Fantastic episode!

Just 1 issue about the deserted/decrepit buildings: It has much less to do with economics, but with an ambiguous lawful problem. In 1974, when the island was partitioned, most Greeks still left the north of the island (which became Turkish), but the European Courtroom of Human Rights dominated repeatedly that they nonetheless sustain home and possession legal rights to the residences they still left driving, even if North Cypriot law explained if not.

Tragically, these home disputes were/are between the largest roadblocks to a peace settlement.
