Calling city 'unlivable,' Mancow sells Lincoln Park condo

'I think they've done a good job of making the city unlivable for families'

By Bob Goldsborough Special to the Tribune

8:31 a.m. CST, November 18, 2013

Calling his decision to leave the city “heartbreaking,” radio host and reality TV star Erich “Mancow” Muller has sold his Lincoln Park condominium and decamped to a house in Wilmette.

Muller, who is a married father of twin school-aged daughters, told Elite Street he’d had enough with city living.

“The schools are awful. I guess I could have had (my daughters) go to public schools, but I don’t want them to be stupid. I drove past Lincoln Park High School every day, and the kids are cursing and yelling and have their hands down each other’s pants," he said. "And then, I was spending $45,000 a year for the (private) British School of Chicago. It was killing me."

Mancow also said there were always homeless people outside his door and street parking he often used was raised from a quarter an hour to $13 an hour.

Mancow was smart enough to not say anything until he actually sold. I do believe that Chicago real estate today is akin to Detroit real estate a decade or two earlier. Last one out, please turn off the lights.

I’d rather walk in a Detroit blackout than in some areas of Chicago during the day. At least I can legally defend myself in Detroit.

If you’re correct, you could make a killing.
If there are REITs with high percent Chicago holdings, short em.

Is this the same condo he was pissing and moaning about years ago because it was too small? Don’t remember when exactly. i quit listening to talk radio a long time ago so I haven’t heard this guy in a while.

Mancow is a liberal? He didn’t seem like one when he used to appear on Fox & Friends with E. D. HIll a while back.

I don’t think he’s a liberal either.

He was an uncomfortably manic loudmouth from what I remember but what else are talk show hosts for?

I love the TV show GOD GUNS AND AUTOMOBILES

A lot of laughs and they are not afraid to show guns and God in their life.

“I do believe that Chicago real estate today is akin to Detroit real estate a decade or two earlier.”

Not by a long shot, especially not in Lincoln Park.

Wealth envy is a nasty affliction.

The fact is that Lincoln Park isn't Chicago like Bloomfield Hills isn't Detroit. Wealthy suburbs surround all cities.
