Driving Downtown - Silicon Valley 4K - California USA

Driving Downtown Streets - Santa Clara Street - San Jose California USA - Episode 82.
Starting Point: Santa Clara Street goo.gl/maps/Co... .
Silicon Valley is a nickname for the southern portion of the San Francisco Bay Area, in the northern part of the U.S. state of California. The "valley" in its name refers to the Santa Clara Valley in Santa Clara County, which includes the city of San Jose and surrounding cities and towns. San Jose's location within the booming local high tech industry earned the city the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley".
The word "silicon" originally referred to the large number of silicon chip innovators and manufacturers in the region, but the area is now the home to many of the world's largest high-tech corporations, including the headquarters of 39 businesses in the Fortune 1000, and thousands of startup companies. Silicon Valley also accounts for one-third of all of the venture capital investment in the United States, which has helped it to become a leading hub and startup ecosystem for high-tech innovation and scientific development. It was in the Valley that the silicon-based integrated circuit, the microprocessor, and the microcomputer, among other key technologies, were developed. As of 2013, the region employed about a quarter of a million information technology workers.
As more high-tech companies were established across the Santa Clara Valley, and then north towards the Bay Area's two other major cities, San Francisco and Oakland, the "Silicon Valley" name eventually came to refer to all high-tech businesses in the region. The term is now generally used as a synecdoche for the American high-technology economic sector. The name also became a global synonym for leading high-tech research and enterprises, and thus inspired similar named locations, as well as research parks and technology centers with a comparable structure all around the world.
San Jose is the third-largest city by population in California, the tenth-largest by population in the United States, and the county seat of Santa Clara County. San Jose is the largest city in the Bay Area and the largest city in Northern California.
By the 1990s, San Jose's location within the booming local high tech industry earned the city the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley". San Jose is now considered to be a global city, and notable for its affluence and high cost of living. The U.S. Census Bureau estimated the population of the city to be 1,015,785 as of July 1, 2014.
Economy
The large concentration of high-technology engineering, computer, and microprocessor companies around San Jose has led the area to be known as Silicon Valley. As the largest city in the valley, San Jose has billed itself "the capital of Silicon Valley." Area schools such as the University of California, Berkeley, University of California, Santa Cruz, San Jose State University, San Francisco State University, California State University, East Bay, Santa Clara University, and Stanford University pump thousands of engineering and computer science graduates into the local economy every year.
San Jose lists many companies with 1,000 employees or more, including the headquarters of Adobe, Altera, Brocade Communications Systems, Cadence Design Systems, Cisco Systems, eBay, Lee's Sandwiches, Lumileds, PayPal, Rosendin Electric, Sanmina-SCI, and Xilinx, as well as major facilities for Becton Dickinson, Ericsson, Hewlett-Packard, Hitachi, IBM, Kaiser Permanente, KLA Tencor, Lockheed Martin, Nippon Sheet Glass, Qualcomm, and AF Media Group. The North American headquarters of Samsung Semiconductor are located in San Jose. Approximately 2000 employees will work at the new Samsung campus which opened in 2015. Other large companies based in San Jose include Altera, Atmel, CEVA, Cypress Semiconductor, Echelon, Extreme Networks, Harmonic, Integrated Device Technology, Maxim Integrated, Micrel, Move, Netgear, Novellus Systems, Oclaro, OCZ, Online Trading Academy, Quantum, SunPower, Sharks Sports and Entertainment, Supermicro, Tessera Technologies, TiVo, Ultratech, and VeriFone. Sizable government employers include the city government, Santa Clara County, and San Jose State University. Acer's United States division has its offices in San Jose. Prior to its closing, Netcom had its headquarters in San Jose.

Hi Lilith I wish I could spend with you right here 😀😅

[@TivoKenevil]

not as dense as I imagined San Jose to be.

[@MarshallSteeves]

It's a major city and tech capital that was designed like a suburb. It's fascinating. San Francisco is the "true city" of the Bay.

[@functionalist]

It's actually more urban than I expected. I thought it would be mostly wide suburban roads, parking lots and office parks. But the buildings are built right up to the sidewalks. It looks walkable. The mature trees along the main street are wonderful. A lot of cities have tried but failed to grow such large and lush trees along their main streets.

[@Sovereign_Citizen_LEO]

It was designed when San Jose had a population of like 15 or 20,000. Now it's 2 Million (Silicon Valley). So as always, cities didn't plan on such explosive growth (or realize how it will be in the future). If they had, the streets would be wider.

[@issac9930]

Tivo Kenevil Most of the Western half of the USA isn't dense at all. Look at Los Angeles, the second biggest City in the USA. It's HUGE, but not dense at all. It's very spread out, open, big, and spacious. Everyone has a house and yard, big parking lots and malls are everywhere, and huge big open highways too. Oh, and don't forget the Palm trees, great weather, beaches, etc.

[@issac9930]

Tivo Kenevil However, our East Coast cities are VERY dense feeling. New York City, Boston, etc. It's because they were older I think. They weren't designed like a huge suburb. And if you go as far East as Europe, the density gets to incredibly high levels. Go to downtown London on Google maps or something. It makes New York City look spacious. Personally I prefer the open, spacious vibe of America MUCH more than the cramped, tiny old vibe of Europe

[@krzysztoflewandowski7273]

Very nice city and interesting movies. Thanks. Greetings from Poland

[@issac9930]

Krzysztof Lewandowski Bro, Los Angeles, California is way better. Here are the other cities in California that I think are better than San Jose.. Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Francisco.

[@Sovereign_Citizen_LEO]

I've lived in all 4 over the last 50 years, and I would choose San Jose all day long over the other 3. In fact, I did. And the other 3 cities are actually shitholes compared to SJ. But I guess it also depends on what kind of lifestyle you want to live. I'm long past the clubbing days, and don't care to live in high density housing and want the least amount of traffic and people possible, while still living in a clean and smog free environment. I lived in the suburbs for over a decade before I moved to the Mountains to get out of the rat race.

[@quyenly11]

3:35 light rail coming

[@Illadelsyde]

That downtown is pathetic for a city of 1 million and in the top 10 of the US.

[@Sovereign_Citizen_LEO]

If you are talking about tall buildings, it is because of FAA Regulations and city ordinance due to the proximity of the Airport (being in the flight path). The airport was planned and located long before there was a need or desire for skyscrapers and high rises. Anyway, he drove through only a small area of downtown.

[@williamhoyt4915]

[@californiamade5608]

How is it less? Have you been to San Francisco? Notice how much more of a city vibe it throws off then SJ, the traffic jams, people filling the sidewalks, rushing to work, horns honking sirens going off. That's where the action is. SJ is a place where people stay in doors or for people who work in SF. After all, silicon valley is over 2 million people living in it.. so it's not less populated.

[@anilpunj6604]

@@californiamade5608 Comparative to India , yes it is less and Comparative to New York, it is less. And, yes ! I have been to San Francisco thats why I commented that its population is less. Also, staying in doors more is a sign of not good life. I saw everything in the video, people walking on pavements and all, but still if I see through the eyes of an Indian culture, we're not the people who stays indoors much as we like to meet and mingle with people.
