@@Profile.4 FU Frank. You're just mad your family was taken from you and your best friend betrayed you and you can't ever die no matter how much you low-key want to.
Moved to SA back in 2011 when I graduated from HS in LA. Loved it and it turned me into the man I am today. Thankful to the great state of Texas and city of SA.
Hell I've been in San Antonio Texas for almost 4 years now. I'm a veteran had surgery about a year ago by the UT health science center great doctor's. Love this place comparing to where I lived in pennsylvania.
11. You can learn Spanish. 12. 2nd lowest unemployment rate in Texas. Next to Austin at #1. 13. Friendliest people. 14. You can get dental work if you drive south into Mexico at a tiny cost just 4 hours.
I grew up in Corpus Christi for most of my life, but I lived in San Antonio for about 5 years, and it was a great place to be a kid. Bike rides, trips to Austin and New Braunfels to the great parks, the zoo, and I loved my school there. Then, when my family moved to Corpus, I hated the elementary school I went to so much. I would love to return to San Antonio and live there again one day, and start a family there
You ain't talking about San Antonio outside the normal festive Fiesta, Taste of New Orleans and M.L. King day or Battle of Flowers which many have outgrown. There is nothing exciting here for teenagers or adults that's different. I'm 41 and bored out my mind.
@@TM-pj7yu What kind of things do you find exciting? Maybe your problem is that you just don't take vacations to other places. Even people in LA and NY need to get out once in a while.
I love the heat! Where I live now gets cold and snow, incan tell 5 days ahead when we are getting a storm,, cold is not my thing anymore. I visited Texas and went to River Walk, love it, going back next year, planning on retiring there too, love Texas!
San Antonio also have awesome conventions ... Like the Alamo city comic con, San Japan, mizuumi-con , mini-mini con... Etc. San Antonio even has The Japanese Tea Garden (one of the most beautiful gardens there)
But it has a higher crime rate then the other Texas citys, higher Taxes, and lower wages... Also if you love your balls sticking to your thigh in that 100 degree weather then be my friend.
I'm moving from louisiana to san Antonio tx...this gone be a major upgrade especially after all what I been through I deserve a better change and opportunities 💯
Briggs, this one hit it out of the park, good job! There's tongue n' cheek with the "not" videos and it's fun but there's a lot to be said about showing the positive perspective.
There are some crazy people in SA, but not that many. Seems like there are good people in Texas, and the Riverwalk is definitely fun! Better than CA that is for sure! LA metro has too many negatives, San Antonio far surpasses it!
MORE reasons to go to San Antone: 1) Mi Tierra restaurant. This place is huge, colorful with year around inside colored Christmas like lights, Very traditional authentic EXCELLENT Mexican Food. The Price point is reasonable. 2. Saint Ferdinand's Church. Almost 300 yeers old, the oldest church with a sanctuary in US History. 3,The Alamo: Great history and the rangers/ docents and tour guides will answer your questions quite well. 4. Very reasonable prices for food (H.E. B. Stores), restaurants , rent/ housing prices, and it hardly ever rains. 5. Proximity to Mexico, Houston, Austin and Even Dallas. Great location in a BIG State. ' 6. Nice Peopole . 7. IT is so..so "Mexico" in a way Montreal is so Paris. 8. The places to visit along The River walk...stores, restaurants, hotels, etc. 9. The architecture both old and new or renovated. 10. Their large indoor/ outdoor Mercado ; esp. on Weekends.
Accidently went there on their Fiesta festival. It was really cool and cultural. They have this Mexican plaza in downtown and it is amazing it's like I'm walking in Mexico in like 1920. Downtown is one of the best I've been too. What's better is that the river runs right through the downtown area.
I saw there was a video for reasons not to move to san Antonio but I prefer to watch this one, since we live here and like to hear the positive about our choices!!
I miss San Antonio so much ever since I moved out of the place a few years ago. Most of the reasons you've mentioned are things I could relate to in both the positive and negative lists. Texas has some amazing BBQ, and San Antonio is no exception. It makes me want to move back there just because I love it so much.
Of all the major cities in Texas (Houston, SA, Dallas, Austin, Fort Worth), I’d say San Antonio has the worst BBQ options. People get excited about Bill Miller in San Antonio (yikes!). SA’s strong point is the Tex-Mex. Best to drive North to Austin for decent BBQ.
Ever heard of the New Braunfels Smokehouse in New Braunfels or Rudy's by Camp Bullis or Snogas in the southeast side of San Antonio. Yes, Doubting Thomas, there are other BBQ eateries besides bm(look up bm in a medical slang dictionary).
