Yup. My parents live up near San Francisco. Their water comes out of the tap totally clear, tastes "fresh".
I've lived in multiple San Jose homes now, including SJSU dorms, and in every one of those, the water came out of the tap cloudy and if you let any dishes/silverware air dry after washing, they have a significant amount of white precipitate on them that becomes impossible to clean off without some kind of mild acid, like vinegar. At my parents house you can get water spots on things but they're typically quite light and easy to clean off.
In addition to that, the flavor just tastes very wrong in San Jose. I lived in SJ for 9 years and never got used to it, either.
There are some sites that have PPM ratings for different cities in California and it seems like San Jose consistently rates as one of the highest.
