- San Jose the Bay Area’s largest city has dropped out of the top 10 largest cities in the US by population and stores are closing left and right in this city tour I am exploring downtown San Jose, and what I found was shocking, blocks after blocks of empty storefronts.

The speed at which economic decline and social decay is spreading in the US is truly shocking.
It's actually a quiet war...Communists taking the country, city by city.
Not really, it’s been building up for many decades. The end of this age is coming to an end as expected. Read your Bible and you’ll see that this is all printed in black white and red. An expected end. You’ll see that everything happening here has happened to every civilization for thousands of years that turns its back on God. The covenant has been broken and Gods protection and provision has been taken away. It’s only going to get worse.
Only in blue states tho
Thanks to Biden

As a 40 year resident of San Jose, I witnessed the promises of former mayors, city councilman and county supervisors pontificate how bicycle lanes, granite pave-stones, reduced parking and light rail will transform and revitalize San Jose's urban core. None of their statements hold true. The politicians do not understand how to run businesses and wasted $millions of tax-payer revenue, to redevelop downtown over the last decades. I used go downtown for dinner and entertainment. But now the streets are constricted, only two lanes where there used to be four. Parking is not available as the city squeezed housing into areas that previously had parking to allow small businesses to operate. The area of Julian and N. 2nd street is difficult to access, with one-way streets and no turns allowed.
I have witnessed the parking police ticket a merchant delivering a wedding cake on a Saturday. The delivery truck only stopped for a minute in a handicapped zone on N. Third St. There was no other place for the delivery van to stop. The streets are a maze of obstacles making it impossible to visit, find a parking space and go dinning. The city leaders have ignored the advice of traffic engineers and street planners.
The city almost landed a deal with Nividia, to move that company to downtown SJ. They lost it when the greedy politicians demanded concessions from the company to move downtown. They also spent $millions to buy up land for a major league ballpark and failed. Now they want to bring BART to downtown, rapid transit to a place where there are no jobs. The light rail is very slow and inefficient, snaking through downtown and takes longer than driving 101 to arrive at destinations to the north. Politically connected families have lobbied to spend tax dollars to enhance the downtown area, helping boost their family owned real-estate property values. Downtown San Jose is an urban planning nightmare and failure. It can only get worse with the badly educated urban planning socialists running the government.
What a tragedy!
San Jose born and raised (South)... And seeing the collapse,makes me sick to my stomach.
I used to work in a gas station around Julian St. back in the late 70's as a teenager. It was vibrant and fun. So full of life. Now, I have no intension to drive down that street.
Sounds just like Hawaii. We have the same incompetent "leaders" not serving the public.
My husband (RIP ) used to make good stories about growing up in San Jose with his family. He reminisced of San Jose: a lot of friendly people, great weather, and plenty of jobs. He witnessed the city change so much.
I moved to San Jose in 1957 just out of high school, drove thru downtown with my 49 chevy with the pipes sounding good. lived in Milpitas for 35 yrs. What I seen transpire in my time there breaks my heart. What a fabulous place it was. Left 20 yrs ago, I used to miss it but after I've seen what has happened I am really glad my family left. Nothing left but nostalgia. Bon voyage my once beautiful home.
our best memories is sometimes all we have, thank you for sharing
used too go to the theaters in miliptas, and skateboard at the halfpipe at park victoria, thank goodness for dial a ride 10cents. MILPITAS SMOGMONSTER.
@@LeoMetalTraveler My memories of San Jose are all I have left. It was great back then (in my mind). I wish I could add more good memories, but I don't want to become a crime victim. A coworker had his own scary adventure. He was walking to his car (in business attire) when three youths about half a block ahead were walking in the same direction. They saw him and turned around to walk in his direction. Is that suspicious? My coworker was alert and thought so. He didn't want to risk being sucker punched and stomped, so he turned around and ran the away as fast as he could hoping the half block lead would be enough for him to take the long way to his car. He is in good shape, so he managed to get away from the three youths pursuing him. He was huffing and puffing by the time he got to his car not so much from just the running, but from the huge stress spike and fear of evading the youths. He said he will try to decline every future situation where the company tries to send him to work with clients in that area. He wants no more adventures with american youths.
Get ready to make it cost them.
@@jenny-DD So are yours... you just don't know it yet. Everything goes downhill from here.
Everytime you said, "That's closed," my heart sank a little deeper. Seeing my state fall into decay and despair is devastating. I left Cali for Georgia 3 years ago and I will not be returning 😢
Being a Georgian I hope to hell you learned your lesson voting for brainless democrats otherwise go back and enjoy the fruits of your labor not trying to be mean mind you ... I'm voting Trump for the third time hoping we'll get a FAIR election this time around
It wasn't your state. You were Cali's b!#ch. You left so as not to be its b$!ch anymore. Don't feel bad.
