The low-density residential subdivision development that dominates the Atlanta area has historically not been required to replace lost tree inventory.[citation needed] Because of larger lot sizes and natural-looking architecture such as California contemporary older neighborhoods typically have many mature forest trees except in cases where they have been destroyed by homeowners.[citation needed] Increasing density allowed by zoning since the 1980s has meant fewer and fewer trees left and by the 2000s it became common for developers to completely clearcut dozens of acres of forest and bulldoze all hills flat to build generic tract housing often with tightly packed homes nearly touching each other and up against the street.[citation needed] However over the past decade some area cities and counties have revised their tree ordinances to require tree recompense to be equal to or greater than the pre-development tree density trying to ensure a future tree canopy Rather than leaving trees on each home lot as before this typically involves a set-aside of green space in each development with most other areas still clear-cut Even when some trees are replaced it is with a single type of trees planted the same distance from each other rather than different trees at random placement and age as in the native forest At a rate of 50 acres (20 hectares) per day,[citation needed] the deforestation brought by land development has had a significant impact on area watersheds as they now flood far more rapidly and to a much greater extent than prior to development.[citation needed]!
