it is the prototypical 2010s answer to POMO. Most of the new stuff (including many houses) in London look like this, particularly student residences at UWO.

Flags instead of curtains. It was mostly a response to two flags on a truck... here every other house has flags, so that level of nationalism - which is at least 50%+1 Canadian flags, so it's not a personal interest - is very, very normal here. Flags are how you indicate your politics, and a significant percentage of the population wants to do that. I have four tricolour flags as in my signature throughout my apartment. And that's pretty toned down compared to how some people get. I'll have five once I get the pole installed once I replace the little thing over my front entrance.

I swear I will never have stick family decals on my car when I have kids.
That is to your great credit! Actually, I recall seeing a picture of one of those stick figure families that I actually thought was funny/clever. In the place of "Mom", there was an arrow pointing to the gap and a bubble that said "Position vacant. Apply to driver."
In Thunder Bay, we don't stoop as low as using flags as curtains.
We use blankets, instead!
Seriously though curtains are one of those things where, like, they're cheap, so why do so few people have them? Blankets cost just as much as curtains but take more effort to attach to a wall????
And how about those ugly wall drapes (tapestries??) and quilts that you see sold at summer festivals? With Al Pacino wielding a machine 🞵🞵🞵 ("Say Hello to my Little Friend!!"), Sons of Anarchy, and other dreck.

Hahaha flags/blankets for curtains is my favourite contradiction - or in many cases - no window dressings at all.
However, you do see a 60+" HDTV through the wide open window.. Priorities! (NB: As a student I had no curtains in my place, but why spend money for the 8 month stint on something that is customized to the place?)
In related news, the Montreal borough of Ville St-Laurent is calling for a Quebec-wide policy on architecture that will put an end to the ugliness! We'd be the first place in North America with such a policy, I'd say.

Every time I see this type of white trash 🞵🞵🞵🞵 for sale it's on the side of a road from a 70's 🞵🞵🞵🞵 van.
Laval's reaction to Ville St. Laurent's architecture policy:
heheheh!!

This is a section of Calgary's lovely Macleod Trail. The sidewalk just ends. It's been this way my entire life. This is in front of a Toys 'R Us. Worth mentioning that there is sidewalk on either side of that lot. Just not in front of Toys 'R Us. Somehow the city is fine with this.
