[quote=The-Shoveler]… Like I said if you got money your not going to live there BUT people are moving there and they do commute to SV.
I would not necessarily move there if I worked in SV, but people are doing it so it is sprawl and it will continue.[/quote]
There are a few parts of SJ which are very nice to live in. Its eastern hills (consisting of homes built 1955 – 1970 on 1 AC+ lots and formerly looking over avocado groves) are much like the Oakland Hills and have panoramic views of the entire city (yes, fire ins is higher there). There are also very nice subdivisions off both Story and Tully Roads which have large lot homes built 1964 to 1978. Much of SJ IS well-heeled and established and a portion of its downtown is historical. What I’ve seen of SJ proper is NOT cookie-cutter homes 6-8 feet apart but I haven’t driven around in town there in more than ten years.
Could it be that you’re seeing new subdivisions pop up between SJ and Morgan Hill? I’m not sure that area is incorporated into SJ but it may be now. And, as I stated before, Alameda County is still approving subdivisions on its east and SE sides. Perhaps you’re looking at new subdivisions in the SE corner of Alameda County (Fremont or bet Fremont and Pleasanton)?
