Why are so many buildings in Peru half-built?

766 views

I’ve noticed that in every city we’ve been to—Cusco, Lima, Paracas—there are many buildings that have been partially constructed. Often, the bottom floor is complete (but perhaps vacant) and the top floor(s) still have exposed rebar and are roofless. This trend appears to be for both residential and commercial structures.

This takes place in Mexico too. They only tax finished buildings so to save on the tax bill, they leave part of the building perpetually unfinished.
