How lame is San Jose? (San Francisco, Sacramento: apartments, rent, condo)

[durf]

Evergreen you're wrong! Part of Coleman is in downtown. Coleman north to Taylor is downtown, according to city's general guidelines. San Jose Market Center is located as a northern gateway to downtown. It's on the northern fringe of downtown. I'm right, and you're wrong. End of discussion!

You're talking about the shopping center with Target though, so you are wrong.

That's the one, Evergreen. I'm right 100%!

With that said, Evergreen, you have a great view of downtown on the hill. If you don't like it, head to San Diego or SF.

you are being sarcastic right

San Jose has so many other qualities, not a problem

I love them both because they're in California. The rest of you, what's your problem?

Come on, thats pathetic.

I know right. It is pathetic that SJ, according to your link has a higher walk score than Sacramento. SJ has a score of 55 overall while Sac is 54.

You are probably talking about the individual neighborhoods? Sure, that looks nice for Sac, because they have it fragmented into 97 neighborhoods vs. 16 in San Jose. If we carved out SJ like that, we would have a greater number of neighborhoods with high walk scores.

You are fooling yourself, anyone who has been to Sac knows it is not a walking mecca like SF or anything.

MattClyde, nope, I'm serious. Look at the skyline of SF, which is only 768,000 probably when the census comes out next week, that's how the skyline looks for that population. Look at Seattle, the population is only around 600,000. However, the skyline fits its size. Now, look at Manhattan, even though it's relatively bigger, but it doesn't fit the size of the city, especially lower Manhattan. It's pathetic. The skyline fits the size of 995,000 instead. That city needs to grow its skyline respectively to its population. The need to focus on the westside of Midtown Manhattan and areas around eastern side as well, since they bulldoze section of Second Ave to make way for failed development that never materialized( now a hole in the middle of eastern Midtown Manhattan).

Durf, please stop making us people from San Jose look retarded.

On the record: Many of us San Joseans like San Jose. We don't however agree with Durf.

Obvious troll to even try comparing NYC to San Jose or to say NYC is more boring than San Jose. This is childish garbage.
