DL Hughley on Dave Chappelle Allegedly Blocking Affordable Housing Plan (Part 17)

[@bdoug87]

He turned down the entire development proposal BECAUSE the affordable housing component was a Trojan Horse / bait and switch situation. Respect to Chappelle!

This isn’t about being worth $100s of millions of dollars.

Dave is for TRUE affordable housing and against gentrification. The only people that could afford those homes at the price point they were being offered were people who don’t live there.

@@rachelderenoncourt3881 BINGO!

[@treedillinger5801]

What happens a lot is that state or local laws require a certain % of low income housing in each town, so when these new developments come in they’re required to set aside some townhouses or apartments and rent them lower than market rate, in order for the town to fulfill it’s requirement without going out of its way to build low income housing. The units look identical to the surrounding ones that get sold or rented for full market value so they’re not what people typically think of when they hear the phrase “low income housing”. It’s a legal loophole more than anything. But the fact that a handful of units would be set aside for that purpose is purely incidental and not relevant to Dave’s objection to the project. From his explanation, his biggest issue was that they’re using his name to sell the project- basically telling people they’ll be Dave Chappelle’s neighbors. There is also the point that the project isn’t inline with the character of the neighborhood in terms of design, architectural styles etc.

So Dave wants this "ideal setting" where he dosnt want "cookie cutter homes" however he does want projects in his backyard and was upset they weren't building enough projects in his backyard so he threatened to pull out all his investments in the town??....

[@dinkyboss]

The $300K homes weren’t the affordable housing. They were to build affordable housing as well. Also who cares what he doesn’t want? It’s like he thinks because he goes to a small town and has the most money he can bully people around to do things the way he wants to do it. I find it very telling that no one else from that community was against the project. He wasn’t speaking up for poor people. He, like most obscenely wealthy people, just don’t want poor people in their space.

Dave Chappelle has had ties to Yellow Springs, OH since he was a teen. His dad was a professor at nearby Antioch College so Chapelle spent lots of time in that community as a kid spending summers with his dad. In many interviews Chappelle has referenced Yellow Springs as a second hometown so it's not like he threw a dart and chose to live in the middle of an Ohio cornfield. Yellow Springs is a very socially and politically liberal pocket, so much so that Chappelle choose to raise his family there and has been a resident for decades. And he was not opposed to "low income housing" in any standard context of what those words mean in most other housing scenarios. He was opposed to substantial urban sprawl and the smoke and mirrors of a city council board trying to push through a zoning proposal and site plan that was not representative of its current community residents. If housing @ $200k is low income 1/2 hour outside the greater Dayton, OH area, then the economy is much better than what's being reporting by HUD. What Chappelle objected to is really no different then the housing push back that's been going on for years in Portland, OR etc. against more ala David Byrne's Taking Heads/Rush subdivision sprawl.

The one thing some people can't understand is social class which can also tie into economic class. Dave is socially middle class but has high income. Dave clearly wants to preserve his town's social status. Bringing in low income housing to an enriched neighbourhood would cause a degrade in property value, which would also lower Mr. Chappelles economic income (not anything that would grossly impact him to a lower class or status.) I guess some people see no differences in class or structure or rather they believe that they can mix environments and see no draw back or negative ramifications. People really need to study basic economics in my opinion.

@@Coryameta every city has a status quo, your city, my city everyone has a type of structure and standard in play. My city for instance has made growth over the course of 30 years and has improved in its job opportunities and housing development. The value of my city has grown and it also reflects in the quality of serves gained from increased taxes as well. Education, emergency service and public works all increase with a higher average income. My community was once lower medium income but over the course of a few decades it has grown to medium income. If my city decided to bring in affordable housing (which isn't that bad in my opinion) it could attract a different class of individuals who's standards and contributions are below average. Depending on where people come from with it can always have a negative or positive outcome, it all depends on what they can contribute based on their practiced standards and income. Lower class standards can blend a bit with the middle class but it's a tidier tot between the population and its influences.

I'm not sure if you are black or not but wanting to keep one's communities from accepting ""undesirable"" people so one can maintain a particular status will alway be used to keep us out, regardless of our socioeconomic status. If you want to lower crime, call for an investment into infrastructure and job opportunities.
