For me street is mostly about B&W, color just sways my attention away from the concept (unless there is a specific reason or particular case such as color-boosting events). Also, for me B&W is easier and cheaper to handle in my daily routine, just because can hardly figure a time slot to drive to the lab and then pick the film day later. Time is getting compressed and too valuable to waste in traffic... B&W I process at my home convenience (including scanning), no need to steal the time from the family... However, I can see some good reasoning for fully color flow (putting fully digital aside) if one finds working with lab a convenient approach to follow, or process lots of film at home automation (Jobo machine or similar)...
