There's an interesting report in this morning's Miami Herald: prominent Cuban defectors are choosing to live in Tampa over Miami.
The report omits one obvious reason: the political cartels that operate Miami and Miami-Dade, often familial, operate through the same iron fist as in Havana. Maybe our readers have other reasons they would prefer to move to Tampa than to Miami, if they were in the shoes of a Cuban exile from a prominent family. What's yours?

Why would any prominent Cuban defector want to come to a city that is still shaped by the ideological inheritors of Batista and his thugs?
It is well known that Miami operates as a black market economy, where insiders. Especially insiders have the political advantage. If you are a prominent exile from Cuba, Miami has so many downsides.
Interesting that EOM is one of the blogs blocked from being viewed inside Cuba yet the prominent defectors get the point. Stay away from Miami.
Very interesting. I read one of your pieces where there was a link back to an article from the 90's when the political landscape started to change and within 10 years, we are not dominated which what seems like Cuban politics.
This is a topic I honestly know little about because it's so shrouded behind closed doors within Miami Dade, as a whole, not among heavily Cuban populated pockets within our County.
Ybor City is Cuba, maybe that's why?
People go to Tampa instead of Miami because Tampa is in the United States.
