I’ll bet “enforcing the law” isn’t high on the list.

blacks: 10.31%

Any time you get more than 5 percent, they start making the place unlivable.

Liberal voting patterns are terrible for city survival. Right now the City of Asheville cannot keep an effective police force. The city has a priority of inciting racial hatred and endlessly discussing reparations for slavery. I could never live there and support liberal lunacy.

We have visited Acheville quite a few times over past 20 years. Cannot say they have a “black” problem. What they do have is a woke liberal young ideals mind set. It seeped in over those 20 years and took down a nice area. My wife one time wanted to move there yet on our last trip she told me she felt uneasy walking about downtown after dark as we left a restaurant.

SF is no longer black. Too expensive. Therefore they can give them $5 million apiece. I should move there and change my name to Abdul.

They just may miss the blacks. Now they’ve got excrement on the sidewalks. Just remember: diversity is a strength.

Pantheist progressives are the problem.

“It seeped in over those 20 years and took down a nice area. “

Aided by trusts and Soros money, now an Antifa headquarters.

“There are complex circumstances contributing to the safety issues that Asheville is currently seeing downtown and it will take a community response to address these complexities,”

Hahaha

Until they get rid of the woke local politicians it will only get worse.

The Dems/Left started a movement they can’t control. Many of them now see the damage that it is doing to the party, but the genie is out of the bottle, and they can’t return it.

So is Chapel Hill. The only difference is that you will not hear anything about Chapel Hill in the news because of their politics and the fascist university.
