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.
