San Jose, CA
 

Looks like I will be moving to san jose in the near future.. any body around here that lives there? good, bad, soso?

Pussy? clean air? gangbangin homies? whats the real deal?.. I lived in san clemente (orange county) california for 8 years.. but san jose is much further north.. What is the scoop ?

I have friends that live in San Jose. It's very nice. The weather is great and property value is REALLY good.

cool cool..

Heard the 7-11's there have good Cherry Slurpee's

thats actually the main reason I am moving there.. good call.

good. SO I can kick your ass on a regular basis... =)

haha man, are you from there? that would be cool as fuck.

nah its about a 3 and a half hour drive...but I would make it on weekends to kick your ass =)

right on hehe

Ok, some honesty.

San Jose fucking sucks period. Will suck even more if your coming from a place like San Clemente. Why would make the lame move like that bro? Don't do it.

If your looking for asian babes you'll like San Jose. Downtown San Jose? Asian rice rockets and mexicans. White women? Lots of the white chicks up there are pretty damn thick. Obviously, each city will have there fair share of hot girls, though every time i go up to visit friends in San Jose, i'm reminded on why i left that place to begin with and can't wait to leave.

Just one big shit grid with stripmall boxes. No architectural personality whatsoever.

I grew up there but moved to Capitola early on (south of Santa Cruz) cause SJ was just the worst.

lol damn.. that isnt to inspiring :(

I dont live in san clemente anymore.. Im in texas right now.. but time for a change. man, the mental image you just painted for me reminds me of that movie colors, or boyz in da hood.. lol

p1mp -

I was born n' raised in OC and moved up to the bay area/silicon valley for a few years and it sucked. SF and Berkeley were cool to chill/go out but silicon valley/SJ sucks. Unless you street race that is.. which I tried a few times.. hehe suckers!!! but gets old. so why you movin' anyhow???

san jose is big and sprawling .. some parts indeed suck. plently of asian and latina content as advertised too.

go 10 miles west amigo - to Los Gatos, or over the hill to Santa Cruz - just 20 miles more. Or, up 280 a bit towards Los Altos, Palo Alto etc. In fact, why not just move to San Francisco? It's just 45 miles up 101 from the big Hose ..

Its just time to move, this town sucks (300k ppl) hot as fuck in the summer.. I miss california alot too.. There really isnt such a thing as a geographical cure.. but Its just time to move on... Plus its in the best intrest of my business relationships.

there is a thought...

Fame and fortune is a magnet
It can pull you far away from home
With a dream in your heart you're never alone
Dreams turn into dust and blow away
And there you are without a friend
You pack your car and ride away...

Do you know the way to San Jose? :Graucho

I dont think I have ever seen it on the map.. is it on the cost or inland? how far from the beach? I used to surf.. it wouldnt be bad hobby to get back into...

that is soooo true.. I have moved so many times in my young adult life... been all over the united states... You cant help but think in your mind "what if i went' and "what if i fail" etc.. I will kick my self in the ass if I dont atleast try to make a better life somewhere... setteling for something is selling out... I

the hose is 1/2 hour from the beach .. but over hwy 17 seems like longer. it is land-locked and smoggy. It's about 15 minutes away from something cool in all directions. But, you MUST drive at least 15 minutes away.

Sorry bro, you wanted the truth and that's it.

Stay along in the coastal cities unless you plan to go way up north, near SF and beyond, or east near Danville, Pleasenton, etc.

You been warned. lol

Winchester Mystery House

And how does this make my daily life in San Jose that more pleasing? Please tell me.

I went inside there bro.. hehe. fucking crazy house. Mrs. Winchester had to move out coz she kept seeing the Mr. Winchester ghost kreeping around w/in the hidden rooms!!!

p1mp, you said you lived in San Clemente?? you do still? Are you out of state now? I dont see how you could want to live in Nor Cal after living in so cal... Unless you've never lived in nor cal.. Then i guess its worth a try.. but I couldnt hang. Moved back down here.

shut up beach guy. just becasue you hate the valley kids coming over and screwing your women.

you said sj had no architectual personality whatsoever. i am countering that the Winchester Mystery House has personality.

Agreed. It is truly a brilliant piece of work.
But it doesn't justify moving there.

yawn.

Again, how does this place affect my daily life? I'm suppose to enjoy a shit hole city cause one decent place is there?

...still waiting.

I live in San Francisco and it ROCKS! :thumbsup

Pimpdog if you're moving just for kicks and there is no true "reason" behind San Jose then i would totaly recommend SF instead. And since you like the ocean it's right on the coast. I'm 2 blocks from the beach. Only problem is that the water is fucking freezing, lol.

