It's the only region in the GTA where middle incomes dominate and is more working class culturally than Halton. It seems to be home to a lot of tradespeople, transit workers, nurses etc.

True. Which makes it more affordable. If I had no ties to the west end, and since I work centrally downtown, I would seriously consider buying a rural property north of 7. I like those houses with land, a long driveway and a bunch of trees. Or a house in a quint village type community. Rural setting but still close to the city.
Only a few years ago I could have gotten that in the Escarpment in Burlington, Milton or Caledon, but the timing wasn't right.
