Won't have coloured neighbors if they can't afford to buy the big lots.

Shaughnessy (which was CPR land) was definitely designed with big lots partly for that (same with the British Properties) - they both had covenants for a long time that forbade the sale to coloured folks. The 50' lots around Shaughnessy were definitely another barrier to keeping out the slant eyes and darkies.
