Asheville was great 10 years ago, now its overridden by Florida retirees (and the builders who cater to them) who have driven home prices far past what most people can afford.
Also it was destroyed in a hurricane
Other than parts by the river, Asheville survived for the most part. The cities really destroyed were the smaller towns around it like Chimney Rock.
I live here and that’s not true
I’m not living in Asheville currently but every time I have visited since the hurricane, it has been like normal with the exception of Biltmore Village and the River Arts District.
The only time it was really bad was when I went there about a week after the hurricane.
