Been homeless past four months in Asheville. Does Asheville have a homeless problem? Yes. Less homeless means less crime. Doubt that will happen. Continue to step around. Capital of WNC has problems.
Moving out of this mess in 30 days. Y’all can have it. Going somewhere clean and quiet.
By the way, I’m a college grad. Got a brain. Saving money for a down payment. So, later. You can have this. Doubt it will change. I’m outta here.
City has a ton of problems. I ain’t gonna be involved. I’ll visit, spend tax dollars. That’ll keep you happy. Bummer on that. Way it is. Taxes not spent on real issues.
— Craig Sparks Asheville

I care deeply about the health and safety of all area citizens and would like to know more about the letter writer and his circumstances. I’m okay with sentence fragments.

Decades of NO leadership and especially NOW with this cadre’ of womyn who have NO clue about running ANYTHING much less a city. EVIL controls us.

I see. Asheville is the Capitol of WNC. Makes sense.
Bye Craig. We’ll sure miss you. California is nice if you want to float–
