My guess is his reasons were clear to the board.

I lived in NH at one time. Their zoning rules were practically non existent. I used to have to go to the meetings because I was involved with extending utility plant through new areas.

When there were meetings on projects, the people speaking would talk as if everyone knew the issues.

It was like opening a 500 page book to page 300 and start reading. My guess is that if the author had looked into it just a little…they could identify the issue.

“Legendary?” Now Chappelle is funny, but he’s nowhere near the league of Murphy, Pryor, and Foxx. Or Dangerfield, Seinfeld, and Carlin.

True, but he's pretty much the only modern comedian that can make me laugh. Even if I don't agree with him on everything.

He used threat of pulling his projects out instead of stating his reason at the meeting.

Money talks. You can make the greatest case possible, but unless money is involved, nobody will listen.

Your point is well taken it did go through the mind of a “reporter” before we read it.

The reason was reported to the reporter by a friend.

Carlin and Bill Hicks both were raging liberals, but could at least make me laugh, and I put Chappelle in that same boat.

The development was neither all lower income housing, nor is it all upscale single homes, it was to be a combination of both:

As a side note, Yellow Springs is not rural by a long shot, and Greene county does have transportation available in the form of a small bus line.

Never heard of bill hicks. Carlin, toward the end, always came across as a disillusioned, bitter old man.

Chappelle is just a dirt bag. I'm not entertained by the filth from the ghetto or any of its spawn.

"...he's pretty much the only modern comedian that can make me laugh".

Chappelle:

"...but you know what REALLY terrifies me?

White people"!

LOL!

“DryBar”

I’ve tried to clean up what I watch but when I was younger, I wasn’t too discerning. Actually attended a couple of Sam Kinison shows.

Of all people, Cosby used to complain about comics not being able to work clean.

Cosby was right. A clean comedian has to really work for his laughs. Cannot rely on the vulgarity as being enough.
