Here in Davis there are still stately elms along the quad at the university, lining the outside of the library along with cork oaks and, I think, valley oaks and Sacramento still has a supply of elms throughout the city. (Sacramento comes as close to the idea of an urban forest as any place I've heard about - I find it delightful).