At least you mentioned Cali as your state and didn't run its name thru the muck.
I was born in CA in 1978.
I'm a otr trucker and I see poverty in most places along my route.
We chillin down here in San Diego.
Warn everyone about czar newsome.

Insider trading?😮
@@richardpiva3892 No they just do what the private equity corporations tell them to do.
Money doesn’t buy much in Hell though. What good will it do them, besides the short time they’re here on earth?
How right you are
Mitch and Donald are also rich from bleeding morons . what was your point ?
It's as if the hearts of all our once-great cities are becoming nothing more than open air mental asylums.
Their collapsing b cuz of what they did to kill off nature to build them by artificial dead light AI artificial life that is out of form and flow of music Creation spheres we experience living as being One in eternal peace love harmony and balance with the Great living Oversoul Spirit of Mother Nature

Just California.
They are prepping them to be a "smart city", so everyone can be tracked and traced... they have to get everyone out first...
ah yeah portland that famous city in california @@rachaelkras2386
@@rachaelkras2386 NYC is going downhill, rapidly under Adam's, he may be worse than DeBlasio.
Criminals and muggers (includes knock out gamers) created a CHILLING EFFECT that causes people (like me) to stay away from these areas. I used to go downtown, but it wasn't the homeless but the potential muggers walking around, motorbiking around, or driving around waiting for opportunity to mug a likely victim.
Homelessness pimps drug addicts drug dealers thugs lowlifes thief’s are what makes places bad. If the cities move these out the cities would come back to life.
1. The reason why many of stores were closed in the first part of the video, is because they were kicking out businesses in order to build the underground BART subway. They said they needed 2 city blocks emptied and cleared for construction and tunneling.
2. Chachos, Social Lady, Cinnabar, and one other restaurant had to close due to a fire on the 2nd floor.
3. Some of the buildings for lease have rents which are too high, and the property owners are unable to go lower.
4. The building with the eyeballs had hazardous waste issues.
5. The Johnny Rockets building was kicking businesses out, not sure why.
The 5 downtown zones which are active are:
- San Pedro Square Food Court
- South 1st Street Clubs
- San Jose State University
- Post Street Bars
- and City Hall
If you want to see a thousand people downtown, go back to South 1st Street after midnight, on Friday night or Saturday night when the businesses open up after dark. People there often do not come out to party until the weekends, after work.
Update: Two new downtown restaurants just opened this week: Rollati now open by City Hall, and a new Mountain Mike's Pizza behind tbe old Hank Coca's Furniture.
I remember this area just a few years ago. I loved it down there. This is a travesty!!
oh so everything is fine. good to know.
@@Dwayne-mb2uj yeah if there was ever a better time to open a business in dowtown san francisco nows the time to do it lol
That's project will never get going it's just a cash grab for san jose. Cost too much and not safe for building foundation and you can just take vta point less.
I attended a tech conference in San Jose 7 years ago (approximately). It was completely different -- vibrant, clean, wealthy. It makes me sick that idiots and their failed policies have allowed so many American cities go to ruin.
Biden still claiming the economy is booming 😂 ....propaghanda
Communism always ends the same way. You vote your way in, but can only shoot your way out.
@@nickmalone3143His idiot voter base believes every lie.
National policies lockdown sanctions oil shutdowns focus on military have accelerated this
@@ElectricUniverse56 They don't prosecute criminals in Commiefornia, that is a big factor for the smash and grabs and other crime destroying small businesses.
Learned more in this one video about what’s actually happening in our country than what’s on the news for hours everyday…
The news is not reporting actual news. It’s strictly only what the left agenda wants you to hear
I pick my best comment of the day for me, you made it.
News are all AI, NOT REAL HUMANS anymore 😮
Mainstream news media will NEVER tell people about the dying cities controlled by democrat politicians because they want people to keep voting democrat.
Also look how every late night comedian is "suppose to be in competition" with each other yet they all push the exact same political view which is vote democrat.
Agree
I live in Phoenix Az for the last 28 years and we have never had this problem. All restaurants are open and very busy. We have lots of new construction going on downtown and several new sky scrapers under construction. Lots of new apartments being developed and lots of new houses being built also. I believe lots of people can't handle the 118 degree weather in summer time or the high electric bills. Well I hope it never gets like that over here. Enjoy watching your videos and keep them coming. Thanks
I left the Bay Area back in '98 for Phoenix. Moved there in August and almost passed out from the heat. Over time I adapted and raised a family. We left Arizona in 2021 for northern Ohio. I got tired of the heat and wanted to get out of the desert.
