8,000+ lots; 3,000 with homes

failure of the various subdivisions to come together in the early days for community planning
History suggests that it was already too late once the subdivisions were created -- County should have insisted on buffers so there would be room to widen the roads later -- not that the developers would have actually done this (they weren't held to any of their other legal obligations).
For a comparison, look at the plats around Volcano Village, and note the perfect grid of streets (some existing, some planned). Almost as if it was intended for an actual community, rather than a maximum number of tax lots.
