You are correct!

This is how it looked during the US Military occupation of 1919.

USACE was the answer then, and it remains so today.

They even had mass transit (see the tramway running.)

GUNNER, Potoprens was never a thing of beauty.

You are looking at a tiny part of the center and at the time wealthy section of the then small town.......a block away and you are "nan raje"

The reason for the current situation is not NGO or NO USACE.

It is Haitians inability to self govern and create a modern functioning state.

When the United States invaded Haiti in 1915......they found the country with the rail system in place since late 1800's....and the construction above was done by Haitians with Haitian money.

Moreover: a town built for at maximum 200,000 now inhabited by approximately 2,000,000; in addition to following a Middle Eatern helter skelter pattern of development after Papa Doc.

What is wrong with using our most abundant resource manual labor? I know it's the best way to rebuild the country - screw mechanization!
