In this case I think the schemers have actually gone the other way around... this place is most often advertised as le Sud-Ouest in real estate contexts. This is because most Sud-Ouest neighborhoods were notoriously crass prior to that borough being created. (and still are for the most part). The term ''sud-ouest'' is relatively new, so it conjures up thoughts of Griffintown, the Lachine canal, gentrification and whatnot.
If you're trying to sell property in Ville-Émard or Côte Saint-Paul... well Sud-Ouest is definitely the name you want to feature on your listing. If you're in Griffintown, Little Burgundy or the eastern part of Pointe-Saint-Charles, then the area will erroneously be described as Griffintown.
So many mindgames !
