Nothing that has not been going on for decades. New name. Yeah.
Asheville is the Berkeley of North Carolina. |

Why do liberals always infest and destroy the nicest places? The Asheville area is beautiful. Just like California.
A coworker has been talking about retiring there for years. Lately, he's been reconsidering.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Why do liberals always infest and destroy the nicest places? The Asheville area is beautiful. Just like California. Because their lives revolve around their political goals, while at the same time they are still selfish and want nice things for themselves. They justify their selfishness by pushing Leftist (guilt compensating) policies. The more they are selfish and the nicer the things they have are, the more they push those policies. Hence some of the nicest places and richest people are Leftist, because they have been turned into ideologues. I am selfish, too... I like nice things, too.. but I don't feel guilty for having them. And so I don't push the white guilt agenda. |

Funny, not what I was expecting when I read “reparations”.
I’m sure a lot of people are pissed because when they say reparations, they want money or other free stuff. Seems like the city is just calling the same old stuff by another name. Were there any actual details or numbers of new money they plan to “invest” to full fill these “reparations”? |

Not direct reparations but "community investments"
Newsflash idiots, liberal cities have been pumping dumptrucks of money into black communities for years and nothing ever changes. The people, the culture, the attitude need to change before those communities will ever change and improve. |

No numbers yet, at least that I have seen... but I am sure it will be on the backs of the businesses, tourists and homeowners to fund it, so the money can reach the political cronies and the politicians themselves. |

I’ve had at least one kid in diapers for the past 8+ years  and no close family so it makes it hard to go and do anything. The youngest is two so soon she will be old enough to really go and do things.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Asheville is the Berkeley of North Carolina. Around 15% of the population are black, the ironic thing is they push for neighborhood revitalization of the couple of low cost neighborhoods left in the city it will push those residents out. A lot of these are investor owned properties. |

That might technically be over the line in Fletcher. It's close anyway, out by the airport and not close to downtown like others. Family lives there. I said I'd never live there, and wound up out in WA state instead |

Soup sandwich is what it is.
Asheville is a good spot to hit a ton of breweries and try to find your way back to the hotel after way too many pints. Sad the lubs gotta fuck it all up. Last few times we have gone the homeless have gotten worse.. not San Francisco or Portland bad, but noticable. |

While this is not reparations, per se, the important thing here is the time-honored leftist tradition of introducing language and then moving towards their real goals.
They show that this is innocuous and not "really" reparations in the classic sense. But they plant the seed of "reparation = OK". The direct payments will come soon enough because the groundwork will have been laid. |

We have been having a shit ton of backlash against our Confederate monument...and much of it has been orchestrated by one of the commie bar/wineries across the street. Sadly, Morganton is slowly sucking and becoming infested with leftists to a degree. I can say this as a lifelong resident. Ill move when my dad passes. |

I still have a house in AVL i use to work out of until retirement within a few months.
The city has been absolutely overran with young socialist and someone is telling them about all the free shit they will get when we are under the socialist system. Free to low rent housing, green jobs that pay high wages, free child care, free college, universal basic income of at least 1K per month. Its insane. |
