this is and will never be a melting pot

San Jose is roughly 50 per cent Vietnamese and other asian. Thanks to all those assembly jobs that had to be done here in 2000 but are now done in Asia. It does not make a cohesive community. New immigrants are engrossed with getting settled, establishing ties within their nationality and families. After 30 years I now do not know my neighbor, no one will say hi on the street, my favorite market and restaurants are gone with all the finer local stores. It is not a good place to live. Don't ask about driving. Cheating is expected, especially when taking the written driving test.
