    Do people in this thread really think the developer took the topsoil and sold it to someone else?

    Bitch, please. Topsoil isn’t valuable enough to strip and truck somewhere. The tiny layer we humans can grow food in is just that thin in a large part of North America.

    Deal with it.

      They do though. They rip it all up and sell it off when they’re doing construction.

      Source: used to work in commercial landscaping. Which on new jobsites involves bringing in new soil to replace the soil that’s gone.

      That being said, there are places in the US where there isn’t much topsoil to begin with, it’s true.

      jokes on you, here in the south the top soil is old swap and sometimes actual farm top soil, it is indeed bagged and sold off sometimes
