Developers, renters, owners - in areas like this, they just clearly don't care about it. No excuses.

Most of these pics show streets that look like old rentals that cater to people strapped for cash. Usually people that move a lot and have little connection to their surroundings. With the new, seems to be townhouses, maybe this will change. They are a little stark. Gentrification? The developers could have included a tree in front.
I would love to see the city step in with a city wide tree planting plan, new sidewalks etc.
Not trying to start this again but underground wires coming with new street construction.

One can hope.
