I am from Russia, Western Siberia to be exact (no, it’s not that bad ). My husband and I lived in Asheville since 2004 and absolutely love it here! In 2015 we became parents to a baby boy, Dmitry (named after my grandfather). And in January 2020 Dmitry became a big brother to Katya. We now share our home with Romeo, who is a jack russell (We lost our first dog in 2022).

What did I miss?
@@t-ravisaurusrex6139 sorry if you’re having a bad day
You can't have it all anywhere. You just have to prioritize what you want most.
Exactly
#truth. Great video!
Thank you!
Great video, Elena, as always! Keep it up!
Thank you 🙏
Patchouli = code word for weed! Downtown Asheville (and west Asheville) smells like weed! Not necessarily a bad thing though, just a reality! 😄
Not always lol.
Thank you for speaking about medical care. I have been reading all of the melodramas surrounding HCA and Mission Hospital and it is worrisome. We are building there and I am going to guess for certain specialists that I like I might just have to count on traveling. Maybe once Advent Health builds the hospital in Weaverville the competition will help? Thanks again for your amazing videos.
There’s already an advent health in Fletcher, just nothing north of Asheville.
It would be great to have more for sure!
At 7:10 you said everyone coexists just fine? no they don't. Go into places like Weaverville, Leicester, and Candler and ask people what they think of Asheville politically and on real estate and it won't be a glowing view. Election year I'm expecting to see vandalized yard signs again. Asheville is comprised mostly of transplants who dislike the southern population and vice versa.
Sure not 100% of population co exists just fine, but most do. And the proof is in many of my clients’ stories who relocated to those smaller towns around Asheville from big, more progressive, liberally inclined cities.
Fee bad apples “scream” the loudest and are seen in amplified media more.
@@livinginashevillenc Unfortunately for those clients though it's white flight that progresses into culture shock. They don't brush up on the state laws and harp on their laws back home. They realize a densely white community is too quiet and peaceful and they jones for it to remind them of the city they formerly lived in. It's a waste and impacts a lot of people for them to move to the outskirts to "supposedly" flee from the failures of their liberal mayors.
I have to agree with you 100% on that perspective. Liberals flee their area due to politics but can't settle down and realize why it's so different in the exurbs and rural areas. Then they seem hellbent on turning the peaceful towns they moved into the garbage dumps they created and then left. They're nomadic trash is what they are.
Could you do a video of the local favorite spots that are no longer? Like Picnic's on Merrimon that is now HomeGrown (I think) or Spirits on the River. Inspo video: czcams.com/video/AiVmbCJWAtU/video.htmlsi=EHfoayVejJRO8FY0
I did a few years back! czcams.com/video/kG34biSGZh0/video.htmlsi=gSnI7CQjdG6SDBzr
It's actually a great little city to live in & I've lived in a few from NY to Honolulu. You have to find the niche, the schools best for you & spend some time understanding (not judging) the culture.
I can’t agree with you more❤
@@t-ravisaurusrex6139 I think that's a technical issue. I've only lived in the area for 5 years, but my ancestors lived there for 200 years. They owned a great deal of farmland that is now AVL. They took the land from Indigenous people. The lady that started this channel has lived in the area for many years ~ her thoughts are useful and valuable.
Not able to avoid? Come on now! We don't have this issue in Hendersonville, Mills River, Black Mountain, Fairview, Flat Rock, lake Lure, and the list goes on. We are literally talking about towns and cities 20- 40 minutes outside Ashville City limits and some ever share the same county.
Asheville proudly invited everyone with open arms, publicly. Asheville has the most hand outs in all of North Carolina.
People will spend an entire week in Asheville then take a day trip to Hendersonville and become floored from the night and day different. They don't even believe it's the same state.
Coming from someone who posted a video of their child's bike being stolen by a drug addict off her front porch, this is wildly inaccurate for you to post. The good news is when people come to visit, they find out for themselves real quick.
🤦🏻♀️
Other “cities” around Asheville do not spend millions of $$ advertising themselves and putting themselves on all kinds of lists so that tourists can come and spend their money there.
And other towns around Asheville DO have this issue as well. Not as much as Asheville does, but it’s there.
Who did Hendersonville residents sign petition against so the day center won’t be opened there?? That’s right- homeless people.
@@livinginashevillenc As a resident of Hendersonville for 17 years after leaving Detroit, Michigan ( I'm no stranger to crime and terrible politics) I can proudly say YES, we shutdown the idea of placing an outreach center for the homeless in the outskirts of Hendersonville. We wanted nothing to do with the idea and used Asheville as our reason why. Infact, we compiled all the data from Asheville and even used the freedom of information act to look up how many 911 calls and reports were made in just 1 years time from Ahope. This was enough for our council to stop the idea dead in it's tracks.
