There are no sewers on the street (the several existing homes have

homes stand unfinished and abandoned.

How did they ever get permitting without a plan for the septic or
sewer?That usually happens before you can even submit your building
plan, in the zoning process.

I suspect the homes went up without any permit activity at all. Amazing
that three 4-bedroom houses of the $350,000 flavor could go up without
the city noticing. My tax dollars at work.
