You do not take a historic building and gut it for corporate profit that benefits nothing, and no one, in Asheville. It's a museum unto itself. There is no *parking* for this proposed hotel. I had breakfast with my kids this past Sunday a half block from there, Pack and Wall st parking garages were full at 10AM. I didn't try Rankin, instead parked in Montford and walked in. Now toss a hotel into that off-peak tourist season dynamic. It's stupid.

Asheville needs another hotel like a hole in the head. What we actually need is affordable housing for residents

Downtown asheville has done enough pandering to tourists. Leave something for them to come and see please. Keep us unique.

Keep Flat Iron office/work spaces! We creatives need somewhere to work to make stuff so all the tourists will think Asheville is cool!

Asheville is supposed to be a “ Small Business Town” so why on earth would anyone vote to turn this lovely business into “one more hotel”?? Downtown Asheville is not the home of “ Hotel City” it is where small business owners call their livelihoods “Home”!

The building and its shops are an iconic part of Asheville.

The hotel takeover of downtown is out of control and disrupting the opportunity for other businesses to flourish. Forcing these businesses out of their homes and into the market that is already aggressively difficult for small businesses to survive in is criminal. Have some pride in your city and support those who live here.

Such a wonderful historic building with a rich history of small businesses and artists. If the owner can’t afford to keep it and fix it, he can sell it! We don’t need more hotels! When does the quality of life of citizens start to matter more than new hotels???

Already have almost 8500 hotel rooms here. How much is enough?

What a nightmare chapter that would be for our once sweet southern town.

I say we keep office space- and work on AFFORDABLE housing rather additional hotel rooms-

Please save this lively historic building without contributing to more hotel rooms and traffic. Serve the people of AVL.