Lol!!! 🤣🤣 thanks for saying Taco Bell 🌮 insults real Mexican food ! Your so right !! Thanks for saying how delicious Mexican food is 😌♥️! Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽!
Not sure what you are basing cost of living on but the cost of housing and cost of living in general has SOARED over the past few years for people living in San Antonio. Those 100k homes you mentioned are typically fixer uppers and if they aren't they do not last on the market more than a day or so. The cheapest you can find homes is between 130-140k and those homes are fast disappearing. I am not sure one could consider San Antonio affordable anymore.
You know I was the guy that 3 years ago wanted out of Texas. Had lived in Houston for over 3 years and I was just so sick and tired of Houston. So me and the wife went from Texas to Oklahoma, and then finally to Oregon. Well after over two years in Oregon we're going back to Texas May of next year. Specifically hey San Antonio we're coming. I'm tired of the crazy house prices oh, and the cost of living here in Oregon. Also my wife is not doing good health-wise being here. So we're Texas bound and flying. I like the low cost of living, and the job opportunities. Briggs I wanted you to know that this video was the one thing that helped me make my choice. Everything else came down to research. Keep up the good work.
Also, SA is a tourist town. If you're moving here, consider the suburbs. In the "winter," downtown is a great place to walk around and eat and eat. Rivers in the hill country are freezing cold even in the summer, so tubing is what you should be doing in August. The Friday after Thanksgiving the city barricades a few blocks around the Alamo to make it even more crowded, everything is Xmas lit, along with the Xmas parade of boats that evening (something you should see at least once in your life). If you prefer even higher taxes, higher cost of living, and horrendous traffic, check out Austin!
San Antonio is my favorite city during my last visit to the States 6 years ago. Oh, and I remember Dick's Last Resort at the Riverwalk with their menu on the ceiling and the waiter guy does his comedy real good. If I just have the money to visit the US again.
Hiw Graji Du Suw Its Called Dicks cause they treat you like one..lol they make those funny paper hats ..with funny sayings! They supposed to be rude but in a good way..
I see that I'm not the only one. I explain to my wife all the time how Schlitterbahn is the best waterpark ever. I can't wait to take her and my son there so that they can experience pure awesomeness.
#11: H-E-B. They're an awesome grocery store. I went on "vacations" to Dallas and Houston and they're is no H-E-B! Where do these people shop? Wal-Mart!?
Native born Texan. Lived in multiple TX cities the first 35 years of my life. SA is my favorite. Food: - YES!! One of the BEST steakhouses I recommend is Bohanan's. It's a $$$$ (four dollar sign) in the restaurant guides. BUT, I challenge anyone to compare the single restaurant to all those big name chains that you can think of. Really. Many of the high end chains provide a delicious experience to be sure. Bohanan's has that extra little tweak. Menu sides and complements are even more varied and broad than many of the larger chains.
First Highschool you showed during the education segment was my Highschool. I wouldn't put it up there as a prime example of the great education here, but it was good to see. Go Dragons!
My mom's cousin used to live out there, mainly for work but then retired and moved back to California. Both of my parents were there in July 2002 and it was very rainy over there back then. I'd need one or more convincing reasons to go to school, live, work over there, etc. , live, work over there, etc.
Hey Briggs great video I agree that Taco Bell is not Mexican Food and is insulting! Also yeah Fiesta is definitely a great reason! When I was in San Antonio back in April I was actually visiting during Fiesta! What a coincidence! I didn't even know about Fiesta til I got there! It was fun I went over to the Historic Market and I was partying for a couple hours. They had a DJ and everything. The hotel check in lady even said you picked a great time to visit cause of the Fiesta. Also yeah it was sunny and it takes a while for the sun to set out there as the sun would finally set at almost 8 in the evening. However it did rain a little my second day there. Overall I agree with a lot of this. Looking forward to hearing pros and cons of Austin as I was there over the summer.
@@Chilling4Shillings Austin was fine. Why do you think it's a shithole? Have you been to Oklahoma City? That is a shithole. Tulsa is more pretty than OKC
Austin was a great city until roughly the late 90’s, or whenever rents tripled, those stupid “Keep Austin Weird” stickers started showing up on everyone’s car, and SXSW got too big for it’s own good. Austin is over.
Don't retire to Houston Texas, it has a good Economy but too many Jerks and Haters, and some of these black Women are out of the Bible here, real Jezebels....
LOL. Lots of young people move to Houston for work, but no one retires to Houston by choice. Once you pass retirement age that city will eat you alive.
jj nyc - Yes. Both are great retirement areas, in a pretty area in between San Antonio and Austin. Also, look into Fredericksburg - about 45 minutes West of Austin.
