Austin is pretty pricey by Texas standards and San Antonio is on it's way up. Property taxes in Texas are what may surprise you depending on where you are from. I used to live in the Seattle area and property taxes there are around 1/2 of what they are in Texas. Neither has a state income tax and both have around the same sales tax rate.

Because for a long time it was cheap by California standards. Same story with Denver, Boulder, now Boise, etc. etc.
