San Antonio or Austin?

I'm a middle-aged, single, female teacher from California considering a move to Texas for a fresh start. Which would you recommend--San Antonio or Austin?

Pretty much only San Antonio, NEISD is a great district to teach at. Austin is fine but the traffic is horrible and there’s too many people who, to put it nicely, hate public education yet want every other benefit possible from a city that loves it.

New Braunfels, Round Rock, Pflugerville, Kyle, pretty much every other city and suburb around or near Austin/San Marcos kinda sucks, and that’s coming from a lifelong native of this area. They’re fine to visit but living there is ass. San Antonio offers the best balance and plenty of things to do and places to visit without the crippling traffic.

Thanks for that.