@@Brewzerr Lol you don't know brutal. Try living in Vermont or Maine. that's BRUTAL. Harsh Winters are worse than harsh summers. Bone chilling type of COLD!
Hey Briggs, love this one! I was born in SA, so a little partial to it 😉. If you were at Schlitterbahn S. Padre, then you were VERY close to Portland and didn't even know it. Very possible if you took the Corpus Christi crosstown and stayed on US 181 N, then you drove straight through Portland with its 3 exits and had no clue. I told you on the live stream it is a small town and I was serious 😁. Actually, Exxon is moving in, so it is growing, BUT it will NEVER be as big as Arlington (where we just moved from) or even Corpus Christi (just across the bay). I would love to see you do a Top 10 on the Texas Coastal Bend Region (Rockport to Corpus Christi is what I believe it encompasses)
I moved here from Santa Rosa, CA 4yrs ago--but I'm from West Monroe, LA originally. I've gotta say there isn't any other place in Texas (except maybe Corpus) that I'd want to live! I absolutely love it here!
Mr.Bigangy I don't know there in San Antonio Texas , so I lived Mess Arizona My home for 19 years , so After My Birthday is Birthday plan my vacation visiting to Austin Texas , My Friends Deaf White Man New Jersey say to me . Best is Austin Texas , You should moving there Waiting. I told him is My Vacation trip in December will see ...
Hey we have a Taco Bell across the street from our building here in Fontana and you are right it does insult Mexican food. Strongly considering moving there in a couple of years. Cali ain't as sunny as it used to be.
Adam Franco Just enjoy the city. Look around and have fun. If you wanna live in a good area try Alamo Heights and/ Or Westcreek. Even The La Cantera area.
Love SA. I have been there MANY times. It should be a bucket list check for anyone who cares about bucket lists. There is of course, authentic Mexican food in some places of the city, but I doubt that many native born Americans (including the writers and commentator of this vid know what that even is), but what most of tourist will find without effort is Tex-Mex. Fear not, it is delicious! If it matters to anyone, I would add that it is a liberal outpost in a conservative state. I personally would not live there but it is easy to have fun in San Antonio. Fuuuuuuun, fun.
Norfolk/Virginia Beach is also a top military area. But my top pick for military towns is San Diego. It's not like it used to be but it's still military heavy. They have better weather, beaches and shopping than San Antonio. Also it seemed like I met many more college educated people in California than San Antonio and Texas in general.
Can you do both the negative and positive reasons for moving to Austin, Texas? I plan on moving there once I graduate from college, mainly because of Silicon Hills there and all the tech, plus cheaper housing than in Silicon Valley and Seattle.
My girlfriend lives in San Antonio Texas not to brag she graduated high school and all AP classes her parents want her to follow in their footsteps and become some sort of doctor but she wants to become a marine biologist which is pretty cool in my opinion
Tini Regal - You have got to be joking. For being the nation’s 7th largest city, SA has the best traffic flow I’ve ever seen. It easily has the best traffic flow in Texas. Spend some time on Austin, Houston, or Dallas freeways... and you’ll change your tune real fast.
I’ve been in San Antonio for all 13 years of my life and I love it. I’ve been to a lot of other cities I’ve visited in and out of Texas and in my opinion they don’t have that many good food or good places to have fun but that’s just in my opinion. I just think San Antonio has great food and so many places to visit, it’s so awesome and I love it.☺️
I know you said that’s just your opinion, but you do know that Houston has been rated by many food experts as being one of the top 5 food cities in the nation, right? Dallas is no slouch in that department either.
i CRINGED at the way you said “new braunfels” haha! the Schlitterbahn here in NB is the best schlitterbahn!!! there are three huge parks. i grew up going there as i am a local and it is so much fun!!!
Everyone wants to move here, people are not as friendly as compared to the rest of Texas, traffic is becoming a problem, but the food culture is the best I have ever seen.
@World According to Briggs You should do a vid on reasons not to move and to move to sacramento, unlike most of california its not stockton, modesto, or fresno, and its not incredibly expensive and full of traffic like the bay area. I heard some sources say Sacramento in the next 5 years would be mentioned like portland or seattle are. Idk if you're interested in covering this topic but, its just a thought because I'm from around there
Spent my honeymoon in the Alamo City and have been back many times. Didn't keep the wife but have many fond memories there.

I live in new mexico and constantly visit el paso Texas, you should do one on el paso
I like El Paso. Only city in Texas that isn’t unbearably humid.