It's pretty vibrant up here, though like most places, times aren't as good as they once were. Finding an affordable house is tough unless you're willing to invest alot in renovations. Many of the affordable nice ones are bought up and turned into rentals. Cash offers. We can't compete with that.
Enjoy Arizona democrat
I lived in Milpitas for over 20 years and moved out of California 2 years ago before things in the Bay Area turned ugly.
San Jose used to be awesome and to see it now breaks my heart.
And yet the media shows NOTHING about the plight of the Bay Area.
A heartfelt thank you for exposing the TRUTH of what’s actually going on
It's like the ruins of a lost civilization.
You don't believe we are lost?
"civilization" 😂
@@ccirish4519 Yes civilization. There are pockets of the USA that are crumbling into nothingness.
Live in the burbs, shop Amazon all is good.
Bidenomics at work!!!!
It's not called The Great Reset for nothing lol
California which was once the envy of many States has been reduced to this sorry state...sad...very, very sad. My husband and I took a long time to make a decision if we want to stay in the Peninsula (San Mateo County), and we're glad we left 3 years ago, moved to a city 2 hrs away from San Francisco. It's an entirely different culture where we live now, people are friendlier and more respectful. It's the wisest decision we ever made. Thank you for sharing us your video.
Do you vote Democrat?
My whole family left. My father told everyone to leave 10 years ago. And I was the only one who didn’t listen. I didn’t believe it. Now my brothers and sisters live in States where they own their own homes and the children are thriving and every store is open.
Two hours from San Mateo? So, Belmont?
The entire bay area is a disaster. They choose to support bums and crime over tax-paying citizens. It's a shame.
You moved to Reno?
The bay is full of the most selfish people I’ve ever seen, which is sad because I’ve been fortunate to do quite a bit of traveling. And even sadder is how so many people in the bay treat their neighborhoods and the environment like total shit. Dumping fast food bags on sidewalks, spare tires left against the curbs, etc, etc I’ve never seen such filth elsewhere in my life. I dare say most of even NYC is cleaner than the bay. Like you said, go outside the bay and it’s clean as a whistle, friendly and courteous people who would give you the shirt off of their back. Agains, sad because it’s apparent San Jose and other Bay Area cities were once so beautiful and the envy of many other locations.
Great job Gavin. Mission accomplished
I lived in San Jose from the late 60's to late 70's. My parents lived there until about 5 years ago. I'm appalled and depressed by this. And now they want another shutdown? Don't tell me this is not planned.
My time also...at that time it was THE FASTEST GROWING CITY IN 🇺🇸.. I did VERY WELL in RE...and the Nightclub business....you put too much air in a balloon 🎈 and it will POP...ALL ABOUT $$$$ Greed!!!Happening to Vegas NOW..🙏☮️🇺🇸
Let this be a warning to the rest of America!
They wont listen. We already got the warning in 1917.
this is an urban problem
Dems despise our country.
@@ezdeezytubeThat's the oddest thing. The Midwest isn't already an example?
@@dawnatilla2469this is a spiritual problem. Evil makes desolation and desolation makes for prophecy. If you learn to read the Bible this won’t be so shocking because it’s all written.
Visited San Jose 10 years ago with my kids. This is not how I remember it. Incredible how quickly cities and towns can be destroyed by shocking policies (by supposedly elected politicians) that are not for the people they are meant to represent.
Democrat Party: Wants more government and more taxes < by definition
Republican Party: Wants only government where it's needed < by definition
People keep voting for the democrat party then wonder why taxes, crime and cost of living keep increasing. What's worse they move into red states and keep voting blue.
So sad, and so very true!
Wow, thanks for the tour, sad cities...
The homeless and crime in this area drove people out! Restaraunts still operating during weekday lunches and for take out only. Market Street still has an active restaurant food court. Santana Row and Valley Fair malls are thriving, OUTSIDE of downtown. Also, San Jose State University in downtown is a TOP IT university where you need a 5.0 to get into computer science program. It's a lot better than the 90s when there were shootings going on just south of SJSU. That said, crime drive out Safeway and Walgreens, but it will still cost you $1 million for a downtown condo with a hefty condo fee. There is a huge old Italian bank building that is a historical landmark and can't be economically upgraded to meet current standards, so it just sits. A Chinese company started a building project and abandoned it as did Google. Google says their "Google Village" is is on hold due to employees refusing to work in an office after convid
This is a terrific video even though it breaks my heart to watch it.
I live in Silicon Valley and no longer go into downtown San Jose.
I used to go to San Jose Opera but am no longer willing.
Do not want my car's catalytic converter stolen while watching an opera.
Do not want to be mugged while walking around downtown.
Thank you ACLU. Thank you George Soros. Thank you Mark Rosenbaum. Thank you US Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
Thank you Gavin Newsom. Thank you Jerry Brown. Thank you San Jose Mercury News. Thank you Joe Biden. Thank you Kamala Harris.
