Cornell is one of the very few subdivisions that will age well IMO. Laneways were built for cars, the streets are in a grid pattern, you won't find a single driveway on any house front. And people are in walking distance to transit, shopping and dining. Come back in a few decades and this will feel more like a mature downtown neighborhood then the vast majority of tract housing we are used to seeing. Remove the garage from the front of a house and a suburb all of a sudden doesn't seem so bad.

You'll even find some Coach Houses in the laneways the homeowners can rent out.
