in parts of the city, but I believe these to be quite dangerous because cars tend to ignore cyclists. The traffic can be quite bad as well. Ah, now lets talk about the storms. San Antonio is not technically in Tornado Alley, but it can have quite violent storms. Hail, tornadoes, high wind, flooding, lightning, and even hurricanes can affect this city. Though floods seem to be the hazard that happens more often than not.

Okay, the hurricanes are usually tropical storms or depressions long before they hit this city, but they can still cause a lot of damage. Another issue is the underground aquifer, which is one of the main sources of water for the city. Unfortunately, the larger the city grows, the more water becomes necessary to sustain the population. If San Antonio goes through a drought, you can expect water rationing. So don't become too attached to your lawn.

As you can see, San Antonio has it's ups and downs. However, it's not a terrible place to live. As for race, about half or so of the city is Hispanic and the other half Caucasian. There are other races here, of course, but Caucasian and Hispanic make up the majority. Oh, and the Texas accent is present, but it's not everywhere. When I lived out of state, people were usually surprised that I didn't have an accent. Not everyone develops an accent, people. Nor does everyone wear cowboy hats. Anyway, here are some links for more information. I hope this article was useful to you.
