Because at some point, someone calculated what it would cost to cable the other side of the street and deemed it wasn't a good investment. I'm sure there's some reason why the opposite side of the street would have been marginally more expensive - perhaps capacity was hit in that area, or some kind of landmark prevents a straight run. Green boxes can only accommodate so many connections (40 or something?), maybe they hit their limit and it wasn't worth the cost of building another?
