Mmmm, so Pin Oak must of been the chosen tree to replace Honey Locust for urban plantings in the midwest. I'm not sure where I read it, but the author speculated Honey Locust will eventually regain its lost popularity. The Pin Oaks I've got are of the northern variety (Q. ellipsoidalis), and as far as I'm concerned are overplanted as well. Unfortunately, they're native and with mother nature doing the planting I really don't have much to complain about. I've got some naturally seeded White Oak in the woods, but they don't seem to develop into the beautiful trees I see on better ground. Just like the NPO, they look a bit stunted and haggard. Here's about as good of White Oak as we can grow.
