Poverty is to blame, not some individuals. When your countries only export is rum, how do you expect to have money to build earthquake resistant buildings? When you live on less than two dollars a day, how do you rent or buy a home that meets LA housing standards?

Much of that construction was not earthquake proof and Haiti is highly seismic. Much of the coastal regions of India are highly seismic. Remember the Goa quake? There were a lot of scheister construction companies that said their buildings were earthquake proof and turned out not to be. And San Francisco should be nothing but warehouses. There should not be a city there as it is foolish to build one on such a seismic area.
