I have seen both numerous times.

Fort Worth has more lively downtown. San Jose has the more walkable and denser one.

It's literally a draw.

That sounds right to me. Both are underrated and overshadowed downtowns, in my opinion.

San Jose has rail & looks like a bigger employment center. Fort Worth's is probably livelier.

Damn, it's 57 degrees in San Jose right now in the middle of August? That's horrible...I mean, 57 degrees isn't freezing cold, but it's summertime for crying outloud.
