A new Harris Poll shows that San Antonio is one of the top 15 cities where most Americans would like to live.
The city, perhaps most famous for the Alamo, the River Walk and the NBA champion San Antonio Spurs, ranked 14th on the list, beating out Nashville at No. 15.
Harris Interactive Inc. (NASDAQ: HPOL), a global research firm based in Rochester, N.Y., conducted an online survey of 2,339 U.S. adults asking them that if they could live in any city in America other than their own, where would they choose.
Most Americans wanted to live in the Big Apple, with New York coming in first for the sixth consecutive year. New York was followed by San Diego; Las Vegas; San Francisco; Seattle; Chicago; Denver; Honolulu; Atlanta; Portland, Ore.; Boston; Los Angeles; and Phoenix.
Texas was eighth on the list of the most popular states in which people would like to live.
Harris conducted the online survey between July 12 and July 18. The company took into account figures for age, sex, race, education, region and household income in making the list.

Haha!
you, Nashville!
That`s a nice thing to hear, especially as I weigh costs/benefits of setting up a master franchise of my company in either San Antonio or Austin.
We're # 10! We're # 10!
Where is the rankings of the Top 15???
Who would want to live in Portland?
Nevermind.

I can't stand New York. :vomit
I love SD, SF, LV, ATL and NashVegas! lol But I love SA more.
If I was going to move anywhere (regardless of the cost of living, or where the Spurs are ), it would be San Diego. No doubt about it.
I've thought for awhile that San Antonio needed an entertainment district away from the River walk which has too many sound restrictions and other physical limitations, like parking. St Mary's street is pretty dead most nights. Now I also think the city ought to help fund the revitalization of the Aztec (yes, I know it's being privately revitalized), Texas, and other decrepit theaters downtown and filling them with trademark shows like Vegas has with Wayne Newton, Ki, O, Danny Gaines, and Sig and Roy. Why the Arneson is not used more is beyond me. How about family movie nights? Community acts?
Downtown SA is a gem, but the city needs to give people, especially families, more than great shopping, nice hotels, the Alamo and the River Walk to keep them coming back.
San Antonians going to the theater??? To Vegas shows??? This San Antonio?? Maybe the Tourists, but not the people that live in this city.
So you know almost all 2 million of the people who live in SA?
Could you explain why Broadway San Antonio at the magic theater always sells out their shows.
Quit being so damn ignorant.
Because there are so few of them. When you flood the market (especially this market) with too much of the same thing everyone will suffer. It's not ignorance, its the truth.
You really think San Antonio, which has trouble keeping the symphony running, will find people with the money to pay the entertainers, pay the marketing costs, and run the theaters? Doubtful.
In the next 7 MONTHS there are only 10 shows coming to the Majestic.
I guess theWriter forgot how we almost closed Sunken Gardens because the city could not afford it.
We do have Verison Wireless, Sunset Station, and even FarWest/Cowboys that have been added to the city in the last ~5 years.
uh, Vegas can keep cheesy acts Newton and Sig & Roy.
Who would want to live in Portland?
white people.
BTW-
San Antonio Rocks!!!
Were not number 1, not number 2, number 3, number 4, not even 5 !!!!!!
