LETTER: Rent control can help Las Vegas residents

Re: Robert Fellner’s Sunday commentary, “The false promise of rent control”:

Mr. Fellner offered plenty of criticism but no helpful solutions. Also, his comparing controls rent to controls on steakhouses smacked of Marie Antionette’s solution to people who had no bread. People can eat others foods, but they cannot live anywhere, except maybe a tent.

Fred Trump became a multimillionaire in New York City despite rent control, which was replaced by rent stabilization in the 1960s. Las Vegas, due to its big population growth, has to adopt some of New York City’s ideas.

LETTER: No conspiracy involving Hunter’s laptop

The R-J should acknowledge that Mr. Trump’s lies, frauds, defamations, criminal indictments and convictions are exponentially worse than Hunter’s laptop being evidence or any of the other alleged Biden missteps.

LETTER: Trump tries to win Nevada

Mr. Trump advocating for tax-free tip income is definitely one approach to winning Nevada. But my tip to Mr. Trump is to pick Marco Rubio and show the diversity of the GOP.

LETTER: Red Rock development ‘compromise’ is depressing

Red Rock Canyon is a fragile natural wonder. To claim that 3,500 homes and the traffic that goes with them, and changing the nature of the watershed, will not negatively impact the area is absurd.

LETTER: Russian warships off the Florida coast

It’s strange that the mainstream media are treating Russian combat ships miles off the Florida coast as nothing to see here.

LETTER: Columnist gaslights about Donald Trump

Mr. Trump would have not won if his affair with Stormy Daniels had been made public after the “Access Hollywood” tapes in which Mr. Trump brags that he grabs women by the genitals.

LETTER: A balanced approach on the energy transition

We will never be free of fossil fuels. A balanced approach is needed. Politically doctrinaire positions on both sides won’t help us resolve the current problems.
