"There's A Lesson In Spain's Surreal, Unfinished Cities", un artículo del Huffingtonpost

In a memorable scene in “The Big Short,” the Oscar-nominated 2015 movie about the financial crisis, a real estate agent shows the main characters around a desolate Florida subdivision. She insists that the market is just in a lull as they drive past rows and rows of vacant homes.

But it wasn’t just a lull. It was the housing bubble bursting, and that emptiness was replicated in communities around the world as people lost their homes and developers' projects went bust. 

One of the worst cases was in Spain, where there were more than 3 million unoccupied homes in 2014. Half-finished developments still dot the landscape.
