X refugee. '24 election made me leave for good. Here to bring awareness to my town after Helene, and chat with the like-minded. Animals are my true love.

No offense to the other cities you visited & glad you had a great time, but re Asheville: it does have a way of getting into peoples' heads & hearts. After having that happen for awhile, we moved here several years ago & have never looked back. Surprisingly several outstanding Indian restaurants!

Thank you to Asheville planning and zoning commission & city staff too. Last night, the commission not only approved eliminating single-family-only zoning, but also sent a strong message for Asheville to explore reforming its minimum lot sizes.

Text reads: “Thank You to Asheville Planning and Zoning Commission.” Below that is a map of Asheville showing which residential neighborhoods don’t allow duplexes. The Asheville For All logo sits in the bottom corner.

Unchecked tourism burdens our infrastructure, extracts resources, and displaces residents. I fight to protect Asheville by diversifying beyond tourism for a more balanced economy. I protected the Grey Eagle from the hotel overlay map and voted to fund growth of local manufacturing jobs.

A major investment in future, well-paying jobs for Asheville & Buncombe County, diversifying the local economy away from agriculture, tourism & healthcare not by reducing jobs in those fields (which are all important to the local economy), but by adding net new jobs in advanced manufacturing.

The panel found “substantial reason” to believe that #ChuckEdwards's behavior toward two young staffers violated House rules related to sexual harassment and a hostile workplace. One woman was 19; the other was in her early 20s. (Gift article) @asheville.bsky.social www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
