The Business Improvement District – which was supposed to provide basic city services for a dog-head-shaped portion of downtown Asheville, through taxing powers of an unelected board – has decided to go “dormant.” Presumably two tax hikes in one year was not sitting well, and the city is deciding it should use some of its extant revenues to deal with sanitation, graffiti, and aggressive panhandling. On the downside, the dormancy may only mean the little caterpillar is planning a stealth revival as Mothra when its host of opponents have let their guard down. From now until then, supporters will be “raising awareness,” which fortunately translates to diddly-squatting.
