Wow, what a bargain! San Antonio is one great place to live in my book. Forbes magazine also stated in an earlier article that San Antonio is 2&lt;sup&gt;nd&lt;/sup&gt; as one of the nation&amp;#39;s top recession-proof cities. Truila ranked us 4&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; in their book. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;San Antonio has so much to offer with low unemployment, lots of commercial growth, military growth at Lackland and Fort Sam Houston that will increase so many new jobs, cost of living is low, housing is still holding it&amp;#39;s own in comparison to other US cities and what about our &lt;a href="http://www.lavonndacardwell-realtor.com/" title="San Antonio weather" target="_blank"&gt;weather in San Antonio, Texas&lt;/a&gt;... it is great most of the time... one reason I came here over 29 years ago.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.lavonndacardwell-realtor.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=383004" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://www.lavonndacardwell-realtor.com/blogs/lavonnda_cardwell/archive/tags/Market+Conditions/default.aspx">Market Conditions</category><category domain="http://www.lavonndacardwell-realtor.com/blogs/lavonnda_cardwell/archive/tags/San+Antonio+TX/default.aspx">San Antonio TX</category><category domain="http://www.lavonndacardwell-realtor.com/blogs/lavonnda_cardwell/archive/tags/recession-proof+city/default.aspx">recession-proof city</category><category domain="http://www.lavonndacardwell-realtor.com/blogs/lavonnda_cardwell/archive/tags/climate/default.aspx">climate</category><category domain="http://www.lavonndacardwell-realtor.com/blogs/lavonnda_cardwell/archive/tags/San+Antonio+TX+growth/default.aspx">San Antonio TX growth</category></item><item><title>Homes for sale San Antonio - 2 Story For Sale in Geronimo Forest - Escape the City</title><link>http://www.lavonndacardwell-realtor.com/blogs/lavonnda_cardwell/archive/2008/10/24/092267cc6d9648a6a86e2984c7b7ba16.aspx</link><pubDate>Fri, 24 Oct 2008 18:25:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">07c636b1-36e1-48e5-a66c-e5e33652742e:376582</guid><dc:creator>LaVonnda Cardwell</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.lavonndacardwell-realtor.com/blogs/lavonnda_cardwell/comments/376582.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.lavonndacardwell-realtor.com/blogs/lavonnda_cardwell/commentrss.aspx?PostID=376582</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p align="center" style="float:right;margin-left:10px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.lavonndacardwell-realtor.com/San_Antonio/Texas/Homes/Geronimo_Forest/Agent/Listing_1569448.html"&gt;&lt;img src="http://media.point2.com/p2a/listing/9e06/4211/304e/d1a83167685cd260fdde/w475h356.jpg" class="Photo ListingPhoto" alt="Front of home" border="0" style="border:black 1px solid;"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span class="cutline"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Country Living&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="summary" style="margin-top:0px;"&gt;&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;2,729 sq. ft., 3 bath, 5 bdrm 2 story&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;-&lt;/span&gt; &lt;img border="0" height="20" id="Price_mi" src="http://www.lavonndacardwell-realtor.com/Office/PortalOfficeShared/images/1x1.gif" style="position:absolute;" title="MLS&amp;reg; #741069" width="34" /&gt; &lt;span id="Price_r"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana"&gt;MLS&amp;reg;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id="Price_pl"&gt;$219,950&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;- Priced to Sell!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="dateline" id="LeadIn"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Geronimo Forest, San Antonio&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; Price to Sell!
