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

Since a septic system is no longer allowed in new construction, these

are uninhabitable. The owners had long and totally unproductive
discussions with the city about extending sewers to this street. Now the
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.

Can yew spell troll?

I knew yew could.

Every place I have lived, the project would have been red tagged before the
foundation was poured. There is a sequence of things, one of them being the
inspection process. "Homes" are not built without each stage being
inspected and okayed. And that starts with the dirt.

Someone has been smoking too much ganja.
