It is hard to convey to people - especially those outside the area - how bad things are in Asheville/WNC. Helene was devastating. Crisis that's followed, caused by governments and gentry, may end up even worse. Evictions are ramping up, airbnb barons keeping thousands of homes empty and aid paltry.

The Asheville area is in a dire crisis. Evictions churn forward, frigid temperatures arrive and thousands of locals are still displaced/out of work due to Helene. But never fear: city hall has, in a stunning display of generosity, found an additional $250,000 for rental assistance. 🧵 #avlnews
