Is Dave Chappelle just another rich guy trying to keep poor people from moving into his neighborhood? By now, you've probably seen clips of Dave Chappelle threatening to pull a major investment in his hometown over a disagreement with their development plan. You've also probably seen reports saying that he didn't like the part of it that promised to include low-income housing. Sounds like a rich guy saying not in my backyard to poor people, which is pretty lame. But looking more closely at the development reveals a slightly different picture. The plan was to build 149 homes in Yellow Springs Village, Ohio, just three of which were to include future affordable housing. Quoting a long time member of the Congress for the new urbanism, my own brother, I'm a pretty hardcore yin-bi, but I wouldn't support this hot mess of a plan either. Building nothing is better than building six income-separated cul-de-sac clusters in Virgin Farmland at the edge of town. Cities can't afford to zone for this garbage. Honestly, I'm not so sure Dave's wrong. It's his money and maybe the situation is a bit more complicated than it appears.
