Pretty much. I'm assuming what they meant to say was, "First I saw some hipsters and then I saw some dirty hippies! I hate both of them so much!"
However, if you spend some more time in Asheville it quickly becomes obvious that you're not getting a good value for your money. Sort of like those old commercials where the guy comes in expecting a nice steak dinner only to have the dish with two artsy bites and a high price tag placed in front of him.
Perhaps if you're limiting your time to just downtown, but there's more than enough in the larger area to make it worth your while IMO.
Both are nice cities, but there is no contest in natural beauty/setting category. Asheville is tops in that one.
It depends if someone is looking for a smaller or medium-sized city. For a smaller city Asheville definitely punches above it's weight, but so does Richmond for a medium-sized city.
Richmond for me. I haven't been to Asheville but I know Richmond has more stuff to do plus it's closer to bigger cities in the northeast. I would love to explore Asheville someday!
