Our weekly round-up of letters published in the Arizona Daily Star.

I can't stop thinking about the couple Tim Steller spoke to at the polls, who are terrified of Democrats, as they will steer the country toward socialism and communism. I'm about their age and wonder where they hear this crap? I'm a Democrat and yes, I want public schools, social security, affordable, even free, health care, gun safety, choice for women, etc.. I bet this couple want many of these same things. These issues are nothing new, nothing to fear.

A major problem exists both in our state and across our great nation: investors and investment companies, such as Blackstone, are buying up single family homes, which would otherwise be available for ordinary families looking to start their lives, and converting them into rental properties. This is creating a neo-feudal situation, and is also contributing to skyrocketing home valuations through artificial scarcity, thereby creating a massive and unsustainable asset bubble.

I can’t stop thinking about the couple Tim Steller spoke to at the polls, who are terrified of Democrats, as they will steer the country toward socialism and communism. I’m about their age and wonder where they hear this crap? I’m a Democrat and yes, I want public schools, Social Security, affordable — even free — health care, gun safety, choice for women, etc.

It’s the deep suspicion, fear and rage that the Arizona Daily Star has surrendered its free press responsibility. I think it was Trump’s building of many miles of border wall in Arizona that has kept us from mirroring Texas where over 1 million people have already illegally entered the country this fiscal year.Alan JeffordsThere are two things that I don’t understand about “blue-collar Republicans.” The first is why they are Republicans.
