asheville and by extension most mountain towns in NC are frankly a fucking nightmare. asheville especially has this weird dichotomy where half the people are upper echelon trust fund kids in their fake-hippie bullshit phase, and the other half are literal dirt poor white trash that live in shacks and shop exclusively at dollar store and walmart
there's pretty much nothing but shitty boutiques, smoke shops, fast food places, and other similar places to scam college kids out of money - and then the run down hovel-people stores where they shop because they have to.
so unless you're one of those kinds of "people" don't expect to make many friends. just parking in the "wrong" area or going down the "wrong" road around here will literally have shit eating hicks coming outside and driving up to you on an atv with some faggy hunting rifle stuck to the front of it asking you what you're doing "around here" - it's a truly miserable place full of paranoid, greedy, rude, retarded faggots
there's also still a surprising amount of niggers which is kind of the theme anywhere you go in NC
but all in all if you've got the money to actually live somewhere decent in or near asheville and you'd prefer a more "temperate" climate then it's not too bad. asheville would definitely be a lot colder on average but you're still 100% guaranteed to experience dogshit NC summers up there with endless heat and weird cycles of untenable heat followed by sudden cold snaps
