Most poor people did not have the resources to simply leave. Its expensive when you live on 400-500 dollars a month.
Poverty here is absolute. If you have not been down here then STFU.
So then don't live in a place that historically gets plowed by hurricanes and floods? Being born there isn't an excuse. You can scrap together enough money to relocate.
What I love are all the people comparing an Earthquake to a Hurricane.
Protip - Earthquakes are 100% unpredictable; Whereas Hurricanes have weeks worth of warning.
And yes, people living on the coast -ANYWHERE- in the world can be just as douche-y if they complain about it. If you live on the coast, expect a giant wave to plow over your home one day. There ain't shit you can do about it.
