In December 2021, the Yellow Springs News reported that Chappelle, who lives near the planned development, said during a council meeting that he was “adamantly opposed” to the proposal that would add “140 mixed-income level homes to the village.”

“I’ve invested millions of dollars in town. If you push this thing through, what I’m investing in is no longer applicable,” he said. “I would say that Oberer can buy all of this property from me if they want to be your benefactor because I will no longer want to.”

Which part of this is untrue? The part where he bullies the council by threatening to leave town with his moneybags if they dare to build affordable housing? Are these not direct quotes from Chappelle?
