I was born and raised in San Antonio for the first 20 years of my life a home did not have air conditioning. After a military career I've returned in 94 and settled in Hollywood Park. Yes we have all those problems but San Antonio is so beautiful and so welcoming. No place is perfect but San Antonio is home for me.

Lived here 42 years. It was affordable and did have a small town feel that is all in the rearview mirror today.

Having live in many cities my entire life for some reason San Antonio is just one i cannot leave. Even thou it is not like other big cities there is something about it that makes it a great place to live. I dont know if it is the lack of crime, how open it is, the people or what but it is a great place and I love it.

I moved to San Antonio from PA a few years ago and am now proud to call this city my home!

I CAME IN 2008 & DECIDED TO FINALLY MOVE HERE LAST YEAR. TO SAY THAT RENTS HAVE GONE THRU THE ROOF IS SPOT ON! I COULDN'T BELIEVE JUST HOW MUCH THEY HAVE RISEN. SA is gettin MAD EXPENSIVE!

The heat is also something you have to learn to deal with. I am originally from San Antonio but moved to the DC region and have been living in DC for more than 10 years. Whenever I go back to visit San Antonio I forgot how humid it gets in the summer time. In fact, I rarely use the AC here because honestly it doesn't really get that hot here. People complain about the humidity here in DC but it's nothing compared to the humidity in San Antonio where it can be 100 degrees with nearly 100% humidity making it feel like 115+.

I'm really happy to see Slava & Lena doing well and visiting America again. Word of caution, if hot weather is unbearable don't visit me here in Phoenix. Temperatures in late-Spring and Summer frequently reach 115-degrees Fahrenheit in my area. Fortunately it's "dry heat" so you don't sweat while you're being incinerated.. 🔥🔥

Finally let’s please keep em coming. LA, Miami, Pheonix, Vegas, DC etc etc the people needs it

Tudo tão lindo, muito limpo, cidade linda cheia de atrações. Deve ser bom demais visitar essa cidade.

I moved from Seattle to San Antonio last summer. Best decision I've ever made. 😎🇺🇸

Just a heads up, San Antonio is the second most populated city in Texas within city limits alone. But by metro, population it’s third and Austin is getting ready to flip it in maybe 10-20 years😅. Also SA downtown looks so small because by law no building can cast a shadow on the Alamo. And the Alamo is in fact in downtown.

San Antonio is my Favorite City. IDK 🤷‍♂️ why it always has been...

I use to go there often between 1992-1999 and now it appears much has changed.

Welcome to san Antonio Texas ❤️❤️💜💜💜🎉🥰🥰🥰🥰

thanks for share very good video bro

Great job 👌👌

Hey I used to work security at the AT&T building!! Hung out a lot on top of the building always took pictures of the view

Thanks for sharing, always love your video!!!!!!

You do a nice job. Happy America, good luck.

Excellent videos, I enjoy immensely, looking forward to all the others. Thank you for all the info!! All the best to you in all your endeavours 🙏🙏

Wow, these attractions are absolutely breathtaking! The views are simply stunning and I love how there's something for everyone.

Fantastic.....well done....I enjoyed it...!!!!!

Born and raised here in sa ..I feel it’s gotten to congested which is quite a bit annoying but it’s home ! I just wish people would stop commuting here because with more population comes a ton more problems

Woow...cool to be there

Great video to start and appreciate some of the highlights you brought up about downtown and the urban living we have. You did miss that we are one of the fastest growing tech cities also with Amazon and Microsoft now bringing large office spaces here. Additionally Sea World and Fiesta Texas are huge drivers as well as Lackland AFB which is the gateway to the Air Force for all BMT recruits and graduations.

Beautiful Views

I live here! On the west side :) 1:24 my parents were married here about two years ago. I still remember it . 4:50 I see that every so often, there is a mall somewhere near them. 5:05 I went there for a spurs game and a rampage game Some of my personal favorites is the SeaWorld, went two days ago. I also love how much stores and how much variety in food their is. The only thing I could ever complain about is traffic on I-10

You have a knack for making even the simplest things interesting. Love from DUBAI @walkology

Your presentation is owsome

Beautiful view

Great video! As always!

