Kind of a puff piece for socialism, but it does illustrate something I've been saying for a few years now. Once the camel gets its nose under the tent, the whole tent will come down. The Cuban communists won't be able to control the political process once private enterprise takes root. People have their private businesses, and when the government tries to crack down on it, there is a backlash. A few years ago, there were very few private businesses, so if the government cracked down, it did not mean much. Now if the government cracks down, there are a lot of people who complain. I think they've already gone past the point of no return. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Let’s hope change will indeed take place, slowly, but surely.

a compromise in which state regulators will decide what property can be owned case by case...

Hardly a compromise. If 'property' means anything , it means the true owner of a property is the one who gets to decide what to do with it.

From my perspective, it will take a generation or more for Cuba reforms. Not a lot of investment dollars flowing into the Island.

However, I look at Key West and see investors are buying up hotels and properties. People like the tropics but like short trips and prefer law and order - Key West is growing fast.

Danang looks a lot nicer than Havana these days.

Here's a SHOT (no pun intended) of the last one!

I visited Cuba a few months ago. I visited the property my family owned (still owns by right) pre-Castro and wanted to scream.

The place is utterly destroyed... gutted by Marxist fools and thugs. Anyone with brains or ability is dead or has emigrated elsewhere.

It will be a long time - if ever -before it is even a sad shadow of its former self.

That's a true statement but the Cuban Communist party will never allow that to happen........This is all a charade for the U.S. MSM to propagandize...........
