San Jose is actually larger than San Francisco? (Santa Clara, Alameda: home, living)

These are where your criticisms are coming from?!

Still at a loss trying to decipher what a "hole in the donut city" is.

Meanwhile, there is a lonely, dry fire hydrant somewhere in SF crying out for you, Dog. Do your duty.

Since when does San Jose not have a downtown? This is news to me.

That's subjective. It's better to visit yes, but not necessarily to live in. I love visiting SF but have zero desire to live there.

If you're going to make generic statements, you should give examples as to why.

San Jose may be somewhat boring, but I hardly think that automatically makes SF so much better. SF has crappy weather, far more crime, a serious and growing homeless problem, and even worse budget issues than SJ to name a few things.

Personally, I find SJ to be much more liveable than SF, but I'm not going to go so far as to say that SJ is better than SF.

My town can beat up your town. And it's bigger, too.

There is a few block long outdoor mall called Santana Row, which is adjacent to Valley Fair, a suburban mall. Otherwise, there are few towns like Los Gatos, where people go. There's not much in San Jose to offer

What S.F calls culture, I call a homeless bum taking a crap in the doorway.

I don't think it was supposed to make sense. It is just a neat reply to the "dog" that is dissing San Jose.

Sense is overrated. Thanks for playing.

San Jose has great malls & places like Santana Row . For this shop-a-olic who is currently and unhappily living in Santa Cruz, it means I drive over the hill at least once a week.
