I haven't looked in the North Shore, but my neighborhood has had homes sell for numbers that I cannot even fathom. Ran into my real estate agent friend who worked with when we moved 2 years ago....she said supply of homes for sale (standard sale which excludes foreclosures) is incredibly tight....hence homes selling for much higher money. My house late this year would have sold for 20% higher than what I paid 2 years ago.

Parkins could have gotten a house in Chicago like Bernstein.

I know the neighborhood where Bernstein lives. Because he's often said it's close to the WGN TV studios. My Dad grew up in that neighborhood. He went to Lane Tech. And my grandfather lived in that same house until he died. So we visited often when I was a kid. It wasn't a bad neighborhood and as a kid I didn't see many brown people. I used to sell my little league candy bars door to door around that area. Mostly white people. A couple of mexicans. I don't recall any black people.

In 2021 who brags about living in Chicago? The city has been on a decline for decades. While some parts of downtown and west/north side have improved, go to other cities.

For coolness factor you have NYC>>>LA>>>>>>San Fran>>>>>Miami>>>>>then maybe Chicago/Boston of the big cities.

LA is way behind NYC, Miami, and SF. Now granted many people love the weather and beaches, but the actual city is subpar. The downtown though has been boosted in recent years by new housing (condos) and a much improved restaurant scene.

A few things.

I have not listened to the show in months so no idea if this is real.

If so, I agree why would a young kid in 30s with infant leave now. No reason to.

His wife wants to move, that's why.

Tried to give it 15 mins yesterday, but after hearing them try to put a positive spin on the Bears new hire moved along to something else.

Parkins continues to be almost unlistenable and the producers weren't helping him, no reason to waste time listening to the station at this point in time because your not going to be entertained and your not gonna get any thoughts other than the ones the teams spoon feed the stations "reporters" or "experts".

Parkins, Spiegel, and their guests DO NOT regurgitate the team's talking point. If you want to simply focus on the Halas Hall reporter, fine. I can't even think of the name of that reporter off the top of my head and I am a regular listener. But Parkins, Spiegel, Kruetz, Long, and to a lesser degree Hub DO NOT just repeat what is "spoon fed" from the Bears. Parkins and Spiegel were very critical after the presser when the Bears announced they were bringing back Pace and Nagy.

Now Parkins is an NFL expert...almost laughing at this post. Guess we could go back to the countless hours the hapless Parkins spent spewing, "Mitch is ready for level 2.0 of the offense", or "Nagy has created a great culture on this team".

Really easy to be critical now, but where was he a few years ago when it was readily apparent to anyone that actually knew football that Nagy was a fraud and struggled mightily as a play caller?

Then again, good luck being the charter and only member of the Danny Parkins fan club (DPFC).

You're changing your argument. I'm not going to defend Parkins' football knowledge but I will state that your narrative of them just repeating the team's talking points is wrong. Maybe you shouldn't make opinions after only listening for 15 minutes. Or better yet, not post them for everyone to see how mistaken you are.

How did the first DPFC meeting go?

Parkins is just following the trend of anyone else with his income and raising kids. They get the fuck out of the city and move tot he suburbs because city living is awful for raising a family.

Funny how the white people are evil people always end up in the burbs. He should put his money where his mouth is and move his family to the south side ghetto.
