No. There’s literally no point. Your response will be about tourism and google buses.
i am laughing He started it. Don’t say something is so great if you can’t back it up.
As you can imagine, my Big Bro whom I respect 100x over, knows better than to pick a fight with me or better at least have his facts straight…
I’m sure by now he’s learned you’ll ignore all facts and stick to your opinion. I really loved how you slammed SJ for being high crime when the data says SF has a much higher crime rate. Don’t let that get in the way of your opinion though.
Uh no, he learned that I never forget to remind him how stupid he was on X maybe 10 years later… you have been warned 
Please. Sum of two guys’ ages could well be over 100… 
I think we need a forum monitor like this girl.
A Dominatrix who will beat the crap out of bad behavior
Ok, one more…
Me: Hi Sweetie
Wifey: Hi Honey, how was your day?
Me: The usual, busy. And you?
Wifey: Busy too…
Me: Say, you are a wine enthusiast who dines with some important people all the time right?
Wifey: Yes
Me: Ever hear about the great wines of San Jose?
Wifey: Honey, why would I drink wine from Costa Rica?
Thank you… thank you… really, you shouldn’t but thank you…
I’ve been to a vineyard up in the hills in Cupertino somewhere. Yes we have vineyards in the South Bay. Not sure how good they are though.
There are 35 vineyards in the Santa Cruz mtns near San Jose…Ridge is world class

- You said SJ was high crime. SF has much higher crime rate.
- You said people to flocking to SF. Population growth under 20% while SJ grew 400%.
- Google buses make SF great. Google buses cover the entire Bay Area. They aren’t exclusive to SF, so they aren’t a differentiating factor.
- You said SF is good to raise a family, but it has a lower percent of kids than any city in America (by a large margin). Parents would seem to disagree with you.
- You said SF has more tourists stuff to do. Great. It’s better for a vacation which isn’t the same as living in a city.
Did I miss any of your facts?
For some reason you seem to think that a world class city is simply a crime-free, growing, family oriented, city. Far, far from it. Essentially, what you just described is Sacramento, CA or a number of towns. To prove why your criteria is completely off is simply using an example like New York. Is it crime free? Uh, no. Is it a world class city, most definitely. What you fail to understand is that all great, world class cities do have that entertainment or activity component to them. That is essential and if you actually think about it that is what San Jose lacks which then explains in part why it is in a fiscal mess all the time. San Jose does not have the amenities that fill the cofers which then is used to hire the cops, get it?
I cite this article below once again. How is it that the 3rd largest city in California is not known by people? We are in the age of the internet, so news and information is abound, yes? So, shouldn’t a ton of people know San Jose, aka “The Capital of Silicon Valley?” (Uh, not sure who made SJ King, but we go with it…)
If the Mayor of San Jose pretty much waved the white flag, who are you to say otherwise? Are you more knowledgeable than Liccardo? Even Roshke, Director of Business Development, surely more qualified than you on the subject said it best:
A smart man knows his limitations.
My new favorite town: east hampton.
So the facts aren’t wrong, they just don’t matter.
2/3rds still remember San Jose while 90% remember SF. How many people knew about San Jose 30 years ago? SJ is trending up and catching or passing SF in every measurable metric. It’s not hard to see how in 20-30 years it could pass SF. It’s already on the trajectory to do it. To deny that would be to deny data and basic math. The question is will it stall before it passes SF.
Sure, what is there not to like???
Now compare that to your 3.5M$ Los altos lot. I guess that’s not fair, so compare it with this one:

People in east coast know what aesthetic is.
When an old girlfriend was back east for graduate school, I always marveled at the colonial homes. Very stately and formal.
colonial is pretty good. I hate older-los altos homes, very dark. Colonial and other architectures in east coast emphasizes sun (probably because it gets cold/dark in the winters).
If i feel sad about bay area houses, i navigate through east hampton to make myself a bit happier.