Thank you Anna Eshoo and Zoe Lofgren and Cindy Chavez and Jeff Rosen.
And a special thanks to the leftist voters who put many of the above into office to wreak havoc on San Jose and the rest of California.
I notice you didn't dare mention Reaganomics , as a contributing factor . seems biased .
I moved out to silicon valley mid-pandemic. Covfefe 19 really accelerated the death of these places. It looks like they were dying pre-covid. The cities were ghost towns in 2020-2022. SF has a hustle and bustle back again, but definitely not the same as it used to be. I can't wait to leave.
This is hardly a Reagan issue. He hasn’t been president for over 30 years!
You had to go back 40 years to find something to blame on the Republicans. You have proven that the Republicans can't do doodly-squat in California. The Democrats rule the state and this is the mess they have created. It is on them.
The progressive liberals in the Silicon Valley don’t want to hear your points about all the failed leaders, now they moved on to climate change and mandates, which will ultimately deteriorate even more areas!
I was in San Jose in May 2023 for a convention. I was shocked at the number of empty storefronts. How can this be the heart of Silicon Valley and look so dead?
@@usenamenotallowed Sillicon Valley people (which turn out to be the richest people in the world) destroyed their own city, now everything is virtual, software, ideas, air...
@@usenamenotallowed I live in Bogotá, Colombia, I don't vote and still we have here the exact same problem you have there, it's not about politics, evil is growing, check it out 1 John :5:19

@@michellejoy6752 _Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to get through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God._
It looks so dead because the politicians literally murdered it.
I lived in san jose in 2015/16 downtown was always popping i went back to downtown earlier this year in april cus i was working out there that place was dead af on a friday and saturday. It was crazy how the city changed
Thank you for sharing !
At least they Have alot of butterflies painted on the buildings. That helps.
My brother lives in one of the nearby suburbs, famous for a big computer company. I'm out there three, four times a year visiting. San Fran is completely off our visiting list, he hates driving in the city, I despise the crime and the government, and locally, we have great times together. We rarely go into San Jose, and I had no idea that the California blight had reached the city. Truly tragic.
This have NOTHING TO DO WITH PORVERTY OR HIGH PRICE LIVING!!

I think there are issues but don’t be disingenuous. You two cranky types wouldn’t have gone to the city anyways. Just sat around complaining about how it was too busy if this wasn’t the issue.
Yep, it's scary
@@chris8535no state wants to be like California or New York.
Best reason to visit San Francisco is to keep driving through it on the way up to Tiburon and Sausalito. Do not stop, do not pass go.
I can't say I "enjoy" your videos. As a native Californian, it's so sad to watch my home State fall apart city by city. Sadly San Diego where I grew up is not far behind. Keep making these to show the world that these once great cities are now turning into Detroit even though the Governor says nothings wrong. Stay safe and I won't blame you the day you choose to leave.
I notice that most reports leave out San Diego as if its "Hillcrest" image must be protected at all costs. I lived there back when "Hillcrest" wasn't gay at all!
Watch a Detroit downtown video so much cleaner and stores are OPEN😊
I know right? I lived there a couple of years as a kid and the last place I lived there was North Park so some of that "fabulousness" bled over to us.
@@sb8404 You must mean Greek Town. Just like Hillcrest in San Diego, Detroit fights to show and protect that image at all costs too. That and showing the city at night or from several miles away so the rest of the filth and blight isn't shown. Sadly Detroit (and the rest of Michigan) has been dead for years. I've been hearing "Oh, it's getting better!" before, during and after I left that godforsaken State. The ONLY growth that place has seen in over 60yrs was on Jennifer Granholm's face.
This is what happens when you vote Democrat. So people either better start changing who they vote for, or get used to this!
What an eye opener. I live in San Jose but was unaware of the downtown situation. There's an area that spans many blocks, near the airport, where there are a ton of RVs, tents, and broken down cars. Before, many would camp along Coyote Creek, and saw many people living in their cars.
Thank you for your videos! It’s very unfortunate to see so many stores out of business. Can you do Tracy, Ca. please..
Sure thing!
I was born and raised in San Jose, Graduated from Gunderson class of 1979. The downtown become popular in the late 80's to 2005, then it went into decline before the homeless made it impossible to stay open. What I see in this video is that since there are no open businesses to steal from/ATM's to break open most of the bums have moved on to other parts of the city.

I'm from Santa Cruz. me and friends would party I all the poppin' bars in the late 90s thru 00s. also hit up all the cool restaurants in the area as well. totally shocked that downtown is now a ghost town.
