I can see the problems in that picture.
+street five times too wide
+snout houses with huge garages and driveways but few yards and porches
+low rise housing with one floor devoted to parking in a high demand area
+not nearly enough trees
+no street corner retail
But if you think that's bad, you should see 98% of the United States where it's much worse than the worst of San Francisco.
