Where does the mayor of one of America's most failed cities go to get her economic-development ideas?

Cuba:

Remember how after Baltimore was half destroyed by rioters last summer Baltimore mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake’s made headlines by claiming she gave Baltimore rioters "Space to Destroy?"
She tried to walk back the unfortunate statement—but it only half-worked.In any case, as president of the U.S. Conference of Mayors, last week she was in (totally destroyed by Communism) Cuba leading a mayoral delegation which also includes Mitch Landrieu, mayor of New Orleans (among the murder capitols of the U.S.)
"These meetings and visits will provide U.S. mayors and Cuban officials the opportunity to share best practices for providing city services in education, healthcare, infrastructure, and transportation, according to the story."

Exit question: Which kind of Freedom-Hater is she? The kind who actually congratulates her self on the nobility of her intentions, or the type that is actually in the advanced stages of cynicism and just mouths that crap for the consumption of the cattle-masses?
