The part that caught my eye was this part: "According to the commission’s application summary, the subdivision will include 53 four-unit lots and four common area tracts."
What is a "four-unit lot" ?

So tired of these cookie-cutter, vinyl eyesores popping up everywhere that look even shittier after five to 10 years of crappy upkeep. "
Such a struggle....

Baton Rouge was built this way. Southdowns, Fairfield’s, Belfair, Standard Heights and all these old neighborhoods were high density developments. The construction was better, but a lot of these homes were on piers and there weren’t all these amenities.

83K a lot. Are they 1 acre or bigger?

Seems like a lot of areas around here should start considering maximum lot coverage for impermeable surfaces. Decades ago this was common in many areas in the Northeast mostly aimed at stopping the McMansions but also to limit runoff and flooding. Limits of 15%-20% were fairly common in nicer areas.

You can cut your grass with a weedeater.

13 acres / 53 lots ~ 0.25 acres/lot (not accounting for common areas)

I’ll probably be looking to downsize in the next year or two. The first question I’m going to ask in buying a new home will relate to flood insurance increases over the last year. The second question I’m going to ask is whether the house was built by DSLD or HR Horton.
If there are any other sketchy builders that I should know about, please let me know.

Big nope for me too close to a graveyard.
Don’t want to see dead people walking around my neighborhood.
Lived next too a graveyard in NBR when I was little. My sister and brother use to scare me when I was little.

OK, where are these folks supposed to live?

developer A gets approval for a subdivision then turns around and sells it to Horton, Level, DSLD, etc, which is not what the approval was for.
Does planning approve or deny a project based on the buyer?

We don't do a lot of outside stuff, so I much rather have a small yard that requires minimal upkeep.
I never see or hear my neighbors unless we happen to see them outside.
You just described every current and future crime zone.

There are DR Horten subdivisions where a 6 foot man can damn near touch his outer wall and his neighbor's wall right here in SWLA.

Not sure where they're only getting 53 lots. My FIL lives right past St. Pat's and said he counted 85 green pole stub outs.
