The 10th largest city in the US in terms of population. Also it has been named "the safest big city in america" contrary to all of you oakland and sf mothafuckas who think otherwise. Also, traffic not bad for a big city and lots of parks so no smog around.

A place with few venues for local bands, Christmas in the Park, and crazy Santa Clara cops in the next town over (which is all connected so you can't really tell).

Bad traffic and a bad nightlife.

Full of midwesterners and Asians migrating to the Bay Area for dull tech jobs, San Jose boasts being the most expensive place you can't figure out why you spent your money on it in the nation, probably the world. Like smog? Like traffic? Like competing to go out and shop? Like "multiculturalism" without real diversity (i.e., diversity of income, mentality, thought, and expression)? Like seeing artists shuffled off to borning tech jobs because if they don't the city will brutally swallow them financially? Like a downtown that caters entirely to suburbanite commuters and then shuts down on Sunday, leaving nothing but bums and bummed renters? Like being close to a place just like where you are but with a dirty beach? Like a university that cares a rat's ass about the humanities but boasts that it "powers Silicon Valley" by providing no-brained training for jobs that anybody can learn and that corporations should pay to train people on? Like 5 types of cops on your block? Scared of urban life? Like cowtowns with Sushi? Like seeing friends sucked back into a hopeless vortex because San Jose "is all about the people"? Like men? Got rice? . . . Try San Jose! You'll love it.

The only city in US history to make such a big deal out of recently becoming the "10th Largest City in the Country." They have celebrated this fact and continue to tell everyone else about it as though anyone gives a fucc. Detroit recently lost this "elite" status as of July 2005, but no one there probably is aware of this fact because they have better things to focus on. San Jose: the first capitol of CA, the 10th largest city in the nation, 3rd largest in CA, and largest in the Bay, and not a single aspect of it is any more interesting than this trivia that no one cares about in the first place!!

the city in the bay area which killed the south bay music scene because of faggots who insist on starting shit at every south bay venue

A city in Northern California; The heart of silicon valley, the 10th largest U.S. city, and one of the safest cities in the United States. Home to the San Jose Sharks, San Jose Stealth Lacrosse, and an annual Grand Prix. Awesome weather . . . a drive away from Tahoe, San Francisco, and the Monteray Bay. My hometown, and an great city.

"The Capitol of Silicon Valley". About half the people who live there have their family name registered as a domain.

The 10th largest city in the u.s.a, 3rd in california, has a million ppl, has the #1 hockey team in the NHL (GO SHARKS!), is the center of the silicon valley, easy to drive from there to basically anywhere in the state, is bigger than sanfransisco in area and population so wtf they r more famous for?!?!, has random eratic but usualy nice wheather, and yet no body has heard of it..WTF
