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.
I'm pretty sure I recall something equally weird, that vinyl siding was regarded as higher-class than brick over there.

Newfie Real Estate Flipping: buy a brick house with mature trees, cover the house with cheap vinyl siding and raze all trees, then resell. Profit!
