Update: I revisited this subdivision in 2015. Many of the homeowners have now bought adjacent vacant lots and expanded their yards.

Where do subdivisions go when they die? Or more accurately, where do subdivisions go that never get off the ground in the first place?

Only two houses were built in this subdivision, off of Crescent Road in southwest St. Louis County, before building stopped dead.

Did we really have to destroy a little bit more of our natural or agricultural environment, considering the subdivision was obviously a bad idea?
