I don’t know why everyone wonders why this permanent A+ list comic said what he said at a recent public event.

Has he ever told you he believes otherwise or done something that would indicate otherwise?

No.

Dave Chappelle

Dave Chappelle spoke out against affordable housing plan in his community

(CNN)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.

In a statement to CNN on Thursday, Chappelle’s publicist, Carla Sims, wrote “Dave Chappelle didn’t kill affordable housing. Concerned residents and a responding Village Council ‘killed’ a half-baked plan which never actually offered affordable housing.”

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.

“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.” – Source
