Many folks don’t realize everything required just to build one house on one buildable lot. There’s setbacks to consider, engineering the septic system, getting a curb cut, utilities (which have their own building constraints), not blocking easements in doing all this, and actually putting a liveable house in all that. Putting in a street is that magnified multiple times over plus dealing with additional demands from the town, making sure lots adhere to minimal zoning acreage, drainage, street lights, sidewalks, fire hydrants, on and on. Plus political maneuvering with the planning board to make all that happen. There’s also the financial part of being on the hook for the land and the construction loans while you deal with schedules for everything. Putting in streets is an intensely multi-discipline skill.