Hi Slava!! Great video. The weather here is exceptionally hot right now. In other years, it would be 10 degrees cooler in May. This is more typical for July.

In my opinion, San Antonio Texas is my favorite place in the whole wide world. I was originally born here and it’s great. We moved a couple of times. And the place is still a great place.

Honestly, great overall video of San Antonio! I love my city so much! However, you missed that San Antonio is actually one of the fastest growing cities for Tech actually, but Austin dwarfs us in that growth so people forget we are rapidly growing too. Oh and many other HQs have now moved here too over the last few years! I hope it keeps the feel and doesn't turn into the next Austin soon.

Great work 👏

I put Texas on my wish list next year.🎉🎉

Very well made video. Highly appreciated

Man you are doing really cool videos. Greetings from Greece👍👍

i retired over 2 years ago and moved to San Antonio and i love it! dont miss the cold weather from up east although it can get chilly here sometimes. all in all i love Texas and the people here

Sooo cool Glad you did San Antonio Sorry bout the weather

"It still has a small town feel" 😭 Absolutely not. If someone says "I live by Seaworld" just know, we're never hanging out. I'm not driving 30 minutes on the high way, across town to see someone in the same city lol

Ahhh I'm in the city of Nacogdoches tx lol that he mentioned in the beginning of video beautiful city

14:29 hope buddy told you you were holding the sword backwards….. great video nice done with the video layout and presentation

Cool, got a cheap house in the best neighborhood and watched it rise in value. Didn't even lose power during the great February freeze.

San Antonio is a great city. I'm not just saying that because live here! Thanks for a good video. Hope you enjoyed your stay.

Great video y’all, thanks for doing this.

very interesting video 👍

Nice sharing friend stay connected 👍♥️🌹🌷🙂

Thank you very much for your nice and fàntastic video . With lots of lots of love and regards , Jayantàda , 27/12/2022

Great video. You have to understand one thing this city is changing and changing fast. In 15 years the city will add 1 million new residents. Unfortunately for those of us who consider SA home it will look nothing like we were used to.

Nice video 📹

We Love San Antonio from Iran 🇺🇲❤️🇮🇷

Stay off the highway between 6am to 9am and 4pm to about 7pm, or you will discover San Antonio does in fact has congestion on its roads. San Antonio has a super bad homeless problem, only getting worse thanks to other states shipping thier homeless here to one of our many programs that help them. Its hot here, we have Summer and then we have cooler summer... and for about 2 to 3 months we have Hot Summer. We do get some cold days, but they don't last long. We are part of the huge Triangle that connects the major cities in TX, that being Dallas, Austin and Houston San Antonio being a corner of said triangle... so if you cant find something to do here they are a short drive away, and being just a couple hours to the coast is also a great thing. Christmas here is so amazing, so many great displays of light that you must visit during the holidays! I moved here 4 years ago, and have loved it here, I recently moved outside the city to have a nice piece of land and some distance between myself and others, but downtown is still less than 30 mins away so if I need the cities amenities they are just a short drive away. So that is also a plus for the area, you can still live in the country and have the city life when you want it. Your review was well done, seemed to hit all the highlights and aspects many would be searching for. I do want to mention though that we do have unsafe areas in the city, but for the most part any place considered a tourist area, you should be pretty safe as the police do ramp up patrols there and offer many more officers.

Glad to see you posting.

