The buildings fell down by themselves after decades of neglect or they were torn down?

No one touched them. Most are still standing, just now in a nearly 40 year old forest.

Nice quiet neighborhood with beautiful mature trees!

I think they are still there just completely covered. Look where the buildings along the middle were. It's different.

Well I'll be darned, zoom the lower photo and there are the buildings, peeking from behind the folliage.

I think the pictures were taken from a slightly different angle as well. The buildings seem a bit farther away in the after image.
