Didn’t realize how many folks have no idea where Asheville and these other underwater towns are.
I’m in Raleigh- 2hrs inland. Asheville is 4hrs west of me, up in the blue ridge mountains. It was unthinkable that a hurricane could wipe out towns this far inland & high up.
One time a realtor was showing us a house and he said “so you should know this HOA has a rule you can’t grow tomatoes”.
I didn’t ask why. I didn’t go into the house & removed houses with HOAs from our search.
HOAs are made up of hall monitors who grew up but couldn’t let go.
