I grew up in Long Beach, within walking distance of CSULB. The neighborhood CSULB is in is not a high crime area at all. Yes there are parts of LB that are rough, but the area around the college is great. LB has a pretty good public transit system, Traffic can get to be a bit much until you get know the area, but I'd imagine San Jose is similar in those respects. So Cal. has the weather, want to hang out on the beach in January? Odds are there will be a few days that the weather is nice enough that you can. Given the choice, I'd likely choose Long Beach over San Jose simply because of the weather, and cost of living. Crime is not a huge issue, provided you don't invite trouble.
