I've been considering moving to the Austin/New Braunfels/San Antonio region for a while now (I'm currently in Arlington, VA). Any reasons I should reconsider, other than what you just mentioned? The housing prices here are insane, and are only affordable if you work for a contractor. Hence my motivation to look for a more private sector fueled economic area with sane prices.

Austin is OK. San Antonio is better. Definitely move there.
I recognized your username, but couldn't remember where I remembered it from. I then looked in your comment history. After seeing the medical malpractice comment you left, I don't think I want to live in Texas anymore.
My wife and I were victims of malpractice in 2006. The result of it was our son was born 3 months early when otherwise he could have been born full term. We lucked out. He appears to have no complications from being so premature. But the emotional hell that dumb bitch doctor caused us I will never forget. (yeah, dumb bitch is a nasty term, but we were in a Christian hospital due to proximity, and she judged us for our hippy-like appearance and failed to do the most basic diagnostic activities before sending us on our way)

I rather disliked San Antonio. Not much culture. Not particularly well educated. Nothing to do but eat and drink. No one is athletic or particularly interesting. Go 2 miles away from the River Walk and you see just how poor the area is.
Granted this was about 10 years ago. I much preferred Austin and even Houston.
