Yeah that's the weirdest thing I ever heard. The houses in those SJ photos all look like subsidized low income housing, made much worse by the lack of greenery

One of my properties is in a lower income area of the Edmonton inner city and it's actually a really pretty neighborhood, with tall Elm trees lining all the streets. If you didn't know any better you'd think it was the same type of area as the affluent university neighborhoods across the river. Trees make such a huge difference.