There’s nothing there lol
San Antonio is not a secret anymore and it's growing really fast and there are entirely too many people moving here!!!!
My god what is that 2:50 that looks amazing! Definitely doesn't look like a tamale that I've seen.
It’s an enchilada
I HATE THE WORD FOODIE TOOOOOOO!!!!!
Thanks retiring in a couple of years.San Antonio is on my list with Nevada and Arizona...
Don't retire to Houston Texas, it has a good Economy but too many Jerks and Haters, and some of these black Women are out of the Bible here, real Jezebels....
Matt White well....being a black woman myself....🙄😳
LOL. Lots of young people move to Houston for work, but no one retires to Houston by choice. Once you pass retirement age that city will eat you alive.
Brewzerr yeah I heard... was told San Marcos is a good place to retire..as well as New Braunsfeld...spellling🙄🙄😝
jj nyc - Yes. Both are great retirement areas, in a pretty area in between San Antonio and Austin. Also, look into Fredericksburg - about 45 minutes West of Austin.
No sales tax is on groceries.
Love living here just hate the hot weather
Yep. That’s the one reason I’ll never move back there. Those summers are BRUTAL.
Humidly or Dry Heat?
Craig David - Humid. Very, very HUMID. All the major cities in Texas are hot and humid, except for El Paso.
@@Brewzerr Lol you don't know brutal. Try living in Vermont or Maine. that's BRUTAL. Harsh Winters are worse than harsh summers. Bone chilling type of COLD!
@@grimes9339 how cold you talking. The coldest I’ve seen in San Antonio was 8F
Hey Briggs, love this one! I was born in SA, so a little partial to it 😉. If you were at Schlitterbahn S. Padre, then you were VERY close to Portland and didn't even know it. Very possible if you took the Corpus Christi crosstown and stayed on US 181 N, then you drove straight through Portland with its 3 exits and had no clue. I told you on the live stream it is a small town and I was serious 😁. Actually, Exxon is moving in, so it is growing, BUT it will NEVER be as big as Arlington (where we just moved from) or even Corpus Christi (just across the bay). I would love to see you do a Top 10 on the Texas Coastal Bend Region (Rockport to Corpus Christi is what I believe it encompasses)
This might be the best video you've ever done. For a city, San Antonio is phenomenal.
I prefer smaller ~ Fredericksburg has my heart.
Can you tell me why you like Fredericksburg?
I’m looking, but not sure where.
@@korger1481
On a map from San Antonio, look north and west. Not far from Kerrville.
Martin Stiastny
Thank you!🙂
Californians, please delete this video off your playlist!!!!!!
TOO MUCH PPL HERE....UGH
NO
@@marytucker4475 come on let me play a couple of tracks
I moved here from Santa Rosa, CA 4yrs ago--but I'm from West Monroe, LA originally. I've gotta say there isn't any other place in Texas (except maybe Corpus) that I'd want to live! I absolutely love it here!
Californians coming here, at the very least don’t vote for the same policies that ruined your state. Let’s keep Texas great
Hell no education here in San Antonio is horrendous.
Really ..
True my school has alot of fights and gangs
Mr.Bigangy
I don't know there in San Antonio Texas , so
I lived Mess Arizona My home for 19 years , so
After My Birthday is Birthday plan my vacation visiting to Austin Texas , My Friends Deaf White Man New Jersey say to me . Best is Austin Texas , You should moving there Waiting.
I told him is My Vacation trip in December will see ...
Lmao true
Hey we have a Taco Bell across the street from our building here in Fontana and you are right it does insult Mexican food. Strongly considering moving there in a couple of years. Cali ain't as sunny as it used to be.
Thanks again for another awesome video!
kate xox thanks Kate
Sa is greatly appreciated in tourists attractions
I was born and raise in Los Angeles ca I moved to San antonio purchase my home and never looked back
Hey Hugo. I live in Bell gardens. I am moving to san Antonio in december.any tips ?
Too many California people here hell no... so much Texans want to leave
Adam Franco Just enjoy the city. Look around and have fun. If you wanna live in a good area try Alamo Heights and/ Or Westcreek. Even The La Cantera area.
THIS IS A NICE CITY.THE RIVER WALK.THE LIGHTS.FIESTA
Love San Antonio! A great city!
I had my family went to the NB Texas Sliterbon and I wasn’t around but back then the lines where long.
Love SA. I have been there MANY times. It should be a bucket list check for anyone who cares about bucket lists.
There is of course, authentic Mexican food in some places of the city, but I doubt that many native born Americans (including the writers and commentator of this vid know what that even is), but what most of tourist will find without effort is Tex-Mex. Fear not, it is delicious!
