This article presents the author's views of San José. The author describes that it was a hot days when he was sitting in the backyard of the First Christian Church in downtown San José with Eduardo Zamora, who cleans the church and lives in the small utility shed in front of the author. First Christian has been running an illegal homeless shelter with an organization called Community Homeless Alliance Ministry. Zamora described to the author that San José has become one of the most unlivable cities in the United States. In the 1990 Census, 21 percent of the city's households fell into the category Very Low Income, meaning they made less than 50 percent of the median income for the city.
