Looking at the aerial view, it’s obvious that he overbuilt for the neighborhood. Also there’s what appears to be a busy loud avenue just east, and beyond it a commercial strip.

My kids used to trick or treat at his house. If he was in town, he would come out to the gate and hand out candy. Passed through that area earlier this year. Still a nice area, but it seemed nicer when I lived there. Jordan's property is sort of between Deerfield and Highland Park we lived in Deerfield. My property taxes in the nineties was double what I pay currently. I cannot imagine what the taxes are on that property they have to be outrageous.
