Too expensive to breathe
I was born and raised about 20 miles from Asheville. In the 20-something years I can remember living in that area, the more I disliked, and eventually hated going anywhere near Asheville. In less than two decades, it went from a having family small town feel, to being an overpriced and overpopulated dump. WNC is absolutely breathtaking. Gorgeous views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, great places to hike, swim... etc... But, prices are inflated without an inflation of means to pay those prices. I moved less than two miles away to SC, and the average home is almost $100k less. Visit if you like beautiful views and craft beer... don’t take up residence, unless you like paying double for housing and sitting in traffic constantly.
