Hmm, I never see need to remove objects other than the subject in post. Yes some things can be distracting such as light poles/trash/ec but larger objects in my opinion add balance to the photo. Remove the building and the left side of the photo (for me), would be empty. The car adds weight to the right side of the photo, and the building adds a bit of weight to the left side. All adding up to a balanced photo.
But that's overanalyzing it. I like to keep things simple, haha
