You can see similar abandoned houses in the Spanish countryside. Young 
people do not want to live in a village and live the hard life of farming, 
so they move to the  cities. Over time, there are not enough children to 
keep the village school open, and a development similar to what Sonny 
describes takes place. In Spain, the pace of this change has been extremely 
rapid, leading to a phenomenon called ?La Espa?a vac?a? or ?the empty 
Spain?. 

In smaller or more densely populated countries such abandoned properties 
would be re-purposed since land is valuable; I never saw such places in the 
Netherlands or Switzerland. But Spain is big and its 47 million people are 
heavily concentrated in the cities, so the countryside is extremely sparsely 
populated, and it shows.

Cheers,
Nathan