@@user-yg1cs3ov9yred ain’t much better buddy.The entire government is corrupt
I see that... really a shame they left these loser neighborhoods to spread blight else😢
The nation that I grew up in is quickly crumbling.
Heartbreaking isn’t it?
it's ok....just keep listening to hip-hop.
@@sentryogmixmasteryes, blame a genre of music 😂 bc you don't know who to blame. we have no one to blame but ourselves. i can tell you're probably 13 years old, simply repeating what you've heard your parents say. life will teach you. good luck!!! 🍀
Thank you for documenting this. You should do downtown Redwood City next.
Noted! Thank you for the support!
Paradise in the 70's and 80's..................Glad I got out of California years ago
According to the San Jose Downtown Association, as of May, there are more than 73 vacant storefronts. I worked for a tech startup in the late 90's and would have to walk several blocks from a parking garage to the office. There were (working) people everywhere, and the restaurants were bustling every day at lunch. This is all the result of poor leadership, made more acute by cowardly "leaders" (and unelected bureaucrats) who thought it would be wise to shutdown entire economies for a pandemic. The long term outcomes will be far more devastating than the virus. Life isn't about being alive; it is about living. It's amazing what happens when you combine fear with sheep.
I could not agree with you more! In fact, I believe the whole city was planned out wrong... Airport wise and what. They could have 50+ story buildings... A metropolis. Piss poor planning. A suburb of a shithole called San Francisco.
Not Cowardly leaders... Democrats ...Liberal Leftist Radical DEMOCRATS ...Intentional not cowardly
They are manufacturing another lockdown !
Why do you blame the LEADERS rather than the people who ELECTED them?
This has much deeper roots than just the plandemic
I used to walk around these areas as an SJSU student, back before covid from 2016 to 2018. It used to be so lively, it was my first time actually exploring the city. I can't believe how much it has changed.
2016-2018 we had leadership in Washington that understood business and economics. Now our president doesn't even know what day it is. Totally incompetent..
It breaks my heart to see the city like this! I used to live on E. San Salvador in the 70s, every weekend I had a stand at the flea market on Berryessa Rd.
SJ was a vivid community back then. At least I have my memories ... It's such a tragedy!
Good reporting. Thank you.
Very welcome
I grew up for 10 years in San Jose, before the family moved to the Pacific Northwest. While it is disgusting to see everything going this way, my folks knew it was going downhill in the early 90s when we left.
I heard that the Pacific Northwest is the same way especially Portland. Portland is having the same problems as CA especially similar to Oakland.
😔
hope everyone's doing well through the depression of the twenties and the recessions and hyperinflation & pandemics
@@lotanto6154 in most of downtown Portland, it is. Towns like Tualatin, Wilsonville, Lake Oswego, and West Linn are still nice. But I left for the SouthWest a few years ago, and only go back to visit.
Portland has always been bad, arguably in some cases, even worse than Oakland, with its clockwork May Day riots, black tar heroin epidemic, child trafficking and rampant pedophilia amongst the politicians who eventually become Oregon’s governors.
If it's going down the hill, why home values are going up?? How about those republican red states, some of the poorest in the nation. Mississippi is even worse than some of the 3rd world countries.
Thanks. My husband was born in San Jose. We would have liked it if you had called out the streets and cross-streets, to help with orientation. This one was shocking and difficult to watch, but we enjoy your videos greatly. Don't keep the homeless off-camera. Show the whole story.
I try to call out street names as much as possible and I did on the beginning. We started at Santa Clara and then I mention a few streets throughout the video . it’s hard to remember when you were walking with the camera keeping your head on a swivel trying to concentrate. and pay attention to the surroundings at the same time, but I will implement more street names on future videos. Thank you very much for the support ,take care and enjoy the videos.
@@LeoMetalTraveler You did a great job! Your camera picks up some of the streets you cross too.
I guess you were not paying attention, because I saw homeless people.
@@LeoMetalTraveler Her suggestions are valid. I know the area quite well and knew the streets. If you don't identify the actual streets the video becomes just one closed door after another....
@@LeoMetalTravelerPerhaps we should all walk with wooden canes so we can beat shoplifters to a pulp when they don't pay. It's our fault, our citizens are soft on the inside and outside. I think you are a kind person. Thank you for all your efforts! I lived at 370 Ellis in 1988😢 that was a lifetime ago. I'm now 60😮🤔
i used to go to downtown san jose as a kid and always saw bustling activity. people in suits, clean highways, people walking, and no homeless. i went there recently and one park was essentially just a campsite for bums. its crazy how bad it's gotten in just 10 years.
Wow... I had no idea San Jose was that bad. Thank you for showing this...
