Funny, that's the way things are in Morocco, as well. I visited a few years ago. I asked the tour guide why all the buildings seemed half-built. Inevitably it appeared as if the top floor was still being constructed with rebar sticking up out of the slab roofs. The guide informed us that as long as a house is not considered completed, it is not yet taxed (or perhaps it's taxed at a different rate--I forget exactly). So everyone just leaves rebar sticking out of the concrete roofs to avoid taxation.
