On Toronto's "garden suburbs" (the same can be said of Vancouver though not Montreal):

The Annex may have lost many of its wealthy residents, but neighbourhoods of the elite - Rosedale, Forest Hill (Crestwood Heights in a well-known 1950s study), and Lawrence Park - remained stable. All were more densely built up than similar American districts like Beverly Hills, Grosse Pointe, Shaker Heights, and obviously Scarsdale...What is most striking is that they were not separated from their cities, they paid their taxes to the wider community, not some exclusive municipality. Forest Hill actually became part of the city in 1966.
