The storm Noel uncovers the poverty of the Dominican Republic camouflageated by recent apartments and business towers constructions, great baseball players, orchestras of merengue and Bachata, thousand of "jeepetas" (a fashion simbolic of economic power), isolated tourism resources away from the cities,... |

Ring of Poverty in RD
The "ring of poverty" it is too thick in comparison with the finger in the form of all those high buildings (towers), or the small group that has the economic power in the Dominican Republic. The consequences of that uppercase economic contrast it generates the early morning large line in the American Consulate to request a visa of immigrant, suicidal trips in small boats (yawls) through the sea toward Puerto Rico and from there toward New York, crimes, delinquencies, large number of people requesting or selling foods and small articles in the streets, etc.
As the country sides don't offer the possibilities of a worthy life, in economic and educational term, the country side people moves toward the cities. Many take illigally possession of public terrestrial that in most of the cases should be dedicated to the preservation of the flora and natural beauties o any country, such as margins of the rivers, beaches, parks, etc. , They built housings no appropriate with the minimum of economic resources. Is the same case in all the cities of the Dominican Republic. There is no a law (if there is one it is not fulfilled) that controls the urbanization and quality of constructions of housings. For such a reason, around the cities are formed "rings of extremely vulnerable poverty", alone no to the hunger, unemployment, delinquency, crimes, but also, to the natural phenomena as hurricanes and storms that so frequent are in the Caribbean.
Anillo de Pobreza en RD
El "anillo de pobreza" es demasiado grueso en comparación con el dedo que forman de todos esos edificios altos, o seas el pequeño grupo que tiene el poder económico en la República Dominicana. Las consecuencias de ese contraste mayusculo genera las grandes filas en el Consulado Americano para solicitar una visa de inmigrante, viajes suicidas en pequeños botes (yolas) a través del mar hacia Puerto Rico y de ahí hacia New York, crímenes, delincuencias, cantidades de gente pidiendo o vendiendo comidas y pequeños artículos en las calles, etc.
Como los campos no ofrecen las posibilidades de una vida digna, en termino económico y educativo, el campesino se traslada hacia las ciudades. Muchos toman posesión ilegalmente de terrenos publicos, que en la mayoría de los casos deberían ser destinados a la preservación de la flora y bellezas naturales, tales como márgenes de los ríos, playas, parques, etc., Construyen viviendas no apropiadas con el mínimo de recursos. Ese es el mismo caso en todas las ciudades dominicanas. No hay una ley (si la hay no se cumple) que controle la urbanización y calidad de construcciones de viviendas. Por tal motivo, alrededor de las ciudades se forman "anillos de pobrezas" extremadamente vulnerables, no solo al hambre, desempleo, delincuencia, crímenes, sino también, a los fenómenos naturales como huracanes y tormentas, que tan frecuentes son en el Caribe.
