I used to work on the top floor of River Park Towers, right in the fight path of the SJC approach and next to Adobe HQ.
It felt like planes were barely passing over the roof until I made the approach in the air and felt like it must have been several hundred feet of separation.
Still closer to a building than any other approach I can recall, but never felt dangerous.
It certainly does reduce the margin for error though.
