  A house ‘in construction’ doesn’t have any taxes attached to it, hence the Sicilian’s abode can become an eternal work in progress to avoid hefty fees and excesses.

  I dont know if its the same in ltally as in Greece but there, if you get a building permit, it does not expire until the building is finished. Therefore you see many unfinished but inhabited buildings of simply a few pillars in a field. Its simply to maintain an active builders permit

  Also yeah i know… those are actual ruins but I ended up writing an informational post instead of just a joke as originally intended

    That’s a cool fact!

    My geography teacher told me that unfinished buildings have tax advantages in Greece so people leave rebar protruding through the typical flat white roofs to lower taxes while inhabiting the house. This is maybe a myth, the loophole doesn’t seem to exist in current Greek law.

  Have you been to Greece?

  No, I’m not referring to more ancient ruins. Greeks allegedly(?) leave rebar protruding through their roofs to keep them legally unfinished and save on taxes.

    Wouldn’t that lead to faster corrosion, as the ends of the bars have exposed ends and rust will start from there?

    • Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Well the whole rebar will not rust through that fast

  That building was in use for far longer (80 AD to 1349 AD) than America is discovered (1492 AD to present)

  Italy is very lazy. Same as how they cant be fucked making a pizza sometimes so they fold it and call it a Calzone. Or being to lazy to make lasagna so they just mix it all and called it lasagnette. Smh 🤦
