Unusual for San Jose.

San Jose has grown tremendously in the last 40 years, and has gotten all the problems of a big city. My older sister lived there back in the 1980s when it was quiet, in a rural neighborhood away from downtown. Then explosive growth happened, with a light rail train built a block away. She and her husband moved. One of my daughters lived in San Jose, in the Willow Glen neighborhood, in the early 2000s. Middle class neighborhood, then crime started encroaching from other areas. She moved when gangs started problems.

Now many areas of San Jose are experiencing homeless tents and shantytowns, and there is rampant crime downtown. A lot of stores are boarded up and vacant. Not as bad as Oakland, but give it time. I would not want to live there.
