Sprawl is ugly and depressing to begin with, but San Antonio's about the ugliest of the ugly. And I call bullcrap on your rose-tinted ode to the working class tract house. San Antonio's suburbanization is largely due to people from out of the area moving in (expanding economy, military presence, etc.) and are not part of that cycle you described.
San Antonio has not had the same scale of problems with drug dealers and drivebys like many other cities. excuses. you want to look at 'tract housing' that represents the struggle and escape from working class neighborhoods? look at brooklyn, or somewhere else, but not schertz or universal city.
