Airbnb is killing our city.
Every dot represents a whole house/apartment where people actually lived until they were kicked out to bring in more asshole tourists. There are over 2,700 in Asheville. This is a fundamentally evil industry #avlgov #avlnews

Since I first visited the site in late April, 90 whole home/apartment airbnbs added near Asheville. That means 90 households kicked out or denied housing in just a few months.

#avlgov willingness to ignore/make exceptions to the airbnb ban is a huge part of the problem. In december they relaxed the rules to be even friendlier to airbnbs. Passed 6-1, with both mayor Manheimer and "progressive" challenger @KimboRoney supporting airbnb landlords #avlnews
Airbnb landlords (who own property, often several) will plead that this is the *only way* for them to make ends meet.
In investigating this industry for nearly a decade I've never met one who wasn't just outright lying. They are, to a person, greed-driven scum #avlgov #avlnews
