Google streetview can give a good POV fastly... I choosed areas in Paris with a very bad reputation, didn't search, just took a street randomly in the neighborhood :
here you are in the middle of La Grande Borne, definitely top 3 starting to the bottom where I would like to live. It's extremely poor , extremely extremely...Unemployment must be 50% here, it's the symbol of the fail of banlieues : https://www.google.fr/maps/@48.65146...7i13312!8i6656
I really put bad areas, that are seen by foreign medias (for some of them like Grande Borne /Courneuve, Goutte d'Or) as warzones .
Do we really have a filthy capital ? No.
Do we have a clean capital ? No.
Do we have an ultra dense capital? Yes.
Do we have a filthy RER that ruins the image of the city? F. yeah
After more viewing, I also accuse the sidewalks of Paris made with this ugly tar (? is it the good word) that looks specially ....ugly compare to pavements, everything else being equal.

Your first streetview image of London is date-stamped 2012, whereas the unaltered streetview explorer usually defaults to the latest version (September 2016). You know, the view of the same road with all the new infrastructure and redevelopment.

I think better to let people sample randomly for themselves.
Very true, and people that like/want to browse through SV won't even read that...
Some of them can click on these links too, just to see straight from CD. I always do it when there's a streetview link, I guess I'm not the only one on earth...
No amount of cherry picking of street views is going to change the fact that Parisians still aren't tidying up properly after their pets. Sort that out and much of the city's bad reputation will go. Then you'll need to address public urination.

Cherry picking? Like cherry picking the North of Paris and La Courneuve, Gentilly, Aubervilliers, La Grande Borne ? Do you realize? Probably not.
Things improved a lot recently. Nothing compare to 15 years ago.
Streetview shows everything in Paris, And the 18/20 spots I showed are quite representative overall. I don't see anything ultra clean, but nothing near Napoli's level too.

The problem isn't your choice of neighborhoods, but how you portray them.
The fact that you're messing around with timestamps is pretty straightforward evidence that your sample is not random.
Why else would you messing around with timestamps unless you're cherry-picking street views to portray a certain point of view?
Listen (well read). I just take my mouse, click randomly and copy-paste de link. That's all. Now if you don't believe me, you can cherry pick very dirty areas it's your choice.
Besides, people are totally free to scroll through the street. There's no "angles", it's not pictures , you can turn, you can move....
I showed randomly picked area. Believe it or not.
Even if it sounds impossible to see Paris not full of litters everywhere !
