Disclosure of "short sales" in government housing; How did Hugo Chavez turn the housing poor into a voting base in the 2012 election? Housing market outlook: 1 The earthquake 4 months ago in Venezuela was the most expensive for the advocacy group "Government intervention in housing construction" in the presidential office of that country. 2 The earthquake above 7 Richter in the suburbs of Caracas this summer led to the collapse of 90% of 10 12-story towers. 3 Now the research report of an American newspaper shows the low resilience of residential towers in Venezuela against earthquakes.

These towers were all "supported housing" built by the government in 2012 just as Hugo Chávez needed the people's presence at the ballot box with a promise to build 3 million homes. 4 The Ministry of Special Programs and Projects of the Venezuelan Presidency, which oversaw the construction of these towers.

He declared a priority to complete the towers in a "short time". 5 This was one of the government's violations in providing subsidized housing. These 6 towers, which are interpreted as the seal house of Venezuela, were built without real supervision of civil engineers. 7 In their construction, whenever there was a lack of concrete, different mortars were used. 8 One of the major deviations of supportive housing was not using a shear wall in the building, which negated the possibility of the structure resisting the destructive force of the earthquake. These 9 towers were built on loose soil and their calculation was done under government pressure on "hypothetical land" instead of "the place where the towers will be erected" in order not to be closed by the government to this construction. The new leader of this country closed the Office of Special Presidential Projects that played a big role in the seal of Venezuela. More details Adama Ha'Arutz.
