Our people are dying on the streets -- we are desperate, ... There are not enough houses for us. Just look at our babies, sleeping outside.

My suspicion is that people [at the open houses] may have been reluctant to put in a low bid directly to the owner, ... People are intimidated by that.

It's not about getting houses built. It's about people.

We were really afraid of fires. These old houses are so close together that if one was set afire, the whole street would all go up. We lived in terror for a week.

We build all of our houses out of concrete blocks.

My husband believes there is. He's thinking five houses is enough. I'm thinking, no, it's not.
