Even after the home-buidling boom of the year ahead of the 2012 presidential vote, chavismo still hasn’t caught up with the puntofijo years’ pace…

The Book
In praise of Blogging the Revolution
“Caracas Chronicles has been an indispensable source of lucidity and perspective in these turbulent times in Venezuela. Toro and Nagel have been right on target, without pretending to be ludicrously impartial; they have been able to rise above polarization, trying hard to make sense of an often implausible reality. Blogging the Revolution shows them at their best. If you are not already a fan, you will become one.”

That graph seems to reflect more the average of homes built “per term”, than the average “per year” which would be a closer call (in the 13Ks for both republics).
Nope, it’s per year. Check page 5 of – http://transparencia.org.ve/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/0.-Antecedentes-y-Metodolog%C3%ADa-GMVV.pdf
My bad. The presentation looked suggestive at first glance.
I understand that these are only raw numbers of houses built per year without taking into account population growth, right? In that scenario, the case is even better against chavimo.
Some of the houses the government claims it built are just old homes with new zinc.
Quico, the relevant metric is houses built per capita (or household or 100,000 inhabitants). Obviously, in those terms the difference would be even more striking.
I wonder if these houses were included when the gov did the math…

These ones for sure were included, but I wonder how long they’ll stand…

And what happened to the “Operacion Lupa”? Are the government numbers on house building real or not? What does Julio Borges and PJ said?
