I'm well aware of the population of the bay area. I speak to South San Jose because I was born and lived there for close to 25 years, basically around the corner from the former Cottle IBM plant. I still visit because my parents live in the same house. And from my anecdotal experience when visiting, the older mini malls surrounding it have less foot traffic. Which makes sense, because everyone wants to go to the new shiny places. And it's not like these places were overly crowded in the first place.