If it matters to anyone, I would add that it is a liberal outpost in a conservative state.
I personally would not live there but it is easy to have fun in San Antonio. Fuuuuuuun, fun.
I can’t stand the heat either! You should do top ten cold weather towns
Hot Cosby good idea
World According To Briggs yeah it’d be nice to see the towns that embrace winter rather than dread it
Get ready, because San Antonio is gonna be freezing this winter.
@@nittanyburg20 In other words, towns where all the people are idiots.
@@momelendez9691 Most of Texas freezes in the winter.
Congratulations on 100,000 sub
Mikey Lombardo thank you
SA is indeed a very nice city and metropolitan area!!
Thinking about moving my family to san antonio..originally from NJ need help deciding between Pennsylvania, Georgia or texas..preferably San Antonio..
Pa fo sho
Texas. GA outside of Atlanta is trash. Texas has more to do.
I had a friend there. Great city
Norfolk/Virginia Beach is also a top military area. But my top pick for military towns is San Diego. It's not like it used to be but it's still military heavy. They have better weather, beaches and shopping than San Antonio. Also it seemed like I met many more college educated people in California than San Antonio and Texas in general.
Im from the canary island wow i didnt know family on the 1731 went there !!
Can you do both the negative and positive reasons for moving to Austin, Texas? I plan on moving there once I graduate from college, mainly because of Silicon Hills there and all the tech, plus cheaper housing than in Silicon Valley and Seattle.
Austin is built for techies. You’ll probably love it.
So still waiting for you to do a top ten reasons not to move to baytown tx. It's only been a year. My face was turning blue from holding my breath
My girlfriend lives in San Antonio Texas not to brag she graduated high school and all AP classes her parents want her to follow in their footsteps and become some sort of doctor but she wants to become a marine biologist which is pretty cool in my opinion
I live in Schertz outside the city. SA is nice but traffic is horrific.
Tini Regal but not like Houston or Austin LOL
spartan8181 XBL Austin sucks cause they only 2 lanes..smh
Tini Regal - You have got to be joking. For being the nation’s 7th largest city, SA has the best traffic flow I’ve ever seen. It easily has the best traffic flow in Texas. Spend some time on Austin, Houston, or Dallas freeways... and you’ll change your tune real fast.
spartan8181 - Or Dallas. Hell, even El Paso has slightly worse traffic than SA.
Amen to that!!!
when he started talking about education he showed a picture of the high school I graduated from lmao
I’ve been in San Antonio for all 13 years of my life and I love it. I’ve been to a lot of other cities I’ve visited in and out of Texas and in my opinion they don’t have that many good food or good places to have fun but that’s just in my opinion. I just think San Antonio has great food and so many places to visit, it’s so awesome and I love it.☺️
I know you said that’s just your opinion, but you do know that Houston has been rated by many food experts as being one of the top 5 food cities in the nation, right? Dallas is no slouch in that department either.
Thank you for sharing this info.
i CRINGED at the way you said “new braunfels” haha! the Schlitterbahn here in NB is the best schlitterbahn!!! there are three huge parks. i grew up going there as i am a local and it is so much fun!!!
Everyone wants to move here, people are not as friendly as compared to the rest of Texas, traffic is becoming a problem, but the food culture is the best I have ever seen.
12 years of living here and I had no idea the spurs mascot was a coyote
Love it here. 😍
do top 10 reasons to move to nebraska next
I'm from Atlanta, Georgia and thought about living in San Antonio or Austin.
The schools must have improved since we lived there, 1994-2000. Good job!
@World According to Briggs You should do a vid on reasons not to move and to move to sacramento, unlike most of california its not stockton, modesto, or fresno, and its not incredibly expensive and full of traffic like the bay area. I heard some sources say Sacramento in the next 5 years would be mentioned like portland or seattle are. Idk if you're interested in covering this topic but, its just a thought because I'm from around there
Born, raised, and still here!
Love San Antonio but I opted to retire in West Texas around Sweetwater and Abilene...cheaper than even San Antonio
Do top ten best towns in Georgia!
I live here it is a great city !
Raised my kiddos there and the best 15 years of my life.
I'll be moving there in a few months any recommendations on safe neighborhoods and good schools🤔 thank you🙂
San Antonio Rampage ...AHL Hockey...Freedom of Speech ...I will never stop typing...God Bless
David M ?
Rampage no longer plays there.
As a hockey fan living in San Antonio, I was livid when they left. Still mad
Hell yeah I graduated from thomas Jefferson high (the second high school in the video) class of 2017
