The problem with this is yes its in fact a pipe dream, a very misleading dream. The article talks of how quaint and remarkable, with of course mentions the gut wrenching "Progressive" title.
Ok here are a few facts . . . .
Haywood road is a decent area, decent, not this orgasmic land of bliss and perfect harmony that its painted by some. It has its charms most of which are run of the mill restaurants and trendy eateries. But beyond this Colony there is an evil side, a very dark and sinister side. 28806 is considered by most to be West Asheville, well in this area code there are no less then 3 section 8 projects that are notorious for crime activity. The types of crime are, prostitution, drugs, robberies, assaults, and various other minor crimes. Yes this does spill out into the other streets and neighborhoods in the 28806 area code so no, the Colony doesn't represent this area fairly, nor accurately. There is a reason why the "locals" call this area "Worst Asheville", and by locals I mean the folks that have lived here all their life and call this place home, not "Paris of the South".
This area also has a business that is notorious for violating alcohol laws as well as drug laws, plus to boot someone was shot in the face on the premises. This area also claims a good bit of the river where bodies are found, and found often. Places in this area that we have not mentioned you do not go into at night, or during the day.
