I don't know abou the rest of you but just look at the way the Valley has been
build int he last 20 years!  I can't think of a single (if you would call it)
neighborhood east of downtown San Jose with any sembelance of a "town center
area" with the exception of a shopping mall.

I'm so glad that smaller towns in the valley have done something of creating a
good space to hang out, socalize, meet people and have art festivals.If you
expect to do the single job, 9-5 with the kids in public school full time in
this area, you are in for a lot.
