Possible Relocation to Ashville, NC. for 30 yo daughter Any thoughts appreciated.
My daughter and her husband (newlyweds) just relocated there a month ago. She had a terrible time finding an apartment.
Her husband likes it better than she does, I think. She always mentions the homeless, and lots of them walk around with golf clubs as weapons.
She lives south of the downtown area, closer to Biltmore village. Not as many freaks there, I guess.
Feel free to PM me.
Congrats!
She makes me look liberal LOL
Eh JK. But her thinking is if she wanted to live in San Fran or Portland, she would move there.
Many liberals, who leave the tri county area north of Gay Frisco for decades have often gone north to Oregone/Washington or to Austin or to Ashville, NC..
The older liberals, we knew in the DC area, decades ago have often moved there or to West Virginia.
The mountains between Boone and Asheville are hardcore Trump country, BUT the two towns are as far to the left as you can get...ick factor 10. I don’t get any closer to Asheville than Weaverville or Hendersonville, if I can help it. Traffic is insane during the week...where the interstates (26 and 40) meet is referred to as ‘Malfunction Junction’.
It is the crime rate that scares me from many Southern cities.
I see Greenville, for example, is listed as safer than just 11% of US cities.
My wife went there a few years ago. She said the streets were full of bums who banged on pots and pans for handouts. Seems like the spawn of the hippies have landed there.
I’ve read that SC taxes are high, such as the annual tax on your vehicle (to get your license plate tabs). Is that true?
Thanks.
In NC we pay an annual tax on our vehicles based on the current value.
Well, one of my students went to HAVANA for her senior high school trip, if that is any indication of the political atmosphere.
Thanks, I’m pretty familiar with NC and their tax system. My recently deceased Mom lived in NC and most of my family is there (aunts/uncles/cousins). Just not that familiar with SC and their tax system.
My son’s house is in Candler in the mountains. He goes into Asheville for church and shopping and he enjoys going to the Asheville Tourist baseball games.
Wasn’t Madison Cawthorn elected in that area?
Liberals have soiled their old nests and are now flooding into other areas that used to be nice.
Everything they touch turns to manure.
Is she a radical, Leftist, hipster, Trust Fund kid or retiree from Atlanta, Charlotte, West Coast? If so, then it would be perfect for her.

City of Asheville reviews lighting ordinance after restaurant complaints https://www.citizen-times.com/story/news/local/2018/04/06/city-asheville-reviews-lighting-ordinance-after-restaurant-complaints/492951002/
Some said enforcement of the citywide lighting ordinance, intended to lessen light pollution, went too far.
Several area businesses were given 30 days to remove patio lighting, including so-called “bistro lights,” or face fines of $100 per day, leaving customers and servers in the dark, they said.
My wife and I were once in line to get tickets to see Biltmore. Someone said the Vanderbilt family still owns it. We decided there was NO WAY we were going to pay rich people a bunch of money to see their house. What a scam !

I was not rude. People who use the term for thoughts are not exposed to young people much on a texting basis, or if they are, they are the source of much mirth and guffaws unbeknownst to them. Was a wink, wink, nod, nod to you to give you a heads up as to in the common vernacular what thot means.
