I was just there this past summer. I spent one particular drive glued to the window as there seemed to be an endless number of half-built and/or abandoned buildings. Did I misjudge what I was seeing or is that a real concern/symptom for you?
- stavros 3y agoHmm, not especially, where did you notice this? There are various abandoned buildings, but mostly in areas where people don't really want to live in, I haven't seen this being a significant issue, I don't think.
- MattPalmer1086 3y agoWhe I was in Greece I also saw a lot of buildings that seemed incomplete, often with apparently a floor missing. I was told it was something to do with tax and by not "completing" the building some tax was avoided.
- stavros 3y agoHmm, how do you mean a floor missing? Was the top floor half-built or something? I've never seen this that I can recall.
- MattPalmer1086 3y agoThey had steel poles sticking up from the concrete. Essentially they looked like another floor was supposed to be added.
- stavros 3y agoAhh, I see. I feel like I've seen this in otherwise half-finished buildings, but not really in buildings that otherwise look complete, with people living in them, etc. Maybe I'm so used to it that I just don't notice it, though. I'll keep an eye out and report back!
- grvdrm 3y agoI was driving to/from the coastal peninsula region southeast of the city starting at the airport
- stavros 3y agoOh hmm, were those buildings unused? I think that happens when they run out of money, mostly.
