The area on the south side of Eglinton is undoubtedly very prosperous and very car-centric. The area to the north is much more "average", although real estate is certainly pricey throughout so people up there have means. On both sides, it's the kind of low density suburb that is hard to service by transit. You are never going to find people in that kind of community giving up their autos, because the layout of the whole thing obstructs both transit and active commuting. That's just how it is in the burbs.
At the end of the day, most of the traffic on Eglinton is passing through, and not destined locally. If we mess up traffic flows, it's people from other parts of the city who will suffer - not the locals. When you get past the Nimbyism, you still have a very major street that needs the best possible solutions to keep cars and LRT from getting in each others' way.
