The Malvern area of Toronto used to be a middle class neighbourhood. But since I moved out of the area in 1987, it has radically changed. It is now one of the toughest areas in the city (rivalling the Jane/Finch area for gang and gun violence).
Most of the people I know from there, or rather their parents, have moved further out of the city into the sprawl of Whitby, Pickering and Ajax (my Mom is included in this).
I would argue it's a cyclical thing except that most of the homes in the area were constructed around 30 years ago and are in worse shape than the house I lived in in downtown Toronto built 100 years ago.