Amazing

Amazing video, as usual. Thank you

There’s also a lot of small places around San Antonio that allow you to purchase land and still work in San Antonio. Floresville, La Vernia, Adkins, New Braunfels, are all places where you can buy land. It’s gone up so much in the last decade just like everything else, but the opportunity is still cheaper than other areas in the US. I am born and raised in San Antonio and work at one of the downtown hospitals, and this guy couldn’t be more wrong about the coffee shops. There’s Halcyon Southtown, Local Coffee, PhiloCoffee, Ameretti, Brevity Co., Black Rifle Coffee Co., Shotgun House, Summer Moon, Folklore’s, Merit Coffee, Press Coffee Co., Coffeecionado, Poetic Republic, Cafe Azteca, Estate Coffee Co., Mila Coffee Co., Theory Coffee Co., What’s Brewing, San Antonio Gold, Koffee Kup, and a bunch more PLUS the one million Starbucks in the city. Also, it’s not just an open carry state anymore. You can conceal carry without a license as well. You really should’ve gotten a local for this interview.

Good video

Nice city to live

We do love our starbucks lol 😆 it's the best of both worlds. Small town n city vibes all in one. U can pick n choose !! The food is bomb too !!

Cool vid!! Question: why does the Texas history guide at 2:13 have a BROOKLYN accent?? 😅😅

I love this city.

Your travel videos are so detailed an accurate! I just moved to San Antonio about 7 months ago from Denver; I will attest to what you and your friend said in this video. It's spread out and not congested, so it feels like a small town because its not a dense city nor is traffic on the side streets bad. The people are super friendly and very chatty; I never meet a stranger when I go out and run my errands. There are lots of hidden gems and like 80 miles of hike and bike trails throughout the city (this isn't including the 15 mile long RiverWalk). Lots of preserved history here, too. It's not as hyped up or trendy or forward-thinking as Austin, but it's a nice, low key place with very affordable housing. If you want excitement, it's a short drive to Austin, and Houston is only 3 hours by car. Mexico City is two hours away by plane, so you have close options.

I am old. I remember when the Japanese Garden was the Sunken Garden. It is in Breckenridge Park, which has the zoo and the Witte Museum Lots of art an history museums. Check the city tourism website if you are interested The transit system does link tourist sites There are also interesting neighborhoods not noted here

Great video, when are you doing los angles and Miami?

I wish people would stop moving here already. too much traffic, and property taxes are going thru the roof.

Great vid and way to represent my hometown, my ruskie friend. I also love the Vietnamese homie, I love our Viet-Texans, they're so cool. The one guy on his bike was sort of creepy. Keep up the great work

Lived here all my life. Nothing changes here. Spurs are barely hanging on, WNBA left, SA Rampage left, Symphony just filed for bankruptcy, downtown is a mix of a tacky tourist trap and abandoned, old buildings, nothing is walkable, every new business to the city is built on or moved to the far corners of the city, we don’t have a light rail (it was lobbied against), public transit is a joke, express ways are a joke and filthy. Everything new faces a massive wall of opposition by city council and old school San Antonians. Cities smaller than SA actually have big city amenities. Meanwhile, an hour away, Austin is eating San Antonio’s lunch.

Hey Slava! I've always wanted to ask you what do you do for the living to afford all these journeys?

Hello , your videos are very fascinating . And very interesting. I want to learn about cities in other states , for example , about the state of Idaho, wyoming, and not only about the US states, if you could tell me about Canada, I would be very happy!!!

Great video! I live in San Antonio and though I love living here and don't consider moving, there are a few things I find hard to get used to. The weather is usually hot and humid, especially during spring and summer, it's not a pedestrian-friendly city, even though there are some sectors that are pedestrian-friendly. Also, what your friend stated is true, there's a shortage of good coffeeshops in the city, everything seems to be Starbucks and Dutch Bros, which are chains serving mediocre coffee. For being a large city, San Antonio also lacks diversity in food compared with other large cities. It seems like 80% of all restaurants in the city serve tacos. Finally, due to all of the above -unhealthy food, hot weather and little opportunity to walk because of lack of sidewalks and the heat -most San Antonians are overweight, bordering obese. Despite all these negative aspects, I do love living here, it is a charming city full of history and very affordable.

