I lived in Willowdale for over 35 years. The neighbours were from a mix of races and all had lived in Canada far longer than me. Since 1988 almost all of the new people who came to live nearby were Chinese, drawn by nearby schools with excellent reputations. Two years ago almost all of those who came to look over my house for sale were Chinese and 15 of the 16 offers to buy were received from Chinese and their (Chinese) realtors. The pleasant, young, unmarried, childless Chinese couple who bought my house told me quite openly that they were going to buy a second house in the area.  They spent over 2 hours in my house with a Chinese building contractor discussing renovations and put down a $50,000 deposit with their offer to buy. They were entirely flexible about move-in dates. My house is now being rented to three unrelated young Chinese men who park expensive cars in the drive.
