Also about twice as many people live in the west end (Bathurst to High Park) than east of the Don (Queen streetcar going is east is less crowded!)<br /><br />I never really thought about whether there is more detached in the historically working class sections of the east compared to the west - what are some comparable neighborhood examples?

The west end was built up before cars were commonplace. The east end was largely built up post-WWI. Hence, streets are wider, it's easier to park etc. Also, in those areas which would have started out as lower-middle income, there are more detached houses in the east than the west.
