As far as I understand there are tax incentives for being able to add another floor to a house, as opposed to expanding another way. So the rebar out the top is due to tax.

I am fairly sure that you are not exempt from tax if you have an unfinished roof.

It has absolutely nothing to do with taxation.

It's simply easier (and cheaper) to add floors in the future that way.

I stand corrected! It's good to get the facts straight, there is a lot of misinformation about Greece and tax dodging (which, I imagine, is where I got the idea)
