I don't know where all the homeless people will go...I'm wondering if they will just shove the debris off into the ocean and start all over ? If homes are destroyed in a country where very few people have bank accounts, how will they prove they own the house place with no paperwork, receipts, etc ? Will they have Prefab, quickly built homes ? Will they put up barracks? Will the debris pushed into the ocean make new land and who will own it ? Would NOW be a good time to build it up into a tourist attraction , where the folks make their money off the tourist trade ? They said it was 80 degrees over there....sounds great to me ! More than ever folks from around the world are buying vacation homes in the warmer Countries....why not Haiti ? Yes, a very poor country, but maids, etc. should work cheaply...I believe the political situation is pretty calm right now.... Don't the living Presidents always get together during times of crisis to prove that we are all together in this relief effort ?

It is great that Clinton and Bush are heading up an aid program for Haiti. In times of crises people put political views aside and work together for the common good. >From the pictures of Port Au Prince it looked like a lot of multiple dwelling housing. It's too bad that it was not more earthquake "proof" (if there is such a thing). But you can be sure that out of town and in the country side, many people lived in nothing more than 4 corner posts and anything available (fabric, tin, cardboard, etc.) nailed or tied from one corner to the other. Even roofs might be a combination of cardboard and tree branches. When we were in the D R, I was shocked at the housing and Haiti is much poorer than the D.R.. It will take of lot of work to replace housing for that many people.
