Landslide in western North Carolina

Recommended Posts

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.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
