Rich people fleeing the problems they caused seems to be a problem all over
-
My mother was the head of the Avery County N.C. Building Inspection Department and wrote the proposal which became "The Ridge Law" aka the "Mountain Ridge Protection Act" that was passed in 1983. A tiny 95lb 5'2" tall lady (Aleta Daniels-Field) was the driving force behind the law that prohibits any structure over 40' tall being built on the top of any mountain. I'm very proud of her for fighting for the beauty of the mountains we call HOME!!!
-
That condo on the top of the mountain is a disgrace
-
Hitler had a resort in the mountains called the “Eagle’s Nest” what a bad idea to name it that.
-
The local born and raised Appalachian people don't have any problems with outside folks coming in and wanting to live here. The major problem is the people who are coming and buying up property do so because they love the atmosphere and beauty of this place, BUT when they do get here they seem to want to change it to the way it was where they came from. If you ask any locals the majority agree on that.
-
As a Watauga local, it breaks my heart to be forced out of my hometown due to rising costs (coughAppstatecough) and people buying second and third vacation homes. The entitlement of people moving into their 6,000 sq foot homes and demanding local change is astounding. Thanks for highlighting the issues.
-
This is happening everywhere. The rich move into beautiful areas and make it so the locals can no longer afford to live there. The gap between the rich and poor gets bigger every day.
-
Thank you for the Appalachia series. I've enjoyed them. I moved to a nearby county to these people during the vid, but it was a house that was on the market. I've been immersing myself in the community and love everyone around here. Even joined the local volunteer fire department to help give back to the community that has been so welcoming.
-
"Respect the views, the environment, and the people", WELL SAID!!!
-
Im born and raised NC! I live on my familys 220 acre farm and people and businesses are sending offers monthly to buy our land at hardly no cost. Us and All the farmers in the community stand together on keeping this the country side. We stand with yall as well💪🏼. Some of us just want to be left alone and stop dealing with business men and government
-
I live in TN a mile from the NC line. It breaks my heart every time I see a big fancy house on top of the mountain. Also all of the street lights that run 24/7 drives me nuts. I do agree that the cost of things has at least doubled if not tripled since 2020. The outsiders moving in hasn't made any thing better or easier for us.

As a son of a man who grew up in Appalachia (W.Va), this video is amazing and I love her accent! There are some wonderful ppl here. My dad was raised in Bluefield from a small town called Bramwell. It’s always been about community. I know what a holler is lol. I may need to visit. This was emotional for me as my father has passed. What an amazing video
-
This Appalachia series is literally the best
-
I hope Peter gets an award for this documentary. It is so well done.
-
What incredibly well spoken ,informed and articulate commentary from this young lady….she was a pleasure to listen to.
-
Ivy's accent is fabulous! - there are so many links & commonalities between us Scots & the Appalachian people that I'd probably fit in no problem. The friendliness & sense of community is so familiar to me. We also have similar issues with incomers, tourism & house prices so I can fully sympathise with the quandry of balancing jobs & income vs. the way of life being altered.
-
Being originally from Southern Kentucky I could tell people one thing. Some of the nicest and even some of the smartest people I've ever met have lived in broken down trailers and little broken down cabins. Most of them will give you the shirt off their back if you need it. Never ever judge a book by its cover.
-
I love the people who want to protect their land not just because they own it, but by respecting it.
-
As a man from the suburbs of Chicago, seeing this even breaks my heart. I’ve always had a dream of moving to a place like this, but living simple and growing my own food. Why go there and destroy the environment and not become apart of the community. It’s understandable that the locals feel this way.
