Is Madrid a Squatters Paradise?

[DesertRat]

Just got through watching Top Gear.

They had another "Supercar Showdown", but this is not the point.

They were in Spain, and the camera showed tons of freeways, towns, an airport, and HUGE sections of Madrid sitting empty. The physical infrastructure is just,..there, Lifeless. Unused.

Austerity kicked their ass hard.

This got me to thinking: This is all abandoned real estate. It appears to be "move in ready", or ready to be used for a fucking epic zombie movie set.

What say you? If you found huge sections of a major city just sitting there unused, would you say "Hell yeah, I'm home"?
