Stop being a sanctuary city and restore law & order.

@bmwloco

1 leaves and 300 move in. Drop mic. And you are NOT from here. And you did miss it. It was more fun before you got here.

@prettyclassylady6218

I didn't know anybody lived in Asheville, North Carolina in the first place.

@nicktucker3437

As a NC native(Charlotte) Ashville has been unrecognizable to me for several decades. So disappointing it tried to become the SF of the east. We have the same growth issues in Charlotte, but we get mostly New Yorkers.

@SpoonLady

.... because if you're a local, they don't care about you they just build another hotel right on top of you even when the locals are begging them not to.

@teresablack4771

Wealthy people have moved here, driven up the cost of everything and made it impossible for working class people to live here. Living in the surrounding communities is just as expensive as living in the city limits.

@superaa6779

Asheville has the same problem Greenville,SC has-too much growth, too fast. Asheville now has drug addicts sleeping next to businesses downtown. Everything is so expensive. Grove Park Inn parking went from free to $10 to $25 in a short span.Still a cool place, just expensive and less safe.

@analoulabrador5988

I know someone who lived in Asheville, he got a good paying job, but that job is a computer based job and out of state. Hes working in the comfort of his home. He said that there's not many jobs in the local area so he looked outside.

@bobcratchet3736

I lived there in the early 90’s before it got popular and became the Center for Liberal Intolerance and the armpit of NC.

@mrsavy7149

It’s going woke, that is why they are leaving

@user-ze9ns4hu8m

I moved away from Asheville because I got tired of " the scene". I always felt like I was living in the middle of someone else's party. I wanted a simple, quiet life. I can still drive to Asheville when I want a fun night on the town.

The brother of Asheville’s famous writer, Thomas Wolfe, lived in my hometown, Spartanburg, and spoke to my high school English class.

I lived there for almost two years. The beauty draws you in, but the people are unfriendly , rude, and strange as f@&$! I thought it would be cool to live there because I’m liberal and open minded . Honestly, I guess I’m not because my idea of fun is not gathering around a drum circle late night . I have nothing against that , but there’s nothing there . I think because of the mountains , the city can’t expand or grow. The cost to live there is stupid. I remember my parents referring to my neighbors as invasion of the body snatchers because they wouldn’t look at us, acknowledge us, nor say hello back ever. That was exactly 20 years ago. Worst place I’ve ever lived. Great place to visit for one day, but that’s different. I’ve always said this is the perfect place for a serial killer to start his spree because no one will care nor notice. I’ve let it go, but it still makes me sad I wasted two years of my youth there.

I have lived here for the past fifty years and have witnessed many changes to Asheville. Your review is excellent and a very accurate assessment of the current situation. For me, I have always enjoyed the option of living in rural Buncombe County and commuting to work in downtown Asheville. Now more and more people have opted for that lifestyle as well. This, along with increased tourism, has led to an more traffic and has help exasperate the downtown parking shortage. The job market continues to be based largely upon tourism. Service industry wages will not match the cost of living downtown. Residential locations, that are within walking distances of everything that Asheville has to offer, are being purchased by retirees and investors. There are still plenty of places in Asheville and Buncombe County to be utilized better but mass transit is almost non existent, so the traffic problem will not improve. Add to that, the future expansion and relocation of Interstate 26 through town. We are about the see a relocation of many residences during this construction as well as traffic interruptions. Despite all of this, as you pointed out, the overall net migration to the rate is positive. Most individuals that I know leaving the area; do not hate Asheville (or what it has become) but rather hate not being able to afford living in Asheville. Unlike Charlotte or Raleigh , there are not a lot of job options.

@Mojokiss

the parking and somewhat difficult terrain have made me mark it a little further down on my list since visiting in depth. it doesn't matter how nice it is if I have to spend an hr parking but it a matter of being more familiar

@fanstream

You do a super job on these walk-along video chat-tours --- I prefer your style to the vloggers who carry their own cameras and film themselves as the roam through streets, trails, landmarks ....

Interesting . . . I moved to Asheville in late 1977, after preparing Charleston, SC' s first comprehensive plan to lead the Downtown Asheville Revitalization Program and prepare its Urban Design Plan, plus design the plazas on Pack Square. The construction on Pack Square was the first project to bear my Architect's Seal! After four years with the city, we moved out to a farm in the Reems Creek Valley and started the nation's second licensed goat cheese creamery. I designed a lot of buildings on Merrimon Ave. and in the Weaverville area, but the professional fees were pathetic. Then, no one in western North Carolina would sell our cheese, while we were being featured at the top stores in New York City, Washington, Baltimore, Richmond, Charlottesville, etc. So we moved to the Shenandoah Valley and built the nation's first federally-licensed goat cheese creamery and my restoration of our Colonial farmhouse was named National Residential Historic Preservation Project of the Year. My architecture practice income quadrupled and I was eventually nominated to be Architect of the National Capitol, but my then-estranged wife didn't give me the envelope. LOL

In 1976 I moved from Sapphire Valley to Asheville to work a job making the cut into Beaucatcher Mtn for the bypass. I was lucky enough to rent a Swiss Chalet on Beaucatcher. I was driving around there last month and was pleased to see that they are still there! I’m thinking about renting the one I lived in for a bit just to re-live a beautiful time!

@shirley1413

YEAP left the ASHVILLE area, 10 years ago,,and hell yes as a blue color worker, the pay in the area is horrible. Actually I liked some of the smaller towns around ASHVILLE,,but never liked ASHVILLE, yeah it has some cool spots, but I don’t see the hype.

@bobroberts1460

I think you are just describing what is happening to any city in the US that is desirable to live in. It’s an age old tale not just specific to this time and not specific to Asheville. I did see some recent data that says the population of Asheville is down approximately.36 percent year over year though. But the population of Buncombe county is up over 1.3 year over year. I could see people who rent moving to Weaverville for cheaper rents. I don’t see the houses for sale to be much cheaper though. You just seem to perhaps get more for your money. Black Mountain seems actually more expensive than a lot of Asheville for what you get. I guess it depends if you are talking about rents, entry level homes, or higher end homes. But of course I’m just sitting here in Florida looking on Zillow lol!
