Am I mishearing him in that lil speech or is he basically saying "I'm worth more than the developer company so you better side with me"?

Dave's concern trolling of "guys this isn't really AFFORDABLE HOUSING" isn't cute

The rest of the development is going ahead, just not the affordable housing part. The houses going up are $300k not the proposed affordable ones.
― papal hotwife (milo z), Thursday, 10 February 2022 15:30 (two years ago) link
Where did you see a proposed price on the "affordable" homes that got scuttled? Because I haven't seen that. (Not saying you're not right, just reemphasizing that I have seen very little actual reporting on this story).
Anyway, Chappelle is an asshole, but we're not talking Jimmy Carter coming in to hammer nails. This is a developer in a affluent and appealing exurb that wanted to change the zoning to allow them to build (and sell) significantly more smaller (but not really much cheaper, again, afaict) houses to take advantage of a booming market. This is how they roll. They symbolically dangle out the prospect of affordable housing (and I think I did see they all but literally did this in the plan, offering a plot of land that could *potentially* be used by the town for affordable housing at some undetermined point in the future) while making bank off the bigger lots/homes.
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 10 February 2022 16:12 (two years ago) link
I didn’t see a number on the affordable ones but the 150 single family homes are the $300k ones. That would, by necessity, make the cancelled affordable homes less than $300k.
Developer cynicism is correct but irrelevant here. The entire project didn’t get cancelled, just the townhomes/condos. The developer dangled affordable living and Dave & Co. got mad that the village council might make them a reality.

significantly more smaller (but not really much cheaper, again, afaict)
Probably a topic for another thread, but: a combination of economy of scale and some baseline necessities means that smaller houses are not proportionally cheaper. If it has to have plumbing and electricity and hvac and a kitchen it's going to cost a chonk to build. Adding square footage is more costly but it's not linear. It may be the case that a 3,000 sq ft house costs twice what a 1,500 sq ft house costs, but other factors are at play.
In my neighborhood there is a tax structure that incentivizes developers to set aside x percent of units as "affordable" so that x percent can be market-rate. But the housing is (or supposed to be) all constructed at the same time by the same developer, comparable in quality, and all up to code. hence
offering a plot of land that could *potentially* be used by the town for affordable housing at some undetermined point in the future
is a bullshit move

Yeah. So this is the only close to reported story I've seen on this:
https://www.daytondailynews.com/local/video-yellow-springs-votes-no-on-housing-plan-after-chappelle-others-speak-up/WFSD7UXAYVECLOFCZPWU4IV4FE/
If I read the proposal right, the original plan was 143 single family homes, but the abandoned plan divided those homes between single-family and duplexes/townhomes, starting at mid-$200k (categorized as "high & moderate-income for sale + affordable types"), with, yes, "donated land for affordable housing."
