-Si saben que eso va a devaluar el terreno, no entiendo por qué no hacen nada por evitarlo. Aquí hay gato encerrado, te lo digo yo — If they know that that is going to devalue the land, I don't understand why they don't do something to stop it. Something fishy is going on here / There's more to this than meets the eye / Something is rotten in the state of Denmark
