----------
What happens when a city wants to evolve into a more walkable, transit-friendly, and housing abundant place -- and the state government is actively opposed to all of those things (and more)? Let's take a lovely January trip to St. Pete, Florida, and explore:
- The SunRunner, St. Pete's new bus rapid transit line
- The Pinellas Trail, which stretches through St. Pete from Bay to Gulf
- The Gas Plant District, currently home to the questionably designed Tropicana Field
- Central Avenue, including the Central Arts District, the Edge District, and the Grand Central District
- The Boyd Hill Nature Preserve
- and, of course, St Pete's bustling downtown, including the Pier and the farmer's market
