What he’s not telling you is it’s rare to find a multifamily unit under 1 million unless it needs a lot of work as someone from lakeview the reason he’s not telling you the average home which isn’t really a home is 464 k is they count condos and townhomes with high hoa fees that keep prices down good luck finding a home for even an upper middle class salary that isn’t beat up
Lakeview contains one of the largest concentrations of gay businesses and gay populations in the US nonetheless you make no mention of it at all in this video. Lakeview is what it is today in no small part due to the gay population moving into the area in the 70's and 80's and turning it into a thriving area. Making no mention of it at all makes you pretty homophobic.
Sean - thank you for your feedback. As a licensed real estate agent there are certain things such as sexual orientation that are considered protected classes under the REALTOR code of ethics and we can't speak to unfortunately.
@@jordanpyle No one asked you to discuss the demographics of Lakeview. The fact is that Broadway has long been considered the downtown of Lakeview with retail, eateries, bars, coffeeshops, and lots of local small businesses. Halstead is an important multi block nightlife district that spans from Belmont to Grace with some of the top grossing bars in the city and it hosts the biggest street festival in Lakeview. It is just as important as Wrigleyville to Lakeview. While Wrigleyville is most active when the Cubs are playing, Halstead is a daily, year round venue. You discuss none of this. You show no photos of this area. There is no discussion of any amenities in this area. You completely ignore both as if they are too dirty for you to touch. You should have mentioned them with street shots of both. You don’t have to say “gay” at all - between pylons and flags, street shots would say it all. Rather you avoid these areas altogether. Instead you focus all the way over to Southport. Southport is wonderful, but it has always been secondary to Broadway. But don’t discuss that dirty area between Clark and LSD - pretty homophobic. By not discussing and showing these areas you are essentially putting gay people back in the closet. That is a form a discrimination, exactly what the fair housing laws were created to prevent. I guess you are steering people to West Lakeview. Isn’t steering unethical? With your map showing a redline (ironic) that excludes East Lakeview to your focus on Southport, you basically shut out discussion of what most Chicagoans would consider the heart of Lakeview. To my Gay Chicago Brothers avoid this company - given the response, there is obviously no understanding of these issues. Conversely, there is only blatant disregard.
@@seanreidy1420 - I hear you, I really do. However, just a couple things to note. There are plenty of video shots of different places in East Lakeview, as well as my discussion of things to do in East Lakeview. These videos are not fully comprehensive, they are just me pulling out a few things in each category that are outlined by the chapters that I have experience with. Just because my experience doesn't mesh up exactly with yours doesn't mean that I don't think it's important. I did just review the video about the boundary and that is an ERROR as my video editor actually made a mistake and drew the wrong eastern boundary with the red line (which is there to stand out and annotate on the screen, nothing more than that), however if you listen to my words during that section, I do clearly state that East Lakeview's eastern boundary is the lake. I also by no means focus solely on west Lakeview, I always try my best to incorporate different parts of each neighborhood. I know you don't know me, but I would never purposely disregard anyone in an intentional way, and I'm sorry if you feel like there should have been more focus on some of the discussion points you mention in your comment. Just remember, these aren't fully comprehensive videos and if you would like to see a video focused solely on East Lakeview, I'm happy to do one. Thanks for your understanding.
I know I'm 5 months late to this, but him not mentioning that doesn't make him homophobic, yeah it would be cool to know, if anything this is news to me and so it peaked my interest in Lakeview more but you saying that is like saying that because he didn't talk about Asian businesses are then he's xenophobic. I'm sure this is a passion for you, but if you truly want to make an impact a better way to approach this would've been by asking in your comment if he could bring up certain demographics and why on a future video.
What do you think of Lakeview? What other Chicago neighborhood videos should I do?
Wait! I thought West Loop was your second fave!? Haha
Good content. Keep it up.
It's neck and neck with West Loop & Lakeview as my #2. Proximity to the lake with Lakeview but better energy in West Loop in my opinion.
Excelent review!!!

It’s great here!
