My soul shrivels up like a raisin in Houston

My exfoliate empties fast in Dallas

My MEH turns up high in San Antonio

My ‘wanna like Austin’ is more than offset by the thick layer of put on “we are different” than other Texas cities. “Keep it weird” is more weird than authentic.

Need my Nola and a now and again mountain and beach, occasional Europe.

Dallas has the best cost of living?

I've only ever lived near Houston and down in the Rio Grande Valley of TX, so I could be wrong, but I thought Dallas was crazy expensive.

Just spent vacay time in SA and Austin, have been to DFW and Houston in the past.

I have Austin > SA > DFW > Houston.

Austin for two reasons that are personal for me:
1. Best live music scene...well, maybe of anywhere. Certainly that fits my taste.
2. Outdoorsy opportunities abound in / near Austin.

I did find SA the most laid back and people less status-oriented that of DFW / Houston.

Austin is near the top of the list as my wife and I hone our list of places to live while she travel nurses and I enjoy retirement.

San Antonio. Easier to get around, great history and culture, and close enough to decent beaches. Not as much rat race or sprawl as DFW, Houston.

Austin, Fort Worth, and San Antonio all seem like great candidates.

i have driven every single inch of I-35, I45, I-10, 281, and 87.

as a lifelong texan who travels our great state every single year for work here are my top 10 in no particular order:


Boerne
San Angelo
Bastrop
New Braunfels
Tyler
Woodlands
Alpine
Marble Falls
Granbury
Abilene


living in Austin, SA, DFW, or Houston is for the birds.

I've lived in Houston for 14 years, and have worked a ton in Dallas during that time, and aside from a few minor oddities, I have not noticed much of a difference in the two, aside from the people. 2 massive cities with a sprawling geography and a lot to do depending on where you are. People who claim one is way better than the other make me cringe at this point because I'm confident their opinion is based on nothing but an irrelevant bias.

Houston has the top medical center in the country. It’s also the most culturally diverse city in the country. The food reflects that. Amazing cuisine.

If you have a lake house/ranch/farm/beach house/get away, it’s hard to beat.

Lol at Dallas.
