In a decidedly different controversy than the ones he’s been more recently embroiled in, Dave Chappelle has apparently been involved in striking down an affordable housing plan in his current home of Yellow Springs, Ohio. According to a report by Dayton Daily News, the city council in the village of Yellow Springs struck down a plan earlier this week to zone a section of a new housing development specifically for the building of affordable housing.
Chappelle was a vocal member opposing the zoning plan. He took the stand at the city council meeting in which the plan was struck down, and he even appeared to threaten to pull out his businesses plans in the area if the council approved the proposal. Chappelle vaguely referenced the power of his “$65 million a year company,” Iron Table Holdings LLC, in a short but charged session at the mic in the meeting.
