People like me got priced out of Mtn View, then Sunnyvale, then Santa Clara, and bought in Milpitas. Milpitas though is a lot more developed than during the recession, with the BART station coming and all the construction centered around that. |
It's definitely has gotten a lot more congested. It will be worse with Bart and all the new development. I don't really like the Milpitas area anymore, except for maybe the area near Milpitas High School. It used to be a smaller, less congested city and now it's a bit too much. Great Mall is insane on weekends and around the holidays. The roads are super packed all the time during normal commute.
