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.

The village and Oberer had worked together to produce a plan that would include duplexes and affordable housing along with single-family homes in a 53-acre area along Spillan Road at the south edge of town.

The village initially asked for the development to advance affordable housing in the village, including an area that the village would later be able to develop into affordable housing, as well as more duplexes and townhomes.

But Monday night, after complaints from numerous residents, including comedian Dave Chappelle, village council voted 2-2 with one abstention on the revised “planned unit development” zoning.

That means the zoning reverts to what was previously approved, with 143 single-family homes on the lot, with the homes starting at about $300,000, according to village documents. The village annexed about 34 acres of the land into the village last summer.

The development that council voted on Monday night would have included 64 single-family homes, 52 duplexes and 24 townhomes with an additional 1.75 acres to be donated to the community for affordable housing to be built later.

The Yellow Springs village council president wrote a memo describing the housing plans.


Multiple Yellow Springs villagers, including entertainer Dave Chappelle, lobbied against the project. Chappelle even threatened to pull his business interests from the village, which include a plan for a restaurant called “Firehouse Eatery” and comedy club called “Live from YS.”

Chappelle’s company, Iron Table Holdings LLC, bought the former Miami Twp. fire station at 225 Corry St. in December.

Chappelle repeated his threat again on Monday night in the village council meeting.

“I am not bluffing,” he said. “I will take it all off the table.”

Other villagers cited concerns with traffic flow, problems with a proposed homeowner’s association and issues with water management, but several villagers said they also felt that council had not included them in the process with Oberer.

One resident, Matthew Kirk, a member of the citizen’s board who worked on the project, said he was initially excited but his view later “soured.” He argued that the plan was really two projects rather than one: a single-family home development next to a condo development.

“I think it’s important to kind of understand the framing and also understand how those products attract different homebuyers,” Kirk said.

Two council members, Brian Housh and Marianne McQueen, voted for the revised project mixing homes, duplexes and townhomes. Council members Carmen Brown and Lisa Kreeger voted against the project. Kevin Stokes, who lives near the project and has previously stated he opposes the project, recused himself because he felt he had a personal interest in the vote.

He probably doesn't want poor white people and all their problems around him and his family. I say that b/c he lives in Ohio.

Not everyone wants section 8s and "affordable housing" near them.

Cliffs

Obama era policies were put in place to move government housing out into the suburbs, since they felt it was unfair for people in the suburbs to not have to deal with the violence and other issues that city dwellers living near housing projects were used to dealing with.

This is an issue that's been covered in conservative media for the past several years, but it's been ignored by the mainstream media. No doubt this is what Chappelle is objecting to. Putting housing projects in close proximity to affluent neighborhoods in the suburbs will cause all sorts of obvious problems.

So that's what this is about.. no one wants government leaches around them, period. They actually moved some of those people into my town and they're going to school here.. #TrumpSaveUs2024

i dont see a problem with what he's doing. he moved there for a reason, one of which is that there arent section 8 homes around him.

People who worked hard to earn a spot in that area will obviously feel some resentment towards those who get the same perks without paying into it.

$300k is cheap as fuk

white supremacists at it again

Who the fuk wants a housing project next door?

Why’s anybody wanna live in Ohio anyway?

But srs he’s just doing what people have been forever. Except he’s also pumping tons of $ into the area

Used to go down to Yellow Springs years ago and have even seen Dave skateboarding through town. But it is a liberal hippie town that has just gotten disgusting. Homeless people and nasty looking hippy chicks everywhere. Have no clue why he lives there still, I know his dad was a professor at a tiny college there years ago, but it’s a chithole I won’t even go to now

We live in a strange strange world...

Hard work and pride are top priorities for a lot of people.

Wonder what things will be like in 15 or 20 years? Good luck to us folks

No one wants parasites living near them.

I don’t want affordable housing near me. I have lived in them. I finished my degree, worked my ass off to get what I have. Meanwhile people that I grew up with winded up in jail, dead or living off of the government and I have zero respect for that. And I don’t want to live near them.

He isn’t wrong.

Central Ohio has A LOT of blacks and ghettoish areas. I'm not sure about Yellow Spring itself, but since it's really close to Dayton and not that far from Columbus...

wow, you mean there are poor people of all different kinds of ethnicity?


that's crazy

Yellow Springs is a small hippie village, a haven for actual filthy '60s style hippies. It would completely obliterate the city and its culture.

Lol @ Joe thinking free crack pipes is what the black community wants right now.

^^^yup

Bad neighbours and if the government is selling those places cheap, basically puts a cap on the capital growth you can get on your own home

As a developer I stay the hell away from any suburbs with government housing

The guy is standing up for the norms in the town
He can live anywhere he wants
He is helping out the people in the region that for sure do not want the "affordable" housing by pulling his money if they do it
Of course the left will play the he is oppressing "poor" people looking for "affordable" housing

I guess the irony is that if the government stopped printing money to spend on corporate welfare programs and bailouts they wouldn’t need “programs” to make housing affordable for actual people.

Which government am talking about?

Spoiler!

Bingo

It's ramping up again under Biden now. I live in the suburbs and they are even putting these people in brand new developments via houses that corporations bought and rent out.

Unfortunately I have low income housing near me in the suburbs.

BRB ghetto thugs roaming nice neighborhoods at night
BRB breaking into cars in people's drive ways
BRB breaking into homes
BRB families living in the homes don't take care of them
BRB lawns look like chit
BRB loud music all the time
BRB cars all parked in the street because they cram 10 people into one house
BRB one house appears to be selling drugs
BRB used needles on the sidewalks in neighborhoods

What a utopia. Thanks Obama and Biden.

they built govt housing a few miles down from one of my rental properties. now the neighborhood has car and home break-ins. was thinking about selling but the home prices in that area barely moved up, whereas other areas gone up by 10-15%

Based Chapelle.

Did you not read the message I responded to, implying that it must be practically all white since it's in Ohio?

This. He literally has an entire bit about them in one of his more recent standup specials lol

Let's be real here.Nobodywants section 8 housing near them. The only people who like section 8 housing are landlords because it guarantees they get their rent on time
