They scrape the layer of fertile soil off before building a new home and sell it to the owner of a new house that has had the fertile soil scraped off.
Odd cartoon, in actuality there are many fertile acres that are laying fallow today, due to the low crop prices. Modern agriculture is just very productive.
Actually the suggestion depicted in the middle panel has been in place in Detroit, Michigan for a few years now. A lot of one time residential property in that city had been vacant and rotting since the summer of 1967. In recent years, some of it was bulldozed and is now used to grow veggies.
