That's most true in the inner-ring suburbs; Niles, Skokie, Berwyn, Cicero--the places where people were the first in their family to move out of the city. They found their dream home (the classic "raised ranch") and never changed. Up on the North Shore, they redecorated every few years, and had maids and cleaning women to give their old stuff to.