You bet
I'm from Colorado and went to San Jose back in summer of 2019 for a conference expecting to see a thriving downtown and left extremely confused. How is the urban center of Silicon Valley a desolate vacant sh*thole? The biggest thing I noticed is that there weren't any people walking around. It seemed strange.
And that was five years ago when it was doing better, San Jose used to be in the top 10 populated cities in the U.S. but the population reduction plan has dethrone the city from there ,barely anybody on the streets at midday on a weekday
@@JC-kv1vn The downfall of America began with the shut down of mental institutions during the 80s.

DON'T WORRY, IT IS COMING HERE SOON!
spent my teens / early twenties in san jose back in the 90's . i wish i knew back then how downtown would have ended up . i would have appreciated it more . i went back just before the pandemic and i was heartbroken how sterile and expensive everything was . it's no wonder it's a ghost town now . hell , the dump i lived in was last sold for 1.5 million dollars . who the hell can afford a 11k a month mortage

Looks just like my hometown San Francisco's downtown... very sad! I envy all those who took up and moved!
I was born and raised in San Jose I left in 79 so sad to see what the democrats have done to California
Now I live in an area that doesn’t tolerate criminals and life is pretty safe
Another crybaby blaming democrats 😂😂😂

Our country is brainwashed... Its Politicians not just one side , with due respect, you are the problem.
yeah? go ahead and hang out there with nothing but the ruins of DEMOCRATS@@mannyboyaztlan5127
Most cities across the country have been, or are being, systematically destroyed. It’s being done by design.
They are using the homeless/drug addicts to devalue the neighborhoods and then buy the realestate cheap.
Only cities run by Democrats .... they are intentionally destroying their inner cities ... Defund their Police and Black Liver Matter...Liberalism and Sorros District attorneys letting criminals go and no bail policies ...only in democrat run cities not Republican red state and red cities...
D E M O C R A T S
It's global. By design. Look what's going on in Europe. In Canada. In Australia.
No you need to check the stats again….only the democrat run cities look like a literal zhombie movie….😂 you know the cities full of effeminate white men defunding the cops that keeps the angry black alpha AFRICAN American men from robbing there stores….😂😂😂😂😂 PLEASE keep voting democrat. And you willlllll!!!!…😂😂
I was born and raised here. Most of the people I know , including myself , moved away because no one can afford to live there, let alone shop or run a business here anymore. CA is not business friendly.
Flew into SJ in Sept 2023 to visit my oldest daughter. Drove to her apt complex and my wife says “look honey the community is having a block party and people are eating and drinking outside their cars” I said, “no….these are all homeless people living in their cars and it’s no party!” SJ…. What a dump!!
It kills me to see my hometown falling apart.
San Jose was such a quiet big city, but it had life...
Used to live in SJ suburbs, CA back in the 90s & the downtown was still thriving then. A day/night world of difference in this video. A forlorn feeling with so many closed, boarded-up shop fronts & empty spaces for lease.
You can't being a dead person back to life. This country is now brain dead.
Most of what you see happened just in the last few years. Never underestimate the destructive force of stupid people who think they're right.
I know what you mean, but I’m not sure I’d say downtown SJ was ever exactly “thriving.”
And with all the murals, it looks just like Cuba
"Coming soon;good luck with that"🤣
That should be my next video title 😁
Hahaha
You know how there's rumors that developers wanted the prized land in Maui, and they knew that the people would not sell, so they needed a Event to change their mind. So now we see something similar on a larger scale in SF Bay, downtown gutted by crimes & one can't help but wonder if there's a organized engineered effort to drive property values way down and then some developers will buy it for cheap. I would not be shocked if some whistleblower came forward from a architecture office with actual proof of building plans of areas like Maui & SF, where they knew ahead of time what to build & where. Some say it is WEF doing their 15 minutes Smart Cities which are a nice way of saying concentration camp.
Maui I agree with but I'm not sure your other point does.
Buy it for cheap to do what with it?
Joos behind the curtains..
Well they can't set the whole Bay Area on fire, that would be too suspicious. So they do that thing in Robocop, flood the area with crime and drugs, the people that can afford to just move out, and the politicians are in on it, getting kickbacks as the city rots. Then the developers buy it for cheap, flip it, and make a huge profit! You see lots of videos of lootings in SF, and the politicians aren't really serious about stopping it for the last few years. This is no accident.@@twasbrillig33
Tear down and gentrify it for money.@@nadinekonig5622
I was in downtown San Jose in 2004/2005, it looked nothing like this...sad.
Thanks to Governor nuisance can't arrest a shoplifter under $950 this has destroyed the mom-and-pop stores in California what a governor
Thanks for taking the time to do these videos. Truth hurts, but we all need to see what happens when you don’t take the right to vote seriously.
Voting is what gets you this kind of crap. Government does this.
