Springdale also has been notorious for "spot zoning" to please businesses without thinking longterm about quality of life. That's why you have things like residential subdivisions backing right up to concrete plants, etc. Springdale has always functioned like an overgrown podunk town in its planning and outlook. As a result, it is cheaper and uglier. They seemed to consider Fayetteville the town full of queers and hippies with "stupid" planning ordinances. Now, the only areas of Springdale that are nice-looking are the areas which were deed-restricted and master-planned, like Har-Ber.

Numberwang nails the problem with Springdale. It's not the lower and working class citizens that people disdain. It's the regressive good old boy cronyism of city leadership people look down on.

I like Springdale and I think it has a lot to offer. Shiloh Square will be a truely unique downtown and a treasure in NWA if the vision reaches reality
But business always comes first in Springdale, especially industry and especially poultry industry
It is also the most good old boy city in NWA, and that takes some doing

Fayetteville has made commercial developers plant trees for 25 years. Springdale just came around to that idea maybe 5 years ago.
Yeah, drive past the Fayetteville Target, or Washington Regional. Their parking lots look like damned rain forests in the summertime. The whole "uptown" area is a traffic/access clusterfrick in some ways, but it has a large preserved natural area running through the middle of it with huge trees along the streambank (and trails), and every last street and parking lot is full of trees. It will only get better-looking over time.
Fayetteville gets stuff like that right, even if the Marxist buttfricks in charge ruin other things for us from time to time.

WMT folks announced a new nature preserve, to be named for Rob Walton, on the north side of Beaver Lake. Not sure how many acres, but it looks massive. For reference, the larger "green area" south of that part of the lake is Hobbs State Park, at 12,000 acres. The Waltons and the company have just been dropping so much $$$ on stuff in NWA lately, its hard to keep up.
