Comedian Dave Chappelle found himself in hot water once again Monday night after he was seen opposing an affordable housing project in Yellow Springs, Ohio.
Chappelle, 48, addressed the town council and threatened to pull his money from the community if they approved plans to develop 53 acres of residential housing.
The town voted on the plan Wednesday after the council meeting, where the public was invited to comment on the proposal.
Now, Chappelle is clearing things up. His reps didn’t respond to The Post’s request for comment, but in a statement to Fox News, his spokeswoman Carla Sims said the plan itself needed improvements.

“Affordable housing” is the hood, the projects, the slums, whatever you want to call it. Democrats want people to be miserable. It keeps them on the plantation.
What is claps back? Some kind of getto ebonics talk?
It’s a “social media” term more than a negro term.

Calm down. Dave is one of the rational thinkers. He’s no ghetto moron.
“Affordable Housing” is woke, debt-fed, bloated government political and social-engineering in its worst form.
YES. It should be opposed.

Good for Dave...he certainly as guts.
Dave Chappelle has what is known in the industry as “FU money”. He can do whatever he wants.
Possibly fluent by injection.
Really?
Sounds to me he was a concerned citizen who peacefully jumped through all the necessary hoops to express his concerns to the elected officials that work for him and everyone else who lives there.
Often builders will put out that something is affordable housing. Not mentioning that small town housing is often less expensive than the affordable housing they are trying to build. A little town does not need affordable housing. It has all the affordable housing it needs. What it needs is new housing that does not overwhelm the infrastructure that exists. Usually this means single family homes or duplexes. If builders want to build low cost homes, they should build the enhanced infrastructure, roads, sewers, schools, parks and water that is needed to support the large housing project. Otherwise these new low coast housing projects will die because of the increased taxes.
I think they’re saying that social media people give each other the clap.
Or —something like that…
Yellow Springs is famous for Antioch College, a full blown hippie stronghold of dubious academic achievement. I suppose the town is governed by people of similar sentiment.
Oh Stewardess I speak Jive
I think it’s more of a “you go girl” thing
Dave’s father was a professor and Dean of Students at Antioch. That’s why Dave is in Yellow Springs.
“the public was invited to comment on the proposal”.
Where their concerns will (promptly) be ignored in the order in which they were received. Agenda 21, meet Agenda 2030. They’ve destroyed the cities where they envisioned we’d all live in peace, and harmony. Now, knowing that everyone wants out of the urban “utopias”, they’re attempting to do the same to the suburbs/countrysides.
“ Yellow Springs is famous for Antioch College, a full blown hippie stronghold of dubious academic achievement. I suppose the town is governed by people of similar sentiment.”
Yep, it’s right up the road from me. Completely nuts. During Covid it became even nuttier, fascist.
Rod Serling, famous for the “Twilight Zone” TV series, spent time as a student and a professor at Antioch College.