@@Donb1233 or not caring to vote at all
Same thing happened at a mall in a town I used to live in. It was the owner had skyrocketed the rents so all the businesses closed. Took 5 years or more and a new owner and all the businesses came back. So I bet that is what is happening here.
The insane rent hikes everywhere affect businesses too.
Insane taxes, fees, and regulations also cause insane rent hikes. If you keep raising taxes on the rich, they'll eventually leave.
You'll notice most of these owners are Chinese and socialist billionaires with WEF ties
Shocking, what does the future holds for this city(and many others) and the country as a whole? Mind boggling! Total dysfunction and in terminal decy!😮
“it says coming soon.. we’ll see about that” 😂😂😂
as a former NorCal resident and a lover of San Jose, this saddens me deeply :/
I grew up there. I left SJ 16 years ago. Shocking to say the least. Still got ton of people that I know that still there. It seems strange that I can't talk to them anymore. It's like people been in jail too long and something is not right up there. What's the world coming to.....
They all working their asses off to pay the expensive housing there. ain’t nobody got time for you, homie
Really hard not to tear up when you see stuff like this for America man🇺🇸
Liberal states are not America. They are a Marxist disease whose cure is not at the ballot box because ballots leave surviving Leftists.
You could interview the shop owners that are still there. Might be interesting to hear what happened...
Thank you Metal leo.
Thank you for your support. I am currently working on the new video that should be out in a few days !
I lived, and worked, in San Jose for two years in the late seventies. It was a vibrant, growing and welcoming city. I have fond memories of my time there. It is sad to see this.
Thank you for sharing!
Even before Covid San Jose was struggling. I remember we were working in a building kind of high and at noon we didn't see anyone walking around for a few blocks. It looked like zombie land. Only the Peninsula doesn't look like SF and SJ.
Thank you for sharing. Yes it felt very strange when I walked a few blocks and there was nobody around in the middle of the day on a week day.
@@LeoMetalTraveler Unfortunately that has always been their problem. Their mayor had always trying to do something. Personally I would rather hangout in SJ than SF, easier parking, less crime. I like where they have the restaurants and live music area. The nice thing about having a car in the Peninsula, you get to go to all the cities that seems 10-15 mins away and less crime.
Definitely, San Jose is doing better than San Francisco
@LeoMetalTraveler San Jose was bad shape before covid so this doesn't surprise me at all at the state that it in.
Jerry Brown and Gavin Newsom were before Covid 19. The infection was already running amok. Under Reagan and Wilson, California was the Golden State. It's amazing that democrats can turn Gold into rust. That should be impossible, but they did it.
Geez... I havent been to those areas in a long time. I went to SJSU in the mid 90s. We used to hang out at san jose live and party there after hours. I dont even recognize the area anymore. so sad. If you go north to castro street in mt view, university avenue in palo alto, and downtown los altos... its packed, restraunts seem to be doing very well. California street in palo alto has an awesome farmers market every sunday. Hopefully these places can keep it together.
Frightening. That many empty commercial buildings tells all. Great video.
Tell me about it
Tis is the heart of Silicon Valley people. I am very familiar with this entire area. Born and raised here. It's sad to see how our society has evolved. We moved 10 years ago and feel lucky to have gotten out.....
Thank you for sharing!
Progressives are regressive in real time.... IDK why the leftist cant see that...
Did you move to a Red state or City or into another Democrat Shit hole
More like devolved.
Amazing
I had a great child hood growing up in the 90's in San Jose. Skateboarding the streets, taking the bus everywhere. Sneaking into raging waters. Its trash now. Been trash.
Isn’t it wonderful to know that the government we elected are doing a real bang up job!!!! Way to go Nancy’s Nephew!!!👍 you wanted mierta, you got mierta…..
This started long before that.
Isn’t it wonderful and small minded people find a way to blame Nancy Pelosi for everything that's wrong in the world with the least bit of understanding of the facts or how the economy works? I hope you are charging Nancy a lot, cus it sounds like she lives rent free in your head.
Go Blue! yeah right
@@ulexite-tvBut everyone there are woke and highly progressive, why does it look like a third world country! 😮😮😮
@@ulexite-tv
Well, how long have Nancy and her merry band of Democrat fools been in charge of California and most of these cities?
What have the Democrats done to improve the lives of the TAX PAYERS and the TAX PAYING BUSINESSES in these cities.
Line up all the Democrats that have been in power in California for the last 50 years for a huge photograph.
That there is the picture of the problem!
I live in San Jose and I was not aware that everything was closed although I have to admit that I stay far away from the downtown area!
