Let’s Focus on Creating Jobs
Editor,
Building more houses in Hollister will destroy its quality of life. Cars will fill the reads, students will fill the schools, farms and ranches will vanish, and the long line of cars going north every day on Highway 25 will get longer and thicker.
If you don’t believe me, look at other place that have been developed. You will see the roads clogged with cars, the schools clogged with students, the usual California sprawl covering what used to be farms and ranches, and the endless repetition of expensive houses that all look alike.
You must understand that developers care nothing abut the quality of life in Hollister. Developers care only about huge profits. So when the ads come out telling you how great and wonderful development will be, remember the reason behind the ads – the developers want to make money.
Instead of building more houses, Hollister needs to build jobs that will endure and pay a good wage. Perhaps a microchip manufacturing plant could relocate here.

Bring Back Our Bowling Alley
Editor,
I attend sixth grade at Rancho San Justo Middle School. We had an assignment to write to a local business here in Hollister.
I am writing to you because I would like Hollister to bring back a bowling alley. Hollister doesn’t have many fun things to do. That bowling alley was the best thing to do here until they tore it down.
What the city is building there isn’t even finished yet.
If Hollister were to bring back a bowling alley, there would be a lot more business in town and there are many benefits.
People would need to work at the bowling alley, so that would decrease the unemployment rate.
There would be a place for kids to go after school. If kids weren’t roaming around then there would be less trouble and we wouldn’t need so many police officers on the streets.
Also, if someone were to open a bowling alley, that would bring more tax money to the city.
It is very important to me and many other people that someone al least considers opening a bowling alley.
