San Jose is an independent suburb
Growing up in San Francisco Bay Area, San Jose has always felt and looked like a suburb. It was never referred to or considered a city. Oakland is actually more of a city than San Jose. When going out to hangout or party with friends, we would meet somewhere in The City (SF) or in Downtown Oakland. But if we decide to go out in San Jose, we would go to the mall - Valley Fair/Santana Row.
