Joe may have gone alt-right as of late, but put me down on the "not guilty" camp. Context matters: https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-...ws/joe-rogan-india-arie-spotify-b2008284.html https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-...-india-arie-spotify-b2008284.html?jwsource=cl
Looks like Spotify is using the opportunity to clean house of money costing topics...Kyle's defense of Rogan is a good one but I've timestamped to some interesting observations:
Dave Chappelle cancels low income housing. He's not going to to have any of this shiat near him. Town Votes Down Affordable Housing After Dave Chappelle Threatens To Pull Business Chappelle said he was "not bluffing" about pulling his businesses in Yellow Springs, Ohio, if the city council passed a proposal for more affordable housing. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/dave-chapelle-yellow-springs-ohio_n_62043583e4b0ccfb3e5007dd Comedian Dave Chappelle threatened to pull “millions of dollars” from the Ohio town he lives in if an affordable housing proposal passed city council. The proposal failed. “I am not bluffing,” Chappelle told city council members before a vote. “I will take it all off the table.” Yellow Springs City Council voted 2-2 on Monday against its own planned proposal that would have expanded affordable housing, the Dayton Daily News reported. The proposed development on the 53-acre area would have included 64 single-family homes, 52 duplexes and 24 townhomes. Instead, the area will feature 143 single-family homes with a starting price of $300,000, according to the Dayton Daily News. Though the city council appeared in agreement with the proposed plan last July, opposition from residents in Yellow Springs led to Monday’s decision to scrap the affordable housing. Among the most vocal in opposition was multimillionaire Chappelle, who has plans to open a restaurant and comedy club in the Yellow Springs area. Chappelle also has an office downtown. “I cannot believe you would make me audition for you,” Chappelle told city council members before Monday night’s vote. “You look like clowns. I am not bluffing, I will take it all off the table. That’s all, thank you.” Chappelle previously threatened to pull his businesses back in December if the proposal went forward. “I just want to say I am adamantly opposed to it,” Chappelle told city council members over video chat. “I have invested millions of dollars in town. If you push this thing through, what I’m investing in is no longer applicable.” At the time, Yellow Springs Village Manager Josue Salmeron told news station WHIO he wasn’t trying to “hurt Dave” with the proposal. “Certainly none of what we’re doing is in any way or to hurt Dave in any way ... I have a responsibility to look out for the interest of the entire community,” Salmeron said. Representatives for Chappelle and Yellow Springs City Council did not immediately return requests for comment.
fake news, hit job by developer. Chappelle opposed the whole urban development, not the small percentage of the land set aside for affordable housing (not even promised to be developed). https://ysnews.com/news/2021/12/villagers-voice-concerns-over-oberer-development
Uh..what... the village allowed the proposal to go through EXCEPT for the affordable housing component that Chappelle & others opposed. Here is the Dayton Daily New article where you can get further details and see the associated documents. plus video. VIDEO: Yellow Springs votes no on housing plan after Chappelle, others speak up https://www.daytondailynews.com/loc...e-others-speak-up/WFSD7UXAYVECLOFCZPWU4IV4FE/ "Oberer Homes can move forward with a new development in Yellow Springs, but without an affordable housing component initially promised to the village, after council voted against the village’s own plan Monday night."
dude, the link I posted is from Dec. The developer revised their shit. They were virtue signaling w/the "affordable housing" bit. https://ysnews.com/news/2020/09/land-annexation-moves-ahead
The irony being that I post my opines on this forum? I have news for you. This website/forum is not "social media".
