Love Is the Answer—Let’s Take Asheville Back

From the roar of electric engines to the quiet hum of shared hearts, this image is more than a photo—it’s a rallying cry. A Tesla sparkles at the Whole Foods station in East Asheville, emblazoned with the words Love is the Answer—a statement, a challenge, a movement.

Asheville, born from country grit and flower-child soul, is facing a crossroads. Division and blame threaten to fracture the lucky few who still believe in community. We’ve let differences become battlegrounds. Tribalism, fear, and self-righteousness have crept in—turning neighbor against neighbor. That ends now.

True community love means:

Learning to love yourself first—so you can genuinely extend love to others.
Embracing neighbors—even when you disagree.
Building up, not tearing down. No trauma bonding, echo chambers, or low-level rallying. That’s childish. That’s elementary. That’s not Asheville.

If you want hate, move to Haterville—Asheville doesn’t want you. We’re reclaiming our roots and forging a future rooted in grace, stability, and unity. Throw down your swords. End your movements. Choose love. We, the people, must carry it forward.