Keep in mind though that while the weather overal is great and never gets too cold in never gets too hot here either. We get fog and rain even in the summer. It's not like LA weather were you actually have hot weather all summer long. Actually our summer is more Aug,Sept,Oct....indian summer. San Jose on the other hand actually gets hot in the summer and stays that way the whole time. The weather is waaaay nicer there.

And of course being a major city SF does have some fun ass places to party. You can go out any night of the week and find somewhere that's happening.

SF Rules!

300k? you on crack?

this town, if it tripled its population, wouldnt have 300k

why you think i bought a house in vegas

what does candice think about moving so far away, since her kids are here?

she aint going :)

I used to live in SJ. That was up until around 1992.
It's a great place to live.

Exactly. The whole Bay Area consists of perhaps 20 entirely different areas, each with different personalities, but fortunately, each are within driving distance of each other.

The city of San Jose sucks in general, but within 30 miles, you have an *amazing* variety of different places to hang. 45 miles away and you're in the city of San Fran, which is an insanely diverse city with something for everyone (and even more for the sexaholics). The cool thing is that any area in the bay area you decide to live in, the rest of it is only about 45-60 miles away.

Traffic sucks royally (as bad as LA or Seattle), but outside of San Fran, the weather is just the same as in So Cal. Just don't expect to get a tech job here... the tech job market is more depressed here than anywhere else in the nation.

nice info.. thanks..

I have about as much tech skill as a rock.. so i wont be worried about the techie jobs :)

We're in Napa, and hour north of San Jose

I lived in Pleasanton for nearly 15 years, pretty much right in the middle of San Jose and San Fran. The whole area is gridlocked with traffic. I can't comment much on San Jose, but San Fran is great - There is something for everyone there.

However, the hosing market in that area sucks. Be prepared to spend $300k for a two bedroom condo!

I've had nothing but good and hot experiences with babes from San Jose. The town is boring as all hell. I've had more fun hanging at the Sonic on Broadway in Tyler than hanging in San Jose. If you are looking at the bay Pimpdogg, and you should, choose the areas closer to San Fran.

I agree with Ganja though, So Cal, especially San Diego then L.A. will treat you right!

haha, I wanta move to Danville:glugglug

Santa Cruz is great:thumbsup

An hour?

Not even the way you drive can you get to Napa from San Jose in a hour!

Shh we dont need any more people in santa cruz.

The fucking Point is so god damn crowded.

Traffic sucks weather sucks people suck.

Ther are no houses for sale for under 450K
and a livable house is 700K.

Yup santa cruz sucks :winkwink:

Go to SF you can surf ocean beach and fort point.

Much better:thumbsup

I would also recommend Los Gatos (if you can afford it) or somewhere near Santa Cruz. Actually, there are lots of nice, accessible places to live just north along 280 also.

If you have no particular reason for relocating to the Valley I would personally recommend you look elsewhere. The property values are completely insane.

okay, I must ask, where do you live that you think San Jose weather is great? Compared to San Clemente you will think you moved to fucking Canada or something.

The property is expensive, the traffic sucks, they roll up the sidewalks at midnight. The population is conservative politically.

I feel for you. and yes, I go there all the time as I have a g/f there, and my son goes to school right up the street at Menlo College.

Nice to visit, but I sure would not want to live there.

I'm in the East Bay. SJ isn't too bad IF you're in a decent neighborhood. A bit crowded and traffic can get thick, but the whole Bay Area is like that these days.

okay, compared to TX you will think you died and went to heaven, but since you once lived in San Clemente, you will know better.

and yeah, compared to property prices in San Francisco, it is cheaper, but still over priced. Oh yeah, try getting broadband up there. which is pretty funny since the Silicone Valley made San Jose the expensive burb it is today.

it is on the coast, right off 101, but you had better have a wetsuit, because that water is fucking cold up there

Scotts Valley is very nice, and reasonably priced. I consdered moving there a while ago. Still may do eventually.

that might justify a weekend visit up north, on the way to Napa or on the way back, but to move? You would have to be as nuts as crazy old Mrs Winchester

okay, I was born in San Francisco, in July, and as Mark Twain said, the coldest winter I ever experienced was a summer in San Francisco.

I love partying there, and spent my youth on Haight-Ashbury during the heyday of the late 60's, but Meloman must have lived in the Valley if he thinks LA is hot all summer long. Having lived in San Clemente, you know the reality of the Southern California beach scene.

You can always tell the transplants, that is for sure.

San Jose is great. You can drive 20 minutes and be in Santa Cruz. The Biggest Pot Smoking town in the Nation. Then you can also drive 45 minutes to San Fran( 5 Girls to every 1 guy + 60% of guys in San Fran are guy) So if you are straight then you are straight you know what I mean its a lot of fun!
I love this town!:321GFY
