Finally, an honest and candid review of Asheville. I tell people much of he same things you mention, especially the part about the crappy job market and wages for blue collar workers, the fact that is has become too expensive for many locals to stay here, and the part about Mission Health. I worked for Mission for seven years, and when HCA took over the quality plummeted tremendously. Great video.
We were supposed to be in Asheville for our 14th year on Oct. 1 - 12.We were so sorry for all of you and our friends who live there. Watching this video was very wonderful for me. Seeing the downtown and all the places I am familiar with made me feel like I was there. Also watched your after flood video. We spend a lot of time walking in the River Arts District with the dogs, getting food and a beer. Hard to imagine all of the damage like that. Traverse City, Michigan loves you Asheville.
I have lots of memories of Asheville. My parents lived there for about 15 years. They left in 2004. It is nice to view some areas I didn't ever visit while visiting my parents 😊
Hospital privatization and predatory acquisition by large health companies is killing the system all around. Looking forward to exploring the city for the first time this October tho!
Ashville was congested, crowded, over priced and to busy to try to slow down and enjoy the town. Very expensive in town. The outter town is beautiful and you can find all kinds of things to do but it is expensive because tourists. All about money
#11 Traffic The congestion from too many people on roads not ment to handle heavy activity and all trying to be in the same area at the same time. Construction to repair/improve roads. And tourists not knowing where they are going .
@livinginashevillenc I think it's one of those things people don't necessarily notice when visiting, but after moving here, they realize it's part of their daily life. Years ago, we could avoid heavy traffic by taking different routes, but with all the growth, all those roads are backed up as well. Not to mention, they are narrow and have many sharp curves . I'm not trying to rant, but traffic definitely is an issue.
@@stanleyhape8427 yep. Some roads been doomed from day one LOL. Mills Gap- been bad for at least over a decade. And there’s really no alternative or way to make it better… And sweeten creek rd expansion is on hold…
@@livinginashevillenc it wasn’t even that. Just the layout of everything. I constantly feel trapped in. I wasn’t used to living in a place where you’re basically in the hills all the time.
Yep, some of the hiking takes 45 minutes- an hour to get to. It would provide jobs for people if companies run by people with disabilities had a fleet of vehicles and public transit and they were paid well. Just an idea.
@@ThatkidwithCP 45 minutes?? It takes us 5-15 to go on a hike. Parkway goes through town- hop on it anywhere and go hiking pretty much anywhere. Mountain to sea trail goes through the backs of many neighborhoods.
I would definitely move there for the mountains if I could afford the $400k home price and personal income tax? even with a 3 or 4 hour drive to the beach. I don't see that as a bad trade off. All American cities rise like a phoenix from the ashes 🇺🇸🙏

@@barbpolzin5332 Thank you 😭❤️🩹

Reminds me of so many little towns in Northern California….like Healdsburg.
Hospital privatization and predatory acquisition by large health companies is killing the system all around. Looking forward to exploring the city for the first time this October tho!
true.
Hope you have a great visit!
Very honest!
I keep hearing inventory is very low. About how many homes/land are on the market currently?
right now 314 homes for sale in Asheville city, which is almost 20% higher than last year.
TOPPS IS TOPS!!! And boutique LP NEXT DOOR IS EQUALLY DANGEROUS!!😅great info!
haha, you know all great shopping!
Ain't for anybody now.....
Yeah is it still there?
@@justsumnamewhat are the road conditions like now? Are there delays and detours trying to get there?
Ashe ille is fast paced ror a small city and there is constant construction
@@JamesClark-c2m it’s the biggest small town😁
You mean road construction?
Ashville was congested, crowded, over priced and to busy to try to slow down and enjoy the town. Very expensive in town. The outter town is beautiful and you can find all kinds of things to do but it is expensive because tourists. All about money
#11 Traffic

so the list goes on?

Must be good winery’s
No large parks in the city limits.
@@JamesClark-c2m like the ones in big cities?
Should be titled from hospitality to homeless 😮
Check the Greenville, SC area instead. That's a better growing area.
Many people like it!
I spent a few months there, and I found it to be rather claustrophobic. Like i just felt kind of boxed in all the time.
@@rabidgoon bc it’s too small?
@@livinginashevillenc it wasn’t even that. Just the layout of everything. I constantly feel trapped in. I wasn’t used to living in a place where you’re basically in the hills all the time.
@@rabidgoon I can see that
It's true that you need a car to get around.
Yeah sadly most everywhere

@@livinginashevillenc Thanks for the info. I must have been thinking of surrounding towns, which can take a little while to get to and from.
Oh I remember what I was thinking. I was thinking that surrounding forests, like Pisgah, are an hour away. Is that accurate?
