Two weeks in Cuba and you state definitively that there is no
homelessness there?  What was the methodology of your research?

A cursory search of the web indicates there is plenty of 
homelessness in Cuba.

Unfortunately the Left is in denial of this.

A few links:

The word "palestino" is a good search term for finding 
info re. Cuban homelessness.
