The DR and Haitian POOR can not afford to build houses with concrete roofs and walls.

The houses which killed the majority of Haitians contained concrete roofs, walls with some homes having multiple floors.

So, the vast majority of the deaths associated with the QUAKE fell upon the Haitian middle class and upper classes.

Thus, those who thought most protected due to their economic stability were the ones most affected.

THE IRONY OF LIFE!

Food for thought-

If I'm wrong, then please correct.
