They won't even look like that in 70 years. DC's right. Modern developers use 'scorched earth' techniques, removing the best soil before building. There's a reason the trees are so big in Westdale and the Southwest, and it isn't just their age, it's the quality of the soils, quality that is lacking in new subdivisions (likely built on soils that were farmed unsustainabley even before the developers got their backhoes on them).
