I live in Asheville, born and raised...its a damn shame what they have done in the north end and development on the south side of town.

I forget if it was last summer or the summer before we had a lot of rain and some old folks got trapped on Reynolds Mountain because of land slides.....

I actualy did a college project on a very high end home development call "The Cliffs". Because sustainability and being Green is so big in construction right now, i focused specifically on that.

They do a lot of stuff to prevent erosion with specific types of grass, all the surveying work the do usually puts the homes in safe areas. It wasn't all PR fluff either.

But keep in mind this was in a very exclusive developement though. My home I concentrated on was some CIA/Homeland Security dude who had an elevator and a putting green put in, hah.

I framed homes while going to school in Asheville, and helped build a house in The Cliffs. There are some really amazing homes up that way.

It's just like any other boom area though, you have great contractors and contractors that cut every corner in the book.

Look at greater Charlotte for instance. The old homes are much, much more sturdy in a possible hurricane than many of the new ones.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
