Thanks for reading through to the end…

Xpress needs help, too. We hope you’ll consider signing up to be a member of Xpress. For as little as $5 a month — the cost of a craft beer or kombucha — you can help keep local journalism strong. It only takes a moment.
Before you comment
The comments section is here to provide a platform for civil dialogue on the issues we face together as a local community. Xpress is committed to offering this platform for all voices, but when the tone of the discussion gets nasty or strays off topic, we believe many people choose not to participate. Xpress editors are determined to moderate comments to ensure a constructive interchange is maintained. All comments judged not to be in keeping with the spirit of civil discourse will be removed and repeat violators will be banned. See here for our terms of service. Thank you for being part of this effort to promote respectful discussion.
Darn that tuberculosis anyway.
Irony is that Wolf’s house was a form of an AirBnB in its day. Which of course if today’s policies were in place, would’ve never been allowed. But then again, people were free as opposed to today where progressive is another term for government central control. That only works as long as people can still afford it. Once they can’t though, they become criminals in order to survive. And those in Asheville who are running “illegal” AirBnbs are breaking the “law” lulz. A law imposed by a bunch of 1 percenter windbags and corrupt government cronies in the pockets of corporations afraid of competition lulz.
Hey, here’s a book you’ll like:

I got a better one. It’s called leftist loons who use the term progress for control. And how they drove everyone into poverty.
Not everyone, not themselves, just most people. goood one Lulz.
Good ‘tude again lulz. Break that North Asheville Liberal zoner Elite!
“But then again, people were free”
Well, no, though by “people” you obviously mean “white people, especially white property owners” because that’s what you always mean by “people.”
And I’d suggest you actually read Look Homeward, Angel, but you won’t.
The Euclid decision brought zoning in, I think, 1926. Pretty close to that time. Neighborhoods built before then, without zoning, are far more walkable and therefore less energy intensive.
