Chile is frequently hit by earthquakes - therefore their building codes are much stricter. Their houses are built to withstand devastating earthquakes. Haiti, on the other hand, has had relatively few earthquakes. Their situation reflects the poor housing common to the area, that, while cheaper, is worse in the long run.
