San Jose hands down! The census will release SJ pop and it'll be below what the city has projected. It'll be start of a major downfall for this city.

San Jose growth has slow almost to a halt and should start shrinking or just stay the same. Silicon Valley is producing jobs in Oregon, New Mexico and other countries. Silicon Valley will cool off in the next few years, and San Jose is definitely the next Detroit of 21st century,
