Dave Chappelle says he'll pull his $$$ from town if affordable housing is built near him

A plan for an affordable housing portion of a new development in Yellow Springs, Ohio has reportedly been scrapped after comedian Dave Chappelle added his voice to those opposing it.
According to the Dayton Daily News, a plan for Oberer Homes can move forward, but without the affordable housing that originally had been planned as part of a development of single family homes, townhomes and duplexes to be built on a 53-acre area at the south edge of town.
The publication said the village had been working with Oberer on the development.
Chappelle, who plans to open a restaurant and a comedy club in the area under his company Iron Table Holdings LLC, was one of several who spoke out Monday during a village council meeting about the project.
As seen on a video posted to the Yellow Springs Community Access YouTube page, Chapelle questioned why the council would support the housing plan "while it kicks out a $65 million-a-year company."
"I cannot believe you would make me audition for you," Chappelle said. "You look like clowns. I am not bluffing. I will take it all off the table."
In January, the Yellow Springs News reported that Chappelle, who lives near the planned development, said during a council meeting that he was "adamantly opposed" to the proposal that would add "140 mixed-income level homes to the village."

Why is Dave so racist not wanting to help lower income black people?

I mean, Dave lives in a nice and very rural town. I’d say the same if they did this in Oxford.

Dave lives in the middle of 39 acres. He is pissed because the edge of this development would back up to his property.

Rightfully so. Keep those section 8 housing developments where they belong: In crowded areas. Stop exporting the poverty. Keep it where it started and fix it

I'm not sure of the gotcha here. Chappelle has never been in favor of something like this.

I agree but remember Trump warned us they were going to do this crap to destroy neighborhoods. Obama started it, Trump rolled it back, but it's back on their agenda.

This sounds like a sane thing to get upset about. I think most people would.

He already came out and said the affordable housing part was fake. All the houses range from 200-600k. He oppose the whole project

It's extremely common for developers to say they're planning to include affordable housing in their developments, and it almost always never comes to fruition.
It's their way of earning goodwill from city councils to move projects forward, and the plans usually "change" down the line.

It's not section 8 housing.
Just "affordable" housing.
Article said the cheapest homes would be condos starting at 200k, houses would cost far more.
