That is an oversweeping generalization that does not apply to many parts of the city.
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.
