So what do I do with this tree? it's the prettiest tree in my front
yard, but looks very ghetto as it's been allowed to grow at such an
angle. What can I use as a stake that's stronger than a ground rod?
Rebar? And how do I pull it without using a pickup truck (e.g. safely)
I'm thinking two cables, each with a turnbuckle in the middle,
alternately being shortened, or maybe I should just bite the bullet and
invest in a good, heavy come-along.

First, make sure it's your tree. Those in the strip between the
sidewalk and street often belong to the local municipality.

Dig out the low side until you can rock it by hand, pull to the
desired angle via your preferred method (protecting the trunk where
your cable contacts), fill in the space under the roots with very damp
soil (to aid compaction), then stake it.

Then, heavily water it daily x7, then water "normally" daily x7.
