The only people who make a stink, like you, about San Jose are the small number of natives who have a giant inferiority complex about San Francisco.

I quickly left San Jose for SF - and love SF. It's a true World City, has been a World City for almost two centuries, and is rapidly outpacing Silicon Valley in technology growth. Our start-up has hired 200 people in the last year, most of whom are excited to have left the south bay for a far, far, better place.]]> http://places.designobserver.com/feature/megapolitan-america/30648/#comments 2013-01-14T23:52:45-05:00 http://places.designobserver.com/feature/megapolitan-america/30648/#comments 2011-11-30T01:41:39-05:00 http://places.designobserver.com/feature/megapolitan-america/30648/#comments 2011-11-16T17:12:08-05:00 http://places.designobserver.com/feature/megapolitan-america/30648/#comments 2011-11-16T16:00:22-05:00
San Jose, The 3rd largest city on the west coast of the US, was NOT listed as a principle city. San Jose is the Capitol of Silicon Valley, one of the nations most critical business centers. San Jose has over 1 million persons, that is almost 300,000 more people than San Francisco.

The top 50 San José area companies had sales of more than $500 billion in 2010 and have facilities worldwide!

Even The US census bureau list San Jose as The principle city in its Combined Statistical Area (CSA) San Jose - San Francisco -Oakland. (nine county Bay Area Region).

Please correct this. I am sure if you investigate this omission you will correct it.

Thank you.
