It is. Especially considering most of Toronto's best restaurants, bars, stores etc are west of Bathurst. Lots of good stuff going on east of the Don these days too. And on Yonge north of Davenport all the way up to North York (if you enjoy good Korean food in the latter case).
My answer to the question depends on your definition of downtown. I live in the central city in an area just east of the Don River that I would in no way consider downtown. However suburban types often refer to this living situation as "living downtown".
I certainly work in the City's definition of the core at Queen's Park and Wellesley. It's not the financial core though. So I guess I'm downtown 5 days a week? If it wasn't for work I would spend most of my time in the inner city outside of downtown proper, with the exception of passing through to go from east to west
