I am just guessing that there is more to the story, that the home builders paid bribes for the permits, and feel like the persons taking the bribes should have stayed bought.

That's the problem with corruption. It's illegal, so it's unenforceable.

the foreigners are easy to pick on, as typically they have little fight in them, and besides, they typically buy with cash and no debt, thus no danger to spanish banks, and further, the move is popular with the locals

democracy is wonderful, per your take

and rule of law superb, per your read

unless of course the whole mess was a setup from the get go

the fraud gene must also be systemically weaved in for the spanish and their offsprings, according to you

>>Green belts are a load of rubbish.<<

Greenbelts are fine with me. Normally the local greenie watchdogs will immediately cry fowl if someone violates the greenbelt zoning. This keeps people from illegal building, so I don't understand how there could be 100K illegally built homes in Spain. Oh well.
