Haiti images are heart rending.
David Brooks makes the point that earthquake 7.0 in California killed under 100 people while the level 7.0 in Haiti may have killed as many as 30-100,000. Why?

Poverty seems pernicious in Haiti. There have been decades of aid. Dominican Republic must have had a similarly crappy colonial period and then dictators yet they have bounced back some.
How come?
