I don't think Yellow Springs, OH is the reason Dave Chappelle is now a transphobic asshole, as you're suggesting. Yellow Springs was first started as an attempt to create a socialist utopia. It's super hippie dippy, and home to a notable liberal arts school. It's historically much much more liberal than the rest of Ohio.
Also he's lived there since like 2005, well before his transition into a transphobic asshole.
In my opinion, the reason is money, along with the "fuck you I got mine" attitude that comes with oodles and oodles of money.
It's a liberal pocket of suburban ohio. Think of Bill Maher types but in a hippie bubble, that's yellow springs.
