Up To 20 Years To Remove Earthquake Rubble In Haiti?

I was watching a CNN report about the Haiti earthquake recovery efforts and they say experts are predicting that it could take up to 20 years to remove all of the rubble in Haiti. 20 years???

That's a lot if you ask me!

Don't we have to clear the rubble first before we rebuild?

Why would it take so long? Is it money? Logistics? Or What?

CNN reporter Edvige Jean-Francois says that "only 20% of the rubble has been removed..."

So... it is going take 18 years to remove the rest?

If it's going to take 20 years to clear the rubble, then what kind of reconstruction a they talking about?

Hmmmmm...
