Following on from GEHA’s post, some GMVV houses are collapsing before they’re even assigned!
Update: Needless to say, this one got chigüired in an instant.

OMG. All that wasted energy in building something which appears to have been sub-code. Oh wait, there are no codes. Any ole thing will do.
Roja-rojita, at least the color is right!
I just emailed you some photos of a housing project in Antolin de Campo, Isla Margarita where the houses are made of foam with no columnas or vigas.
A disaster waiting to happen
I live in Antolin del Campo as well and have seen the disaster. The houses build there have no foundations, just a floor poured on uncompacted gravel and landfill. With a nice rainy season there will be little left of those houses.
Which reminds me of an online conversation I had with a PSF some five years ago. I pointed out that housing construction under Chavez was much lower than under the Fourth Republic. The reply of the PSF- and he had some documentation to back it up IIRC- was that government-constructed housing under Chavismo was much better than government-constructed housing under the Fourth Republic. No so much these days, it would appear.
From our friend the Lithium-dependent Capybara:
Gobierno entrega viviendas pre-destruidas…
A great play on words. It reminds me of the US advertising line of “pre-owned cars,” instead of “used cars.”
pre-owned cars?
A play on words is an understatement here…it is more Orwellian than that
The genius store cadell, they’re running out of you.
