Not really sure why it's the case, but fences (usually chain link or wood picket, sometimes hedges) are actually pretty common in many inner parts of the city - at least in the traditionally more working class areas: https://goo.gl/maps/KEnkWHEk9pmoNavR6

A lot less common in upscale areas though - but I'm not sure if it's that they've since been removed during renovations or just never existed in the first place: https://goo.gl/maps/ucwvd4DrMDEoDj7bA

But they definitely don't exist at all once you get out to the streetcar suburb areas or further: https://goo.gl/maps/si4N5GRPZZRznhjy7
