I just got up here to the WNC Hills for Thanksgiving and the anti-growth movement is ever present in the resort towns of the mountains, like Cashiers:

“Our duty is to look at all the things presented,” Sullivan said. “Even though I wish we had more power or authority for Cashiers, we don’t. There’s going to be huge growth over the next few years. If we don’t have control of it, we’ll end up with outlet malls. We are trying to create a nice, downtown atmosphere.”
