Last night video of Dave Chapelle angrily announcing at a Yellow Springs City Council meeting that he would withdraw his pledge of $56 million was posted on social media along with claims that Dave did NOT want affordable housing in his neighborhood.
Dave Chappelle personally came to a city council meeting and threatened to remove his $65m dollars of investments from his city if they allowed a developer to move forward with an affordable housing program. The objection wasn't to the build, but the affordable housing component. https://t.co/3ahCy1KqmN pic.twitter.com/l8MTxhhlJ7

Dave Chapelle explains the REAL reason for his threat.
'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's publicist said in a statement.
At issue is a significant new $39 million housing development that has divided the village - but far from being an affordable housing plan, Chappelle says only three lots out of 143 are devoted to 'future' affordable housing.
Chappelle, who is worth an estimated $50 million, lives on the outskirts of Yellow Springs on a 39-acre farm in a three-bedroom home which he bought for $690,000 in 2015. His property is right next to the proposed development.
