LETTER: Las Vegas seniors struggle with rent hikes

Another article focusing on the exorbitant rent hikes for our seniors (Sunday Review-Journal). Desert Plaza is just one of many examples of this happening all over the valley. Out-of-state investors come into Nevada and tough luck if this grossly effects our citizens.

Let’s make these investors really invest in our state by helping our citizens.
