We have one kid and live a very car-adjacent lifestyle. In fact, last year I didn't turn on my car for such a long time that the battery died completely and CAA had to squeeze their way into my parking garage to get me going again. But there are very few places in Toronto where you can do that (St. Lawrence is one, thanks to the King streetcar and subway proximity).
I wish there were more, and better transit and bike lanes would enable that in some places, but you can't really do it in a small community with six blocks that is not walkable to any other part of the city, unless you provide really great transit in and out. The WELRT may be that eventually, but nobody will move there without a car until it's built (just like East Bayfront today).
At Bloor and Dufferin now, we're still pretty car-adjacent (I've probably driven to 5 places in the last month and a half) but it's not as easy.
