New Haiti Plan: Use The Rubble To Extend Port-au-Prince Harbor
Tuesday July 27, 2010 05:52 AM ET
President Preval wants to use the rubble of Haiti's earthquake to extend Port-au-Prince harbor. Basically he wants to dump all the rubble into the bay of Port-au-Prince to make the Haiti's capital bigger.
Yes......
But wait... There's more!
The Haitian president told the Miami Herald:
"Temporary shelters are not the solution... There just isn't enough space... We have to build up..."
Build up????
This means we have to build high rises...
Alelluia!
President Preval is pushing an innovative plan to redevelop downtown from the waterfront all the way to the Champ de Mars, the Miami Herald says.
I can already see it... Tall buildings... Beautiful hotels... Tourists... Jetskis... Oh My...
Well...
What do you think?
And please... Don't spoil my dream OK?
Let's play the "What if" game...
What if it did happen?

That's a great idea, but when will it be done? This is a perfect time now, all deputies and senators' terms have expired, there should be no political opposition to Rubble Moving Plan... Let's go and start moving the rubble. It is everywhwere in everything, people's lungs, the food, the water, the air.... Let's go/
Bring the Heavy Duty Equipments and let's start digging and moving dirts, trash, rubble, leftover building debris. It is sickening looking at this mess.. Way to Go, President Preval.. Go ahead and do something significant before you leave office, otherwise, Haitian Historians will not give you chance at all.
May God bless your plans, may your life as a civilian be prosperous... and sped your retirement money in Haiti... Make investments in Haiti soon to Boom economy, you will not regret it... Jean Gerard Rhau

Doesn't anyone care about the refugees? Waiting for permanent structures that Preval is talking about will take years. There are temporary houses that can be put up in hours already built here in the US that cost less than $5K. Look up Prizm.org. It seems like a genocide against the poor in Haiti

I read, hear and understand. When I picture Haiti I see my beautiful carabean island. People go to islands on vacations to get away from tall building, the fast life. I don't know Haiti is turning into something I don't understand. It's ok to use the rubles but in a good productive way. May God be with us.

This is a very good idea but impractical for the near future. People need shelter now, not 5-10 years from now.
Immediate shelter needs can't be replaced by Mr. Preval's big sky scrappers idea.
Throwing the rubble in the Harbor is an excellent idea.
Let us hope that precautionary measures are taken as to not destroy the harbor with filth and ranmants.

Nou pran nan kout bel pawol sa yo deja. Penga Preval panse l'ap vin bay pep ayisyen koukou pou tot la a. Kesyon pou Mr. Preval, kisa ou fe deja pandan ou sou pouvwa a? Yon lot kesyon anko Mr. Kile w'ap gentan fe sa yo ou di la a? W'ap eseye jwe smart oubyen? Di me! Tout sa ou di yo la a se byen, men mwen pa kwe ladan yo paske yon sel bagay mwen ou ka e fe se voye pep ayisyen al naje pou yo soti epi le y'ap manifeste pou yo pase pran w'... Blofe san fontye!
