This might indeed be the case but if it is, I think it's not all encompassing. I know our PV sits on nothing but sand (having done some digging to diddle with sprinkler heads and to bury a coax cable for the satellite dish). Everything we've got seems to be growing just fine. Probably best to check the specific properties you're interested in.
Another thing is that some homes in Duval will have natural gas service. Those that do will more than likely have a gas furnace, dryer, and stove. Some people like having it, others don't. Can't speak for ALL the homes in Duval but I know that most all the houses I see have the flue pipes sticking out the rooftops. Ours has natural gas.
