Theory from convo with : sidewalks can have lots of trees if there are no curb cuts (NYC) or if lots are wide (PDX), but narrow lots + curb cuts = fewer sidewalk trees, bc too many long segments with little room bw curb cuts (common in SF!)
True? Relevant literature?

e.g: This is my street. At one end, there are no trees at all, because there are 6+ consecutive driveways across multiple lots on each side of the street! Not cute. But then, immediately after those lots, the situation improves, and the street's vibe is totally different!
(sorry to have screwed up the byline, Sebastian!)
