I don't blame you for having some of that envy, I do too when it comes to Asheville. Their downtown is very walkable and has tons of unique local shops, bars, restaurants, breweries, art galleries, etc. I too would like to have those things in a large area of our downtown but indeed maybe with less of the hippy dippy vibe.
You can walk from the Warehouse District in Raleigh to Mellow Mushroom on Peace and get all the bars, breweries, galleries, restaurants, and hippy dippy vibe you want, lol.

Huh? You live in Houston, right? And you visited The Triangle just last month and seemed pretty impressed, bruh.
I mean...they have potential sure! But they always squander it
Who decided to build a smoke shop? That is not what you need. Why don't they improve roads and walkways so people aren't like hermits on the roads? Things like this. Yea there's potential, nice few hotels but easily can squander, you need LEADERSHIPPPPPPP!

I think Asheville is walkable in some areas where tourists are but there are some places in Asheville that are definitely less so (similar to Raleigh).

Yes, and OP is ignoring the main part -- you can walk around somewhat comfortably in Asheville in summer. It's still not terribly hot or humid. Try doing that here in the Triangle. I see people enjoying themselves in Spring and Fall, and even in Winter, not so much in Summer. People seem to hibernate in Summer. I remember my first winter here, popular places in Durham used to be pretty packed on weekends in December/January.
