San Jose really has come a long way in the last 15-20 years. If downtown continues to grow the way it has, SJ has the potiential to be very cool. With so much mid rise construction, it will be totally different than SF, but could get quite dense.

Do you know the way?

I spent some time in San Jose many years ago. Great area. It surprises me how many people don't really know much about San Jose and it is one of the largest cities in the nation. It is a shame that downtown has to be restricted by the airport. As funny as it may sound I often feel the lack of a dominating skyline keeps it out of the nation's eye.

Yeah, I really enjoyed the thread too. It killed some of my misconceptions about San Jose.

It still looks very quiet, but that's not necessarily a bad thing!! I agree with SLO... SJ is growing up, and will make for a very interesting part of the "Bay Area Triumverate" in a few decades. It probably won't achieve the density levels of Oakland or SF, but there's lots of potential for the city from a "smart planning" perspective to go the way of Portland.
