->> I'm doing a shoot in the San Jose area soon and need a ratty industrial looking area, where I can either get permission to shoot on the property, or a place where I wont get run off. Want filth, industrial, old, etc. Brick or metal stuff. Scrapyards, corrugated metal buildings, cement buildings....

Ideas? if you know general addresses so I can google earth it, perfect!

->> Hi, actually there aren't too many of those types of areas with a lot of character, the city has done a decent job gentrifying that stuff (or else it's all 80s big box style)

try google street view of these areas

Martha St between 3rd and 5th street (just below 280) the area is actually being gentrified so it's getting semi-nicer a bunch of those old buildings were converted into condos but there's still some junky ones down there - we did a fashion shoot down there way back when we used to do fashion... there are a bunch of industrial areas south of that but it's more newer industrial than older

There is also a nice grimy area by our lovely office - near the intersection of 101 and 880 - not really old industrial - like 70's-80's industrial but I think there are pockets of what you are looking for...

600 block of Walsh st and around there in Santa Clara... - just west of the San Jose airport...

those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head - good luck... lots more areas up North - like SF and Oakland though...

What about the area over near Shark's Ice and the San Jose Giant's stadium? That's fairly industrial looking.
