It’s all about the general culture. Leaders make the culture and Democrat leaders tend to make it bad.

It’s a college town, so it was bound to be destroyed by Democrats sooner or later.

Wait until we have years of this high inflation rippling through the economy and unemployment hits 20%. Crime will really be through the roof, aided and abetted by the horrendous and utterly ridiculous Dem “defund” policies.

I spent a week in Asheville doing an IT Conversion a number of years ago, it was picturesque small city that was home to some great craft beer breweries, it’s terrible what is happening there.

Tucker Carlson talked about Asheville last night, he mentioned the current mayor ran on a platform of climate change and equity, which totally insane.

Even if you believe in Climate change, how much impact could a mayor of a city of 90,000 people in the middle of the mountains of eastern NC possible to affect the climate.

I remember being at a party 20 years ago down in LA. A couple was talking about moving to Ashville and I knew they were liberals but didn’t put 2 and 2 together. Now I see that that dumbchit liberals succeeded in destroying that town.

I follow a YouTuber named Patrick Conley who lives in the outskirts of Ashville, so that’s my perception of it. The guy is a recorder of various known black bears which visit his porch and “share” his birdfeeder contents with their offspring. I cannot believe that Pat is a leftist.

The bears love him.

I spent 6 years in Asheville. At the time it was a mix of very conservative people and very liberal hippy types.

My in-laws still live in a suburb of Asheville. They are overrun with bears. People set their car alarms off before they come out of the house to hopefully scare the bears away. But the bears have gotten where they ignore car alarms blaring.

They shared a video they took from their living room of a bear chasing a young lady up the street.

I did a travel assignment there 8 or 9 years ago, although I stayed in nearby Black Mountain.

Couldn’t happen to a more deserving hive of smug, self important leftists. Biltmore Antifa!! Lol!

“It’s all about the general culture.”

Of course it is. In our city the decay has been around ever since the 1930’s, no actually for about 120 years.

People have been thinking they will turn things around. Things will get better, “we’ll spend more money and the place will be nice” they say.

Well, here we are, over a century later and nothing’s changed. Build a neighborhood and 10-70 years later, depending on the location, it collapses and becomes a ghetto. Then the ghetto empties out, houses torn down and nothing’s left.

Build further out, then that one collapses and becomes a ghetto. Then it has to be torn down and nothing’s left.

Go out to the next city, build a neighborhood and it collapses and becomes a ghetto. Then it has to be torn down and nothing’s left.

But people never seem to learn. Soon the entire country will be like the city I live in.