For those who don't know, Asheville came up with the brilliant idea to place all their outreach services in the heart of the downtown district, RAD, and West Asheville instead of on the outskirts of town like the building that was in question in Hendersonville. Because of this, you now have a problem you can't fix in Asheville and the town is ruined. Hendersonville does not have this issue in the slightest, nor do we allow outsiders who are homeless to come into our town for resources. Infact, the overwhelming majority of our homeless population are actually born and raised residents of Hendersonville. This is not the case in Asheville. Not by a long shot.
Ahope and the city of Asheville have spent endless dollars on data to know where these people are from and it's public record. Over 70% of the homeless population in Asheville are not from Asheville. These people will tell you without hesitation they are not from there and came for the resources and relaxed laws. Because Hendersonville does inforce laws and the residents don't want the city to replicate Asheville, we limit out resources to actual residents and this drives our homeless population to Asheville!
Hendersonville does have a small homeless community ( obviously every thriving city does ), except when you visit Hendersonville, you will never see them. Why? Because we enforce laws here as stated above. Absolutely no pan handling in city limits ( you will NEVER see this in Hendersonville) along with laws against camping in tents in city limits and the list goes on. I invite everyone to visit Hendersonville and compare personally. I also suggest visiting the Henderson County sheriff's office in person and ask them the difference between crime and homelessness in downtown Hendersonville compared to downtown Asheville. You will be greeted immediately with laughter. Not only is the jail, courthouse, and sheriff's department fully staffed and run properly by sheriff Griffin, but it's located in our downtown district, so absolutely nothing is tolerated in Hendersonville. Junkie's don't line the streets, shops don't fear they will be robbed, tourists never feel unsafe, and local CZcamsrs who run real estate channels don't post ring cam videos of drug addicts stealing their child's bike right of their front porch and tell people it's normal behavior in Hendersonville.
This woman is the very reason Asheville is the way it is today. The residents not only allow the issues, but they defend them and when anyone calls them out they act like you're stupid. The notion that " crime is in every city " is not relivent in this conversation. Asheville has the highest crime rates in WNC along with homeless and active addicts. It has little to do with population and everything to do with lawlessness encouraged by residents and politicians. Take a look at federal and local funding, nonprofit, and rehab centers and you will immediately understand why Asheville has problems. When you welcome people to your community that can't add value, this is what happens. Non of this is a secret. People with common sense see this immediately. The difference between the two cities is night and day.
Hendersonville is now the new Asheville minis all the nonsense. We offer better community with older values and common sense, yet our city counsel and politicians are just as diverse except we don't print that on a T-shirt and call people the devil if they take issue with it.
Hotels don't run our City, the people do. We voice our concerns and they actually listen to us. To drive this point home, we said absolutely not to an outreach center that would incentivize non residents from Hendersonville to come into our city and set up shop. Infact, I'm please and delighted with her response above as it highlights the difference between Asheville and Henderson residence.
Another great point she makes is how Hendersonville can afford to listen to their residents unlike Asheville because we aren't spending millions of dollars a year dedicated to tourism. Our money is spent on us for the most part, yet we having a thriving tourism population. We also host different events such as the apple festival yearly and we don't charge for entry. Asheville now charges for most festivals just to attend. Honestly, I could write a book about how bad Asheville is, why people with common sense avoid the area, and more importantly why the issues the City faces didn't exist 40 years ago. What matters is you have her painting a completely different picture of what goes on in Asheville. As to say, hey...these problems are everywhere, but as you've read they clearly aren't.
Use the freedom of information act. Visit local law enforcement. Talk to people who were actually born and raised in Asheville. It's not possible to hide the truth. Feel free to come visit Hendersonville for yourself, but if you don't have money you won't be overstaying your welcome. You'll have to visit Asheville for that!
@@matthewc2810 And that is exactly how Hendersonville is going to able to "avoid" this. No need to read between the lines.
@@livinginashevillenc lol. It's amazing how people act as if it's a bad thing to not want unnecessary problems in their life. I work for my family, not yours. I pay my taxes. I deserve a safe, clean community where I can focus on ME.
The American dream hasn't been killed in Hendersonville. Come check it out, guys!
@@matthewc2810 Listen, you're barking up a wrong tree. I'm not disagreeing with what you said, I'm just explaining why I chose the words I chose.
It's difficult to relax on a hike with your kids because of the very large bear population.
Hmm…I can see that. It never stops us🤷🏻♀️
