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
