Austin is not a terrible place for you to live because you have different values and priorities than me. Also - San Antonio and Austin have similarly sized metropolitan areas in the overall grand scheme of things. 1.7-1.8 million is not much different from 2.1-2.2 million when considering that metro areas range anywhere from .5 million to 35 million. As for the cities themselves, city limits themselves are arbitrary boundaries set up by the people who live in that area as a means to govern themselves - they don't affect the overall size of a population in an area any more than a cow can affect if it is going to get eaten or not.
Also, since you criticized me for misspellings, I'm going to return the favor and point out that that you used irony incorrectly. Irony, as defined by Merriam-Webster, is the incongruity between the actual result of a sequence of events and the normal or expected result. Because our metropolitan areas are similarly sized, our GDP values are also going to be similarly sized - an expected result... Although, I would posit that my view is a result of my looking at things on a larger scale than you.
