aggie, yr flat wrong on 2 counts
cost of living is not high in dallas.
but if it were, that would not be an indication of being a ty city (it would indicate that compe ion for resources is high because a lot of people want to be there.)
if high cost of living= ty city, than city's like NY and London have nothing on Fargo, North Dakota.
Every city has it's high rent districts Aggie.
I could show you an expensive part of Oakland, CA AND an expensive part of Birmingham, AL.
While some states have a higher cost of living than others, on the average Texas is one of the lowest because land is cheaper, wages in general are lower. If you are coming from a city that has a high income and YOU bring that income to TExas, you're living like a king.
Since when did the Spurs organization attract a top free agent for nothing? And no Finley doesn't count.
lmao
why doesn't he count genius?
Please explain.
cost of living is not high in dallas.Not compared to some places on the west and east coasts. Compared to the rest of the state?
I've got a cousin who is a VP for EDS, and his comments the first time we had dinner after I moved to Dallas: "welcome to Dallas, the city that thinks it's too good for the rest of Texas."
"compared to the rest of the state"? i didnt realize we were having a regional conversation.
maybe you should have said "cost of living is high relative to other minor cities in state."
i have a world view that extends beyond the borders of the republic of texas.
...also, i think you accidentally put a gay little smiley face in your last post.
Yes because the opinions of a few posters (some of which don't even live in SA) provides an accurate assessment of a city of over a million people.ultimately, what makes this thread compelling is that it offers interesting insight into the psychological outlook of the good people of San Antonio.
as do I. as someone who has lived in various places, including Europe, I have been happiest here. Does the fact that I love it here mean its the best place ever and you should think so to? No. Does one person calling it a hole make it so? No. But then again I am supposed to have an inferiority complex because I live here....Extra Stout said so.i have a world view that extends beyond the borders of the republic of texas.
no one finds the irony in a guy named pussy and is a mavs fan?
Come on.....
San Antonio ing Sucks.
It's a po dunk town that thrives on lowpaying customer service and now one of the lowest paying auto plant.
No baseball, no football, a ty dome, a ty arena in a bad neighborhood, no recreational activities, not enough parks, bike trailes or a solid transportation system.
San Antonio is just plain lacking in everything.
San Antonio is so ty, we don't even have our own Medicare Fee Schedule for healthcare. Austin does. How ty is that?
San Antonio is a hole.

no...this is not a scientific study...but an interesting sampling....anecdotal evidence abounds.
I think your in some level of denial if you doubt extra stout's claim that SA people can tend to have a bit of an inferiority complex (even if you personally don't. I lived in Chicago, a great city, but certainly felt the inferiority complex caused by "second city syndrome."
Sequ...and you are still here...why?
"no one sees the irony of a mavs fan being called pussy?" tpark
Quick! Someone teach TPARK the meaning of the word ironY!
what you are describing does not meet the definition of ironic.
Not at all...some people do feel that way...my point was that he was trying to say that ALL people from SA feel that way...I disagree.I think your in some level of denial if you doubt extra stout's claim that SA people can tend to have a bit of an inferiority complex (even if you personally don't. I lived in Chicago, a great city, but certainly felt the inferiority complex caused by "second city syndrome."
...of course to say that would be an overgeneraliztion. the point is worthy though.
the point is invalid because he is implying all when in fact its just some.
I have no frickin idea. Every day I watch the news and every weekend that goes by doing the same , I begin to wonder.Sequ...and you are still here...why?
San Antonio Sucks.
Sequ rules.
SAMIKEYP...you have got to be kidding me...
you are saying that generalizations have no place whatsoever because they are not true across the board? these things take root because there is truth in them. you are crazy.
how about having the 3-time NBA Champs San Antonio Spurs team? And the Alamo?
Didn't say that anywhere that I know of...If I did, please show me and I will recant.SAMIKEYP...you have got to be kidding me...

I acknowledge Stout's point that there are San Antonians who feel inferior to people in Dallas and Houston. I just don't believe its everyone and I don't believe (again, just an opinion) that its as many people as some might think. Its all good though...this wouldn't be any fun if we all agreed.
I never denied I might be crazy.

The Alamo sucks.

The Champs are Small Ball Chumps now.
Try again.
You mean the fact that three championships of which you had no part of doesn't change your mind, Sequ?
I'll try after the Spurs wins 4th le again.
Until then...
but hey they(Spurs, esp Duncan), are like the tourist attractions in S.A. inviting good players to join the team to win a ring. How's that sucks? Of course I'm not thinking of a Kobe Bryant who wants a "larger market" but there are other good players out there.
Without the Spurs winning, San Antonio has nothing but tortillas, nachos, rice and beans.You mean the fact that three championships of which you had no part of doesn't change your mind, Sequ?
That gets old real quick...
Hey, we went to the new Maliks the other day, good food.
Cool...we need to get the wives and go sometime. If I can convince Erica to go...she is not a big fan of Malik's.
