You say “generalization,” I say accurate description of conditions by and large. On average. For the most part.
SJC is old, packed, and traffic is a nightmare.
And good law is always based on generalizations. I don’t care what they’re discussing, the Bible or politics or Amway. I’m for the people who don’t want a church/Starbucks/garage sale/party house operating next door with no concern for the residential character of the neighborhood.
There are many neighborhoods in SJC are no more than 20 to 30 years old. The Hidden Mountain development, for example, dates back to about 1980 or so. Others are newer. Other than old town and adjacent downtown areas, the city does not have streets substantially more narrow than other parts of Orange County.