Thank you summer of luv. Also newsom
Wow! I was there a few years back, and I remember a lot of these places opened. Chachos was opened. I ate there. That's unfortunate
I lived in San Jose from 1959 until 1992. We used to shop at Woolworth, Penny’s and then the little head shops too on San Antonio. I wish you would have better named the streets you were on. We used to cruise First Street, just like in the movie American Graffiti. I believe you showed what used to be Original Joe’s, which was a dining institution in San Jose. This is heartbreaking to see. What have they done to San Jose? What have they done?
😟
I used to live off St James behind Gio’s Nursery.
I’ve thought (sometimes) I would like to move back, but never mind. They have let San Jose go to Hell.
Appreciate your sharing.
Thank you for sharing and thank you for your support I will implement more street names in future videos ,but in this video we started off on Santa Clara then we moved to First Street then second Street

It's fascinating seeing what has become of these cities. I still remember when there was lots of orchards in San Jose and Frontier Village amusement park.
We sat in the cherry trees and ate till we were sick. 1970's. A buck to go to the dump in the mud flats, Dirt bikes on fire trails all the way to the coast! WOW, 50 years ago.
Thanks for sharing!
Exactly! My late husband used to say that there were a lot of orchards in San Jose as well as Frontier Village Amusement park.
🎼🎵Frontier Village, that's where the action is. The fastest fun in the west.... For thrills and excitement, for things to do, you'll find everything from A to Zoo at Fronnnnn tieeeeeer Village, the fastest FUN in the west. 🎶🎼
Frontier Village. Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time. A long time.
I remember going there during their last summer. Fun times, but we had Great America now, but that's closing now too.
Oh noooo! The walking grounds of my young adult life was all along El Camino Real and Santa Clara St. back in the late 90s. The last time I visited in 2017, it was awful. This breaks my heart to see but I'm not surprised, given how it's being run.
Nice job newsom.
I left in 1994, and I am Soooo glad I did! Born and Raised in the San Jose Bay area, lived in down town and was there during its hayday! I knew this was going to happen..... it was just a matter of time.....
This is crazy. I remember San Jose being absolutely beautiful
I love your commentary!
"Coming soon"...."We'll see"
"Retail space"...."Good luck with that, heh"
I often think that this may have been what Rome looked like around 470 A.D., right before the final collapse and the barbarian conquest.
I live here in San Jose I was looking into retail space just to lease a 200 square feet cooking space is 7000$ a month yes that’s 7k a month for 200 square feet
Wow, San Jose is beginning to follow the way of San Francisco
A lot of people are buying on line for stuff. I try to buy from my local businesses, but one leather store I bought my leather belt from started to fall apart within a month. I found a leather belt at Wal-Mart it last over 2 year's and still wearing it. I do it at a few restaurants in my area they are really nice people that own the food-eats so I give them my business.
I worked in San Jose up till 2001......This is a staggering decline........this area was thriving when I was there......What a disaster
Very true, a good friend of mines, departed San Jose for Spring, Texas. In Texas, it is too hot for homeless encampments in the streets. And, Texas is a no nonsense State, tougher on crime, lower taxes and gasoline prices.
You know your city is finished when Graffiti artists have abandoned the city as well
Lived in the SF Bay Area back in the 80s/90s...how different it was...never a big fan of San Jose though, very difficult to park, poor city planning...did used to go there for dinner sometimes bur mainly stayed in Palo Alto Menlo Park or Mtn View Los Altos areas....
I was in San Jose for a Quickbooks conference in 2016 and there were groups of up to 5 homeless people on every single block between the convention center and the hotel... the receptionist said it was "Much worse" in San Francisco.. and also said if you go 2 blocks in the opposite direction past the hotel you start getting into really bad, drug, crime and prostitution riddled neighborhoods. Looks about the same if not way worse now.
Hey man thanks for making these videos. I lived in SF for 2 years back when I was a teen in the late 90s and have visited every now and then. It's so sad to see what's happened to what was once a wonderful city.
Thanks for sharing, I’m currently working on more videos!
Democrat ran cities are all like this..
Democrats: “Reeeeeeer! It’s capitalism!!!”
Republican states: “We let our police do their jobs, so we’re open.”
Democrats: “Racists!!”
Then why is house values are much higher in democratic cities , in comparison to thoe red republican states??? The democratic states also provide 73% GDP in U.S. States such as West virginia , Mississpi republican states are so poor, that some of them are worse than 3rd world countries. And keep in mind and make a note, that high taxes from Democratic states goes SUBSIDIZE those red poor republican states Without our help they can't sustain themselves. Go do your reseach and homework. And never spread disinformation. And best not to repeat things , just because it sounds good to you. Always provide facts. You obviously haven't done any research. And most likely depend on Fox news only.
It's disgusting what they have done and are doing to our country.
I spent a portion of my growing up years in Sunnyvale, CA.
