Beware magicians among us like a recall group and Silicon Valley Biz PAC who want to change this view of plenty and beauty.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Recall group is not about county supervisors doing their job. It is because supervisors Kosmicki and Velazquez are doing their job. Reality shows another scenario deeply rooted in San Jose.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The recall group wants to spread those San Jose underground roots southward to transform paradise into crowding and congestion.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This disruptive recall group joins with a Silicon Valley political action group to perform an aggressive transformation. For instance, a gas station\/market proposed at the intersection of Fairview Road and Highway 156 sprawls their ideas. This current agricultural area grows food all the way to Gilroy.<\/p>\n<p>Roadways are able to spread the tumor of food destruction. Recall group leader, Stacie McGrady, and San Jose PAC leader, Victor Gomez, understand what they consider voters fail to understand.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Both McGrady and Gomez desire to change Hollister into another San Jose. \u201cThe Valley of Heart\u2019s Delight\u201d previously identified San Jose before the invention of the semiconductor chip that now identifies San Jose as sprawling \u201cSilicon Valley.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Without another invention like the chip to create industrial manufacturing Hollister can only grow into a city of bedrooms quilted with spreads of construction forever covering the wealth of nature.<\/p>\n<p>The answer seems to be to slow growth while proper answers by Kosmicki and Velazquez can be discovered.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Unless an invention is discovered to create business industries, Hollister cannot be transformed into another San Jose. Without inventions, these growth individuals like McGrady and Gomez will transform Hollister into a bedroom community of hunger and loss.<\/p>\n<p>Mary Zanger<\/p>\n<p>Hollister<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Letter to the editor Now you see the gift of nature which is soft hills protecting fertile plains&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":438876,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[88,90,89],"class_list":["post-438875","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-jose","tag-san-jose","tag-san-jose-headlines","tag-san-jose-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/438875","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=438875"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/438875\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/438876"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=438875"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=438875"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=438875"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
