why not be like other big cities and do a lot of the construction and street sweeping at night.
I love how we are pretty much safe from most natural disasters. We dont have to worry about Volcanic eruptions, landslides, hurricanes, and for the most part, tornadoes and earthquakes. We do have to deal with flooding, drought, and wildfires though.
I don't like how overcrowded the city has become......maybe because the ass backwards people in charge didnt prepare the city for the massive growth spurt. We build tons of residential areas, but we neglect the roads until traffic is a complete nightmare.
There is no excuse to not having a NFL and/or MLB franchise.
There is no excuse for not already having the ASA (Austin/San Antonio) Metroplex. If we would have done this already, we would most likely have a NFL and/or MLB team. Also, we could have built a better international airport on par with the one in DFW.
I hate the humidity, mosquitos, constant change in weather, and the allergies....but that is everywhere in the south.
Aside from this.....I love the city. I love the food (and it is inexpensive with large portions for the most part). I love the Spurs. I love that I can see all my Spurs, Cowboys, and Longhorns games. I love how much the people in this city give back to those who are less fortunate. I love the tower and the riverwalk. I love the military history of our city.
