Yes, I have been to San Jose and I'm not impressed with suburban-style cities. Great weather, but I have no desire to ever go back. Had you ever been to Minneapolis, you would know downtown MPLS has grocery stores, drug stores, transportation options, coffee shops, etc... There isn't a movie in the heart of downtown, but there is one right across the river. Not sure why you have such a hard on for movie theaters. Honestly, why on earth would you support an industry that is full of paedophiles and sexual abuse?
Remember: San Jose is a city with urban core and urban areas in the middle and suburban on the outskirt.

Yimby, any building as unique as Apple spaceship or its second new headquarters' new 3 curved buildings? NO. San Jose is a world class city by many organizations, not Minneapolis.

What's your favorite building in Minneapolis? Bet San Jose will easily top that

Anyway, San Jose is high tech capital of the world, and no place can even touch that. The weather has also been so good: 70 just about everyday in the winter. Can't beat that.
Sorry man. Despite what your girl told you, size matters.

But don't sweat it man. She told me last night that you have really cute architecture and she totally digs it. She came over cuz it was a bit cooler than 70 last night and needed someone who knew how to warm a space when the sun goes down.

Don't get mad at her, k? You were busy working your tech job.

I don't think this guy is working age. The pattern of incessant BS about San Jose is more like a teenager trying to get a rise out of people.

That's honestly quite characteristic of insecure people from the Bay Area. Why do you think some of the worst boasters are from there? And why do you think the Bay Area has such a pure hatred for LA when it's not reciprocal?

You've been rambling about downtown areas; Apple isn't located in downtown San Jose. Also, I don't care about suburban, corporate campuses.

I'm starting to think he actually hates San Jose and is getting a kick out of people stating negative things about the place. Whatever the case, he is a major troll.
