Its bad design. Greed a characteristic of real estate developers. Fire depts hate such developments. Who knows what evil lies in the hearts of men.

Check the fire code. I know some areas have a limit as to the number of houses per entrance.

One exit helps with crime. Criminals don't like going into a neighborhood that can have their escape route blocked by one sideways parked car.

There is a second entrance/exit in the works already.
How many more filings will be added and developed BEFORE this entrance ever happens?
Does anyone really know what kind of time frame we are looking at for that second entrance?

I once lived in a nice, quiet, one-entrance neighborhood in suburban Atlanta. After we'd been there for 4-5 years, they put in a second entrance/exit in the back of the property. Overnight, my sleepy little street became a cut-through for all the people who lived in the subdivisions beyond the east boundary of ours. I'd estimate the traffic increased tenfold.

you live in a neighborhood

Suburban Baton Rouge residents reject the smart growth concept of connectedness because it is seen as some sort of liberal NWO conspiracy. That and once entrance eliminates lower class people from cutting through.

Is it safe to live in a neighborhood with only one entrance/exit?
The safest ones have a large gate with a guard shack staffed 24 hours.
Prisons are also built like this.

Neither developer wants this second entrance, I doubt it ever happens. If it does, its several yrs out

Safe from people, not safe from disasters.

Many subdivisions here in St. Tammany have only one entrance/exit. Makes is considerably safer in terms of crime. Often prevents thieves and creepers from snooping around.

Not sure how they legally get away with it

I acknowledged this in my OP, but it still doesn't address the issue of safety concerns in the event of an immediate evacuation. Why not require an "emergency exit" which could be opened in the event of an emergency but it could stay closed under normal conditions? Win/win?

I thought there was some talk of a Bluebonnet Blvd exit/entrance.

I believe that neighborhoods must have 2 exits.
No such requirement.

Unfortunately he's probably the kind of a-hole that'll run to the next city/parish council meeting and raise hell until they make some new regulations about subdivision size.
