So everyone who knows me, knows that I live bout thirty minutes away from Asheville. As I'm driving through downtown, I see a bumper sticker saying "Don't Move to Asheville". What is this shit?? The past few months I have heard all these, 'Native Asheville' assholes talking about how they're native to the city, how everyone else is a wanna be and the asheville culture has been stolen from them.
All I can think is, "Are you fucking kidding me? Asheville is the melting pot of North Carolina... that's what it's notorious for." As a matter of fact, before Bel-Cher and the tourism boom of the last few decades, Asheville would still be a big pile of Pawn Shops, shoe stores, business centrals and a whole lotta nothin'. Without the 'Immigrants of Asheville,' your city wouldn't be anywhere near successfull. You think your bohemian lifestyle was original to the area? Honestly? The culture was created from the progression of alternative lifestyles, the arts and music community, and to be perfectly honest, the gay community. What exactly do you think happened? That everyone woke up one day and said, "Hey, I think I'm going to be an artist." "I have decided to come out," "I have decided to become a musician." No, you idiots. It was born of people moving from all over America, no, all over the WORLD to the area. I mean cmon, their baseball team is called the Asheville Tourists, not the Asheville Grumpyassnativeswhostillwantthisplacetobeadump. This 'lifestyle' you talk about wasn't yours to claim, it was the love-child of thousands of people who travelled and toured the area. You bitch about the tourism, but guess what, Asheville's entire economy is built on tourism. Quick fact, most of you little Hipster Dweebs weren't even alive before tourism created Asheville what it is today. Grow the hell up and find something else to bitch about. If you don't like what Asheville is today, maybe you should do what everyone who has moved there did.... Leave. Leave your community and go find another one, and be with assholes just like you. Go find an area where you can bitch about how mainstream everything is, how everyone is unorigional, and how everyone is stealing your 'uniqueness'. Go find somewhere to live where everyone is equally as miserable as you are, in other words, move to New Jersey.
LMAO!! Successful? More like too expensive for the people from here to live here. All of you come here from cities where rent is 2k or more a month and then try it here. The median income is much lower, and no one can afford this BS. Homeless problem? Yes, and immigrants from NY, NJ, and Florida have caused it. No one can even rent an apartment anymore because they're all "condos" no they are fucking apartments. Drug problem? Sure, because big city kids keep moving here and brought their big city problems with them. Just wait until the gangs show up because Asheville cops don't give a shit about crack, cocaine, or any other drug. Then you will be crying about having to move as well. But you know what? Not everyone can fucking "move" you know why? Because rent is too fucking high and you must be high yourself to think that people can just pack up and move. You give me the money and I'll be more than happy to move out of Trashville.
