At this point, San Jose is just another third tier city that sits on the other end of the silicon valley rainbow that starts in SF. <br /><br />It is laughable, my internet here is -- a lot -- slower than it was in my previous no-name city in the Midwest. <br /><br />The "crazy fast" free downtown wifi was supposed to come summer of 2012. It's not here. One day I saw it pop up on my available networks for about 15 minutes, but that was it.<br /><br />SJ could be so much more than it is. Young people want to live in cities. SF is way too god damned expensive. SJ needs to step up and flourish.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1923860625279115418.post-86387885484497039312012-10-17T15:24:40.206-07:002012-10-17T15:24:40.206-07:00My wish list: Downtown San Jose is the top of all ...My wish list: Downtown San Jose is the top of all major cities downtowns. Right now, Downtown San Jose is the bottom of list when it comes to thriving and attractive downtown. In 1994, Dt. SJ was one of the best because most downtowns were no good. They were rundown and sleepy or just quiet like Philadelphia Center City, LA, Detroit, Miami, Atlanta and others. Since then, they all got their acts together and did really well like Detroit, Dallas, Atlanta, Houston, LA and others. San Jose has fallen behind just about all of them. I'm not saying that its downtown is bad, but since the other cities downtowns have done so well waking up from the doldrum, they all beat downtown SJ today. The top downtowns today are: San Diego, Chicago, Philadelphia, Seattle, Boston and Portland.Foo Citiesnoreply@blogger.com
