You will get numerous types of feedback and would say it depends more upon your own preferences. Asheville proper is quite liberal and accepting of folks from all walks of life. Many move there for that very reason and for those less flexible shall we say you'll hear about the horrors involved otherwise. While not a resident I find the people largely nice, considerate and pretty welcoming from my dozen or so visits the past few years. Some may go on about the traffic but find that's more a case of what you're used to. Asheville's "awful" traffic is a laugher for most from large cities, and about equal perhaps due to tourism's impact like that of a city with 250K-300K in population. Rush hour is about that (an hour) in 99% of instances in my opinion. I find the climate more moderate relative to it's location in the Southeast US, and while humid in the summer for some nowhere near the gates of hell-like levels seen elsewhere. Winters aren't heavy either with a snow or two with a bit of ice here/there. Springs and Falls are spectacular!
