Very well could. As the area developed from essentially a settlement with no services and cart tracks for roads, into the grid pattern neighborhood it is now, I imagine that the grid needed to be laid down to accomodate what was already there, resulting in the random depth of lots that make the streets not line up. I'd never really thought about it before now.
