I live in South Forsyth County and there are no fewer than 3 of these abandoned subdivisions right around mine. They have roads, sewer caps, partially built entrances and weeds. Not only are they a blight on the landscape, but they are prime opportunities for kids to get in trouble by racing the roads and congregating for beer parties.
During the oil collaspe of the middle 80s, those sights were all too common in Texas. It was eerie, everything would be in place except the buildings: light poles, slabs, driveways, utilities.
The RTC came in and quite a few people got rich buying up those properties as they became government property when the developers let them go to the banks which then collapsed.
It was sad to see.

Those were fun times!
