it is a shame that time after time....all those poor who cant offord to buy a place to live or even rent, end up puttin gup their makeshift housing in these flood prone areas...because.... they are there and available...no one with money would build there!!!!
and when the rains and floods come.. they are totally wiped out again!!
I have seen if first hand in Santiago, La Vega, Sosua, and Santo Domingo...
too bad
