We moved here in 2004. Crime has increased most recently with the worldwide worsening of the economy. That being said, my partner was robbed at an ATM once, now they have a guard. The house is in a non-gated community but the neighbors pay a guard service. I have not been a victim of robbery except from someone I thought I knewand that was a camera that “disappeared” from the house. So I agree with the advice of being prudent and careful at all times. I walk in Central San Jose almost daily and have never been threatened or assaulted. If I walk at night it is down the well lit pedestrian mall and I walk with purpose. Tourists with open maps and cameras can be targets. I only wear a simple necklace from the beach, no flashy jewelry. So as many have said, would they do it again, knowing the safety “situation”, yes, certainly.
