Chappelle said he was"not bluffing" about pulling his businesses in Yellow Springs, Ohio, if the city council passed a proposal for more affordable housing.
“Affordable Housing”!?! What’s affordable about $300,000.00 homes?
Before you get your pitchforks ready this should be investigated. Headlines are not news.
So DaveChappelle said screw people that aren’t well off financially. Wow! I will not support his career again. Shameful
I guess the hard working people are not good enough for Chappelle neighborhood. Maybe we should camp out infront of his house.
So, he is against people having affordable housing? Wouldn’t that make him a Trump Supporter?
Why would you want to give affordable housing to people who bought your tickets, watched your specials , watched your shows and put millions into your pocket? Please tell me.
Yello Springs doesn’t need to be blighted with another minimcmansion trac housing neighborhood. It doesn’t need a strip mall and a Walmart either. It’s a unique place and boorish yuppies can live elsewhere. These aren’t homes for the poor and underprivileged. Save Yellow Springs!
Chappelle the Oligarch
This sounds like something AnaKasparian would be interested in talking about.
What do you think would happen if public housing becomes a liability when the resources needed to support it exceed local taxes and federal subsidies coming in?
Sad.
There goes the neighborhood
Is Dave Chappelle a N.I.M.B.Y?
Wow!!
Sorry folks but affordable housing is needed in every city and town. The people who serve you food cook you food, work in your grocery stores keep your city neat and clean the people who cut your hair and the people who educate your children don’t make huge salaries. They need it
You all act like everyone but Chappelle was on board. And looking at it from his pov why encourage something that will tank the value of his property? Affordable housing likely means cheap apartments for section 8 housing.
But not bluffing about being a dickhead.
Good for him for holding a tiny town hostage. They want single family homes, he wants affordable housing. He pays the brunt of the taxes he should make the call how his money is being spent. He has brought jobs and money to that town and they owe him that
I mean damn. What's the reason why? Is it being built on protected land? If that's not the reason this really looks ugly for you DaveChappelle
Talk about arrogance and selfishness
The story is so missing info. Like not saying WHY he would be against this housing?
Man he keeps just shooting himself in the foot huh?
He acts like such a moral guy but this puts him right into the category of Rich Man Who Doesn’t Give A Shit About Poor People. I’m done with you forever, DaveChappelle
Apparently, Yellow Springs needs more comedians than affordable housing—another proof that money is colorblind!
Call Chappelle’s bluff then.
Do anyone read the actual concerns or did they just see the headline and get their pitchforks out
Oh that Dave Chappelle! I’d love to catch his show there now that affordable housing’s off the table. 2-2?
Bonjour Bonjour de France Bonjour des amis Bonjour toutes les pays du monde
Fukk OH then whatever Nina turner should be in office and lebron James should be governor
Not in my backyard. Only houses starting at $300,000 welcomed in Dave’s world. Assimilation HomeAffordable Delawareblack nbgnetwork
WOW. Just...WOW.
So he's a racist?
This is a real mess. Can’t believe DaveChappelle being this way.
This is where Dave & I part ways. The cla$$ divide is not racist - just greedy, selfish and cruel.
City council voted 2-2 against their own resolution after Chappelle said it would adversely affect his investment. Two people must be very proud to keep that one constituent happy while keeping affordable housing out.