You need to do a video on Miami Florida, It is fast becoming the next greatest City in US behind NYC

Beautiful place telepathy

Yall SA is a sleeper city, every other major city in Texas forgets it exist mostly, and its downtown is pathetic for a city of its size, but they have great food, military love, architecture, history and culture. Austin has definitely stolen its spotlight for the past 10 years, but in next 10 the cities are looking to become more intertwined, and I see SA becoming a great player in the future :)

San Antonio is truly a beautiful city! Truly my home away from home

Man I miss San Antonio! I lived there from 1973-1984, so SA will always be home to me! I relocated to Australia in 2010 & have been here ever since. What I don’t miss about SA is the humidity. In the summer it’s unbearable! As soon as you step outside, your drenched with sweat. 🥵 I would kill to have an authentic taco 🌮 and Whataburger! Lastly, my San Antonio Spurs Go Spurs Go! In all seriousness, San Antonio is a great place to visit. Hospitality is fantastic.

love USA, this philipino guy probably makes more than 10k a month and lives a perfect life.. congrats man. 👍👍👍👍👍

San Antonio is great, I just wish they would raise the minimum wage as it is hard to get by with just one job.

Hey I'm form Nacogdoches 😃

Washington is best known for its biggest city of Seattle, but the Evergreen State is also home to a huge number of scenic destinations. Whether you want to hike right up to waterfalls, admire snow-capped mountains from a distance or spend the day on islands off the coast, Washington has it all.

I have been living out here for 8 years & long story short for those who plan on moving here, If you're just looking to raise or start a family and don't care about partying or getting out much etc then San Antonio is perfect for that. If you are the type of person who likes to get out, party/ do nightlife things, etc your Best bet is Austin, Dallas, or Houston. Oh and the dating scene in San Antonio isn't all that good either! lol.

I think the Azov Steel Plant is Ukraine's Alamo. Very courageous men and women will lose their life there, in the support of the last stand. like many did in the Alamo. Great vid Slava. Very informative.

Native San Antonian lived here my whole life, property, food and crime is getting really bad, gun shoots every night, homeless people everywhere, power shortages, if you like humidity and temperatures over 100 good luck, traffic is like California bumper to bumper, on I H. 90 there was a sniper shooting innocent people as they passed crazy nuts, it's like the zodiac.

San Antonio has a ton of great things to do and is also only an hour drive away from Austin . Tons to do in Austin.

Cool. We'd love to meet with you!

I saw you in Wilderness come to Rio Grande Valley !

San Antonio is my favorite city! I don't ever want to live anywhere else.

Live here for 26 years. Stay off 1604/ I35/ I-10 from 6AM-9AM and between 4-7PM on the weekdays. The Alamo is actually really not worth seeing. You could probably stay for about an hour and be done with it. It's not super impressive. If you do go see the Alamo go to the River Center Mall and see the Imax movie Remember the Alamo you probably get all your information before you head to the Alamo to get a better understanding. Basically the River Crusies and the riverwalk is by far the best part of downtown San Antonio. The Pearl District go on the week days preferably on Tuesday-Thursdays you will find a lot less traffic. If you go to the Pearl during the week it's impossible to find a parking spot. If you have kids the Doesum is an excellent place to go for them to explore all kinds of activities. All the singles coffee shops he's talking about where most of the singles do mingle and hang out besides the Pearl is out by the shops at La Cantera where you can find plenty of hang out bars and places to meet. I would stay away from the downtown bars as they can be very touristy and charge you full price on a lot of things. So it's better to find bars on the Northside of the city. The best mexican food and tacos in san antonio: La Fonda on Main Street Mia Tierra Blanco Cafe El Mirisol

Please do a video Phoenix ,Arizona.

Cool👍

I’d like to visit

Beautiful 😍 city 🏙❤️‍🔥🥰I l

Hey Slava,which city do u like Better Shenzhen or Taipei?

That's my hometown

Great video of my San antonio . Correction though it might be in the lowest income bracket for a large city but we have very low homeless compared to the other large cities snd cleaner . ( just wanted to disclose since a few shots gave impression homeless is high it’s not ). I love my city , we have small to mega mansions and everything in between . Friendly people Is the reason I stayed .
