My boyfriend lives in the Beaches and is pretty active in the community.
Many of the 'granola crunchers' in the Beaches and Upper Beaches have perished and been replaced with accountants with Audi SUVs. The Beaches south of Kingston Road has one of the highest levels of car ownership in the old city limits, likely due to the terrible transit connections, but also, I suspect, due to a suburban sensibility that emanates through much of the community, in spite of its urban bones.
While Riverdale and High Park have made similar sociodemographic shifts, I feel like the transformation is the most stark in The Beaches.
Out of all the candidates, it looks like candidate Josh Makuch has the most 'hard line' view of the bike lanes:
