You guys know me. I’m not some huge Dave Chappelle head, falling on swords for the guy, and defending his outright transphobic Netflix special. That said, I’m also not huge on our side pushing half-baked narratives built for Twitter that end up blowing up in our faces once the facts are in, which is why I haven’t touched the whole affordable housing debacle. The story went viral yesterday thanks to a not great looking video of Chappelle throwing his weight around, but since it hit, there have been conflicting reports. Specifically, that the developers were barely providing the housing it promised and that the whole thing seemed shady from the jump. I could be very wrong, and Chappelle could be a full-ass NIMBY, but it never hurts to be fully informed before trying to land dunks. (New York Post)
