My landlord here in a wealthy area of Mexico is supposedly extremely well-off (and the main house looks somewhat mansion-like from the street), yet the back part of the house that you can't see from the street is halfway finished. Hopefully he is going to wait until my lease is up before he really picks up the construction again. I think that's what he said. Taxes might have something to do with it. But also Mexico is so poor, I think there are just a lot of cases where people just don't have the money to finish a project right away or even tear down an old building. So it's just almost normal to see derelict of half-finished buildings in certain areas. My theory is that it therefore becomes sort of customary and acceptable to leave things like that and so it is more common. Even in cases where people could afford to finish more quickly.
