"Good at its job"
Let's be honest - Airport Boulevard is not a place where one would want to live - it is, after all, the main drag for Norman Y Mineta San Jose Airport. It is adjacent to major highways. It sees traffic 24 hours a day. And heck, even the airport restaurants aren't that exciting.
But Airport Boulevard is really good at one thing - living up to its name. I have never seen another airport in the world that runs so efficiently, and it all begins before you even step into the building. Signage is superb, traffic is nonexistent, and the split in the road signifying arrivals and departures is genius. I've never gotten in trouble for waiting on the side of the road, but then again, I've never had to sit around and wait for a passenger, as they always seem to be off of their flights on time.
It's not exactly a place where I would take up residence...but it does exactly what it is supposed to do.
