I would not recommend San Antonio, except if you've decided to work remotely (and can find remote gigs). Yes its definitely more affordable but you're very limited in the job opportunities to those in defense/IT kind of work. Rackspace was the big exception, but its not doing all that well recently. If you had to move to a new city, definitely go for Austin, even with the overpriced real estate. The opportunity-gap more than enough makes up for the difference, and Austin is booming.
