I'm pretty sure that Jordon did have a mansion in the suburbs. I believe that when he moved, he sat on the market for years because it was very customized for him, such as having a full size basketball court. Oprha had just as much influence on Chicago's coolness, especially for women. And I suspect her presence also help attract other TV shows to Chicago, like Judge Mathis and maybe even movies that began to more often filmed in Chicago - but this is just my speculation.
