That's just the perspective effect of tilting the camera upwards. Notice
that the next door houses both appear to be leaning in to the centre of
the picture. The effect looks more noticeable on the left than on the
right but that's due to the camera leaning slightly down to the left. If
you rotate the photo anticlockwise a little to get the horizontals
correct it's more evenly balanced each side.

You would think that with the excess of pixels available these days
people would hold the camera upright and crop the foreground out.

It isn't. It's due to perspective distortion (in particular, tilting
verticals) due to not arranging as previously mentioned, standing square
on from a distance suitable to frame enough of the area of interest
whilst keeping the focal plane of the camera (the camera back is parallel
to the focal plane in most cases) parallel in both horizontal and
vertical planes with respect to the building's frontage.

The main problem when using an ordinary camera from such a low down
position, as indicated in the picture, is you'll be including an awful
lot of unwanted foreground (as was also mentioned) in the lower half of
the picture, effectively wasting some three quarters or more of the
sensor pixels. If you're using a 16MPxl camera on a shot where 4Mpxl's
worth of resolution is more than ample in the final cropped image, this
can be a very cost effective alternative to investing in a special tilt
lens / swing back architectural camera. :-)
