Housing and food are cheap. However the city is a patchwork of a very few great neighborhoods with a very few nice with a whole bunch of depressed or bad & very bad. You don't necessarily know what's a bad neighborhood because some new & still pretty developments are simply brand new ghetto's I would never want my family to live in. This is a border town here, it is not the U.S., it is a mix of some Texas and a lot of Mexico. The other reviewer unfortunately was largely correct about the fact that this is a city totally indicative of the decent of America into the third world and a culture of haves and have nots. There is a middle class, but they have to suffer schools that I glad my children will not be raised in; we are moving. Oh, and in addition to the high crime and the fact that you cross a street to get from the nicest neighborhoods to the worst ones, it is hot here, not just hot and dry, but hot and humid and unrelenting, I'd rather live in the high desert of California because it's more pleasant there with the dry heat. If you speak spanish, move to San Antonio, if not, you are handicapped.
