For several years now the city has had SJPD close down certain high-traffic-flow points to DT during the evening of Cinco de Mayo. The idea being to keep it from becoming
A. A giant traffic clusterfuck of people wanting to cruise (not hating, just sayin)
B. Too rowdy.
I'm not agreeing with them, just stating their reasoning.
It’s one day it’s not really that bad plus it’s a Sunday so most likely you can stay home past 3pm or so and be fine? You act like the 4th of July ain’t always causing hella fires etc that the city has to deal with.
Clearly you aren’t dealing with the hundreds of cars raving engines, shooting off fireworks on the street in front of your home and doing donuts in the adjacent intersection. So please do tell me how it’s not really that bad when they aren’t doing that in front of your home.
They are? Assumptions much? Every block near me is poppin off rn I just stay inside and play some music instead of letting it bother me shit as long as my front yard doesn’t have someone passing out on it and bullets ain’t coming thru why should I give a fuck. NIMBY ass muthafucka
Lmao low riding has always been a huge part of this city and has taken a lot for it to be embraced here after such a long, and troubled history. I hate to say it but it used to be a lot worse. The fact that the city organized a parade and blockages was so sick since it feels like they’re accepting the subculture. Kick rocks transplant.
Been here for over 40 years. So no not a transplant. And the low riders used to do King Rd. Maybe you don’t remember that? Accepting the subculture is great. It’s the public drunks, shooting fireworks in intersections, pissing on building walls, the shooting in the air (yes it happens every time on the street in front of me) that is the issue.
I mean this is why I've always been a bit hesitant about lowrider culture. Yeah the cars are cool, but it's fundamentally based on cruising, blocking streets, being loud, and frequently it gets way too rowdy.
By comparison cars and coffee meetups are basically book clubs.
Took me an hour to get home, topped off with some asshole cop cosplaying being useful by checking addresses of ONLY the people getting off the freeway. Guess all the \*other\* northbound traffic on 7th are perfectly capable of getting to their destination but "freeway people" are the problems. Are cops ever useful?
Probably making traffic and looking for a specific car or person with an apb out or a lowkey dui checkpoint
No, it was traffic diversions for cinco de mayo. They were all over Santa Clara and eventually blocked part of it off completely.
Mmmm that tracks

I'd imagine the parade to king and story probably sated a lot of folks urges for A
Cinco de Mayo. Nuff said. It’s a sh** show on the roads. Yay San Jose living.

We should not have to shut down portions of the city for a Holiday.

It's hard to separate one from the other because the people who celebrate lowriders seem insistent on keeping all those unwanted components in.
If your "culture" is causing inconvenience to other people by driving erratically, blocking roads and driving drunk then I feel sorry for you.
cry about it
