Montreat is a high priced area infected with the new age liberalisim that has invaded the Asheville, Black Mt. area. As far as limiting car travel it will be interesting to see how they intend to shut down Interstate 40, which runs the complete length of the the valley.
I remember Montreat when it was a private Presbyterian retreat with a gatekeeper. You were given a pass to drive around inside. Incorporating was not a good idea.
I can't imagine where they are going to build a parking spot for every bedroom. There isn't 10 yds of level ground in all of Montreat. Most of the roads are really lanes not wide enough for 2 cars to pass.
I guess all the residents will park at Ingles on the S. side of Black Mtn. and be shuttled to Montreat :)
